Ask a woman if she's easier in her mind about being 36 years old versus being 36 in the waist and you can bet you'll be on the receiving end of the MOST disdainful look which roughly translates to, " Yeah right! AS IF! What kind of question is that anyhow? How DUH ARE you?!"... Continue Reading →
A Bit Of Smugness
Since I started this blog on a lark in 2013 I've been quite keen to see what kind of digital footfalls I get. Somehow seeing the list of various countries that the visitors come from really interests me and often surprises me as well. But the internet being what it is, I guess nothing should...

Me Being Me…
I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't indulge in gripes about my pet peeves. So what if it's at the start of the year? This way am getting some rants and grumbles out of my system so there's less to spew and gnash my teeth about! I have made a couple of decisions.... Continue Reading →
A Chef Named Rinse…
A bite of a salad sets the tone for a holiday...go figure!
2015: A Retrospective
2015 is about to come to a close and yet there were times it seemed to drag itself out unendingly! Biggest news from our side is that the brat is now in a big kids' school. He's only in first grade but he seems to be changing perceptibly in front of our eyes. He's learning... Continue Reading →

However if I was being very, very honest I would probably need to write a couple more to make it 200 original posts since I know I've reblogged (another author's) atleast one post...

A Bloglet on Introspection
There are days when being a parent seems akin to being a modern-day Sisyphus. Or did I mean Prometheus? Either way it's a (Greek) drama of epic proportions and you end up wishing someone or the other to Hades atleast once. Finit. Posted from WordPress for Android
And We’re 6…
Well WE aren't six. We're mid-30s and staying that way till the big 4-0 rolls over and flattens us into pancakes. The brat is 6. And has a nasty case of sniffles and a hacking cough. Oh joy. A year older and about to be pumped full of meds. Which kid doesn't want that? We... Continue Reading →
Ode To A Hot Cuppa Tea
Coffee rejuvenates. It brings us back from the dead but there's a (uplifting) magic in a hot cup of tea as well. Picture this- a clear tawny liquid that you can see straight through. Add a healthy squeeze of lemon and some slivers of ginger into the mix and you have a hot, tangy sip... Continue Reading →
