I've lived in quite a few places. Changed houses, states, countries and a continent in the process. But the longest I'd lived anywhere till date was the first place Red and I bought after we got married. It wasn't that much of a well-thought out decision. We didn't factor in any green space close by,... Continue Reading →
Ode To My Oddballs
My family is a bit kooky. And in that we're perfectly normal I suppose. Since I don't have a "fly-on-the-wall" access to my friends and neighbors' homes, am assuming that their kookiness can rival and often outdo mine. Those who are painfully normal, I don't know what to say...you are clearly the minority amongst us.... Continue Reading →
Driving Dairies
Imagine this...you're driving on a crowded market road; pedestrians jostling with vendors, buses bearing down on you and the inevitable morons who insist on driving with the high beam on; blinding you for what seems like eternity. To add to the fun, imagine shielding a plastic bag full of fish for the aquarium; on the... Continue Reading →

By the time he gets home it's usually late afternoon and then he snacks, plays, does his homework or has play dates in the community we live in so we seldom step out during weekdays. On...

Frankenstein and Kettle bells
Disclaimer: I have no verifiable knowledge that Frankenstein's Monster ever used kettle bells on those brawny arms of his. However, if he had, it would totally explain why he walked like he had an atomic wedgie going on 24/7! * For the uninitiated am going to add a link here about what an atomic wedgie...

After A Hiatus…
It has been 22 days since I last blogged or even created a draft. I wish there was a reason for this kind of a gap but there isn't anything except for me being unable to gather my thoughts. And now that the thoughts are gathering, it's akin to a storm brewing. So I had... Continue Reading →
Retroblog
7 years ago I published this bit of rant (scroll down) on Facebook notes. I was more than halfway into my first year as a mother and the mini muffin was an adorable individual who was just getting into his groove as a tiny human hurricane. The text is all in caps to express my... Continue Reading →
The Non-Pathological Word Salad
Psych 101 introduced me to the notion of a word salad and initially I found it quite an interesting concept while it was still a theory in my books. Then over time I actually witnessed, heard rather, quite a few word salads while I was interning in various places; attempting to become a psychologist. And now,... Continue Reading →

Another year, another cake and more food for thought!
