A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
You find toothpaste on the ceiling of your bathroom/top of the shower cubicle and pretty much everywhere but on the toothbrush. You see animal figurines appearing in laundry baskets, inners, the fridge and also the vegetable baskets. The little hooman hides the remote in his school backpack as payback for switching the telly off. There's... Continue Reading →
And by that I don't mean the Snow Whitey kinds with bluebirds chirping all around me. I mean the Princess Vespa-kinds from Spaceballs. Take a look- So these are the times when I caught myself thinking of certain things and then doing a mental doubletake. While washing the dishes in the utility area today the... Continue Reading →
after moaning and groaning, a mom finally gets her act together about an extended home-time period.
One massive problem I face about having kids is that you need to filter, moderate, exercise judgement before speaking.

A highly caffeinated and enthusiastic mother greets her only offspring first thing in the morning. Seeing the zombie walk, the groggy look and the utterly gorgeous lashes fan his cheeks she chirps," Oh why are you so beautiful?!!". And the child replies, "Because you made me." "You bet your ass I made you!" "Hey! You... Continue Reading →
TO had a good time dancing to Shaitaan Ka Saala on New Year's eve but didn't know the name of the song. His Hindi being what it is, half the words just escape him entirely! And when he does utter them, they are so far from where they started out that it's more of a... Continue Reading →
