My family lived in the US briefly, many years ago. Prior to that life was smaller in many ways. There were no 75 channels on tv and there certainly was no Mother's Day, Father's Day, Presidents Day and what have you. We had Children's Day where we most certainly did not get to escape from...

Switching Things Around
As comforting sameness is; it's also well...same. A bit of difference in doing things or even contemplating it can give your brain a boost of sorts. A friend who's a horror movie afficianado and I decided to watch a movie last night; midweek movies have a fun factor that weekend ones don't. Our fun was... Continue Reading →
Eye Roll Blog Post#1
My kid's school suddenly announced an earlier closure to the school year due to rising temperatures yesterday. When TO found out about it, the joyous whoop he let out probably was audible a few blocks over. So this is Day One of summer break 2022 and Mr.Zombie-During-School-Days got up on his own before 6 am,... Continue Reading →

Coorg Au Naturalé
A long winding road that always leads somewhere interesting... It's a jungle out there...isn't that fantastic! Serpentine and yet completely harmless.. Star and moon gazing through a Dobsonian telescope.
Road Trip: Day Three
We took in the sights around Mysore a bit and then drove to Madikeri in Coorg. Less pictures from the drive this time around since TO was in a *major* snit from being denied a Choco Shot at a place we stopped to refuel ourselves and get some caffeine. Apparently if you deny a child... Continue Reading →
Road Trip: Day Two
After spending a fairly cozy night in Bangalore ( I have to remind myself to say Bengaluru; it doesn't come easy) we started out for Mysore this morning and the road was fantastic! While Google was showing us a shorter option, Red did his due diligence and found a route that was slightly longer but... Continue Reading →
