A sip of an insipid tea sparks a flavorful memory

Don’t Have Kids…
but be around them. Children are Nature's balm. They may come across as incomprehensible, demanding, whiny brats who you often fantasize about leaving on someone else's doorstep, but kids have something we end up losing as adults- an ability to laugh at the silliest and simplest of things. Take a little boy who's recently become... Continue Reading →
Coffee Is The New Glue
Somedays are TOUGH. You get up and move along without realizing that you're putting one foot in front of the other. Zombies have a nice shuffling gait and make it very evident that they are in lurch-mode. But there are some days when you can't remember how you got from one room to another because...

A Forced Hiatus
I type this out, with the middle finger of my left hand raised and ostensibly flipping off the world at large. But that's not so. I'm not that angsty. Or am I? A few days ago I tried to save a silly glass from toppling over in the wind. The wind was gusty and the... Continue Reading →
Counting To 20
Today, I was QUITE miffed. I don't like driving in traffic. There are moronic men who act like it's ok to keep honking while we're at a red light, behind a sea of cars. There are also auto drivers who have their heads so far up their ass that they can effectively do a quick... Continue Reading →
A Post From The Past

Travails of Sleepytime Many of us sleep alone at nights. And they are the lucky ones. The ones... Continue Reading →
Serenity NOW!!

Summer Holidays…Why Moms Crumble
If you're a mother...chances are that you more than just like your kid. Who could resist them? Imps, scamps and monsters to the core but dammit if they aren't the cutest ones at that! The reason the charm of the summer holidays wear off so quickly...for moms, is that the child is always looking... Continue Reading →
Backseat Diaries
MLM and I went to see Antman&Wasp today. We'd made plans ever since we saw the trailer online but I had some unexpected travel come up and the movie date got pushed back. It's a testament to his affection that he waited to see the movie with me. Of course his father wasn't keen on... Continue Reading →
The Flip Side To Classical Conditioning…
I run from my kid. It's the truth. After the first hugs and kisses of the morning are done I run and hide; especially during his summer break. He's like a bloodhound. He can always track me down. No matter where I am. SIGH. No loo is secure enough. No pressure cooker whistle is loud... Continue Reading →
