A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Some people have trouble being cooped up. Even if it isn't in a tiny space and even if they don't suffer from claustrophobia. Take my kid for example...sitting still is a challenge. He'd rather be running his mouth and legs off all at once and flit between shadowing bowling, getting jiggy with it and talking... Continue Reading →
If anyone's ever been tasked with getting their kid out of bed on a Monday morning, especially in winter, will know what that kid would look like as a drunk adult. The lurching, the groaning, the guttural sounds coming from their throat, the near vampire-like sensitivity to light...the whole shebang! You have a mini- facsimile... Continue Reading →
Yesterday TO was in a bit of a defiant mood and decided to test the waters by flouting the rules and diktats laid out. I did the only thing that I do when yelling isn't an option; I stopped talking to him. It was quite a bit of a blessed silence for Red am sure.... Continue Reading →

It's neither too high up, too far down and definitely doable whenever the elevators are out. But the view is something that's been rather remarkable over the years.... Continue Reading →
I crashed by myself last night...was listening to music, sorting out playlists...everything you need head space for and which can't always be done effectively with someone staring at you with googly eyes and asking, "what are you doing?" for the millionth time. I avoided weird bedtime conversations but couldn't avoid them during the next morning... Continue Reading →
For anyone who's wondering about the sudden jumps in the numbers on the blog posts, let's just put it down to outright artist license and move onto the good stuff. Here's another post which brought a smile to my face because life has interesting ways of teaching us lessons.. Vengeance is mine, and I will... Continue Reading →
Another one that caught my eye from the days of yore... Right from the time my son was born, I was struck by how delicate he was. I knew babies are vulnerable and helpless but this one seemed to embody those qualities and more. He was a thin baby, weighing just on this side of... Continue Reading →
