A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I admit, I should be caffeined up before doing anything pertaining to my child on weekday mornings. Actually that's a good rule of thumb to follow all through now that I look back on the last 10 years. Like every kid on a "winter" morning, he was snuggling deeper under the covers and refusing to...

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 →
Disney's latest offering is a testimony to parents' love for their children. A) They buy the movie tickets and then spend a bomb on snacks the kids didn't need to eat and B) They sit through the entire movie while a small voice in their minds keep going, " Gag me with a spoon!" The... Continue Reading →
It's a longish title I admit but sometimes you have such a doozy of a week that you just need to get it out of your system and can't be bothered by the aesthetics of formatting or "optimum" title lengths. Apparently blogging tip#1 is that one needs to keep the title 'short and punchy' to... Continue Reading →
My kid rates fairly middling to high on the maintenance scale. As a family am sure we all do. In each others's eyes if nothing else We rate above average on the drama scale too.

We've been having slightly wonky weather here. It's rainy and overcast one minute but suddenly bright rays of sunshine will burst through the clouds and blind us all. TO has been slightly under the weather. His usual scheduled spell of cough-cold-almost-guaranteed throat infection during the monsoons is slightly delayed this year but it's finally made...

The month of August is usually quite festive in this household. Both Red and TO have birthdays. Incidentally both had milestone birthdays this year- their 40th and 10th. Needless to say, the 10th birthday brouhaha was everything that it should be. Between 2 cakes spanning the loves of his life aka cricket and reptilian monsters... Continue Reading →
When Red and I moved houses to where we currently live, the clincher wasn't just the community living but also the view we'd get from our floor. 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 got too busy catching up with my folks and forgot to publish this last night. A little girl who's become a part of our family of 3 was paying us a visit this evening. Needless to say with TO turning 10 and his cuteness factors dipping day by day; a chirping and twirling child... Continue Reading →
People tend to see shapes in the clouds, some even see things with their eyes closed but I think TO kind of took the cake today. After he got home from school today and was having his snack, he suddenly said 'Mustache'. For a second I thought he meant I needed to schedule an appointment... Continue Reading →
