This book speaks for itself. It's non-preachy and basically talks about the incomprehensible, inexplicable turns a person's life takes once they become a parent. From juice boxes to joy, partying to poop and basically the utter, utter delight and nerve-wracking situation that is parenthood. Brian Gordon is someone every parent and non-parent should read (although... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Ghachar Ghochar
It's been a long time since I've done a book review. Better late than never, especially for a book like Ghachar Ghochar. A friend and fellow reading afficiando who also wears other interesting hats was cleaning house and put up a give-away of her beloved books. Red lucked upon this particular one and the result...

Why I Stay Away From iPhones
A random and sluggist look at Facebook on a Thursday morning led to hilarity of epic proportions for this blogger. Still wiping my tears away.
Conversation At A Playground
The brat has two pals he mainly hangs out with. He's closer to one of them and with the other, he's not feeling the love much of late. Yesterday while waiting for one of the favorite aunties to come down with the kite and string, the threesome were having this serious conversation: G: Hey! Where's... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Diwale
It's not the worst movie I've ever seen and neither will it be. Am sure I'm fated to see much, much worse. But Dilwale was a bit loose compared to the usual Rohit Shetty fare IMHO. And while it makes zero since to critique an out and out potboiler from Bollywood, one must undertake... Continue Reading →
When You Can’t Sleep…
in the middle of the night, you catch up on stuff you've recorded on tv for just such a situation. Red and I've been watching The Voice for a couple of weeks now. We usually end up watching movies or sitcoms and usually avoid the singing and dancing competitions but while surfing channels on a... Continue Reading →
Movie Review- Tamasha
I went and saw Tamasha yesterday. And here's why I liked it: Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor work. Totally work. Their chemistry is palpable. Helps that Kapoor isn't an aging Khan and an actual contemporary of the lead actress; playing his own age. Corsica is beautiful. And the fact that they moved away from Capri... Continue Reading →
Sanities and Tensions…
The brat is keeping us massively entertained with the things he's been learning in school. And while he no longer has the problem with his hearing that he did before, he is still prone to quite a bit of distractibility. That coupled with things that are repeated while he is in a group, like the school assembly,... Continue Reading →
CC And Counting
That CC is just me trying to be clever and semi-gloat because this is the 200th post on this blog *drum roll*. However if I was being very, very honest I would probably need to write a couple more to make it 200 original posts since I know I've reblogged (another author's) atleast one post...

Movie Review: Welcome Back…Erm Don’t
Yup, that's right. Welcome Back should have at rider attached to it- DON'T! Where the first movie wasn't a shoo-in for the comedy of the year award, it was still entertaining and doesn't fail to elicit chuckles on reruns on tv. But the sequel has a couple of things which make it one of the... Continue Reading →
