Lost In Translation…Yet Again
At a pre-Diwali party held recently, we had mirth upto our eyeballs and then some. And while it does no good to harp on the difficult year everyone's been through; the enjoyment for me is enhanced because everyone I see on a daily basis is healthy and largely happy. A bunch of us started playing... Continue Reading →
Perils Of Parenting
I used to love horror movies. I utterly enjoyed the heck out of them and I was ghoulish enough to rate them on the BCI- Body Count Index...you know where you check to see if enough people are ending up dead or not. I realized early on that the BCI is directly proportional to my... Continue Reading →
The Retro Song Bloglet
Sometimes while waiting for the quinoa to get cooked all the way through, you think of Bon Jovi and his ballads. And then Bed of Roses pops into your head. And you play it and sing along till your flesh and blood comes and tells you that he can't hear the narrator talk about the... Continue Reading →
Haiku Bloglet
TO was introduced to haikus in his English literature class. The introduction worked well but when he was asked to write his own haikus he faltered since haikus about extinct creatures or reptiles are not as easy as it seems. For all its focus on nature, haikus didn't take into account that Komodo dragons might... Continue Reading →
Dafuq Bloglet#2
TO just shocked me a few seconds ago when he found a bug crawling around in his room. He picked up my slipper (not his, mine) and said, "Say hello to my little friend!" and squished it into oblivion!! When did he see Scarface and how did he even know this quote?!!
Movie Review: The Tomorrow War
If you aren't a sci-fi movie, aliens and wormholes kind of person, then right off the bat; this movie isn't for you. But if you are a Chris Pratt kind of person and want to see what more Owen and Star Lord can do when not running away from dinosaurs and Thanos then this movie... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Black Widow
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a downer watching Black Widow knowing that Romanov sacrifices herself in Endgame. Set in the time after the incidents of Captain America: Civil War, this movie gives a proper backstory to Natasha Romanov and lets the audience know how she became the Black Widow. But that's not...

Aftermath of a Movie
We watch one movie as a family every week. We usually do it on Friday nights since it's a good way to bring in the weekend for TO. And since it's usually a family movie, we all end up being either parts of "awwww" or "siggghhhs" or just have lots of laugh-out-loud moments. With TO... Continue Reading →
Color Me Vengeful!
TO and Red have their little skirmishes from time to time. It mainly arises from TO growing into his teenhood and Red being the perennial good cop who realises that he can also be the bad cop from time to time instead of punting it to me. This morning's conversation with TO brought to light... Continue Reading →
