I've been telling the offspring to buckle down and do a couple of things but being a parent means leading by example (or so we pretend we do) so I'm going to try and hit a few targets of my own. Expect grumblings from time to time. I want to blog more. I love to... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Avengers- Infinity War
Note: Contains spoiler This movie was massively awaited by me, MLM and a group of friends who team up and watch the superhero movies together and eat a good amount of nachos and popcorn in the bargain. After a near miss of the entire movie due to a mix-up about where it was supposed to... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Padmaavat
Dropping the "i" from the title didn't provide much relief to the Karni Sena am guessing, but it certainly generated more buzz around an already buzzing hive of wasps and hornets. But getting back to the movie- it's epic! In its grandiosity, its conception and sadly, its mediocrity. And yet, it still works. And how!... Continue Reading →
Tech-Pottery
I love technology. It has no boundaries. The scope of it ranges from the little to the humongous. And that's really saying something. I have a sick kid at home who's been using his "I'm sick" status as a Get Out Of Jail card. I've been annoyed, short tempered and most desperately in need of... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Pari
This movie is Prosit Roy's love affair with the older parts of Calcutta, the bits that make it stand apart from every other city in India. It is strangely enough, also an ode to the nail cutter and umbrellas. Never has the humble implement of hand and foot hygiene received so much spotlight neither, for... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Sita’s Ramayana
I haven't ventured down the path to graphic novels at all. Parted ways with comics after grade school and just the written word was enough to hold my attention without needing the bells and whistles that illustrations provide. However, the senses must be appeased and of late I've wanted to have more visual stimulations while... Continue Reading →
V-Day Bloglet
I woke up a sleepy male this morning with a nuzzle, a hug and a kiss and told him I loved him. He replied by saying, "Me too. Can I watch the iPad after I come back from school today?" Be still my beating heart! Such emotion will sweep me away...
Peas, Worms&Reruns
I'm stuck with buying frozen peas when my batch of fresh ones run out. I try to buy a few kilos at a time and then chuck them in the refrigerator for as long as they'll keep and go back to the supermarket for the frozen stuff once I run out. Yesterday while I was... Continue Reading →
Sunday Morning Bloglet
I did not think that I would have occasion to ever write the words: I woke up with a penny stuck to my leg. But the universe and (almost always) ny child conspire to have me say the most unlikely things in life Happy Sunday people. Here's to more currency being found on your person... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Arjun Reddy
After a long time, 10 years to be precise, I watched a Telugu movie- Arjun Reddy and enjoyed it quite a bit. As a person who doesn't have too much fluency in the language, scratch that...I can make do if I have to, else I nod my head along to pretty much everything; I didn't... Continue Reading →
