Friday the 13th

Today is Friday the 13th. When I was in school, we would try not to step on cracks, avoid all sorts of things which might bring us bad luck and a few of us would always try to get in a horror movie. And what could be better than the namesake of the day aka... Continue Reading →

Achievements in Middle Age

This isn't a history-related post but one entirely about the onset and eventual acceptance of one's middle age viz moi! I woke up feeling challenged to do atleast one thing that makes a difference in my life; however small. And I wanted to solve a problem; again however small and I did. What is miraculous...

2025: The Year of Car Conversations

I muse. Often. And while I was musing over my life-sustaining elixir this morning, I realized that 2025 has really been the year of 'car conversations' for me. For the uninitiated, a 'car conversation' is simply a conversation that you have had while in a car or while someone else is in a car and... Continue Reading →

Blast From the Past

TO is studying psychology in high school. I use the word studying very lightly. The mere thought of studying and revising before exams acts better than a sedative ever could. And while he is reportedly awake, alert and participating in class; he does a very thorough impression of someone suffering from amnesia whenever he's asked... Continue Reading →

SPARROW was sitting on the floor, in the middle of our dining room. The sparrow flitted from the floor to the dining table... Continue Reading →

I mention this beforehand so there will be moderately less judging about why I gave the answer I did. TO was furiously drawing scenes of battle etc on the board and I in my... Continue Reading →

This year too, seems to have flown by. We've had all sorts of experiences by turn- happy, sad, meh and pretty much all the emojis have had a chance to be centerstage...even the poopy one. And oh the realizations! I can honestly say it's been chockfull of everything and then some. We've grown a bit... Continue Reading →

The Beauty of Alone Time

I woke up earlier than expected today because somehow my daily wake-up alarm got set for Sunday as well...oh well, no matter. I did my Wordle (I lost). I pottered around the house (needs dusting). I brushed my teeth (need to order more toothpaste). I then made my way to the kitchen after collecting the... Continue Reading →
