Random. Structured. Haphazard. All Me.
A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
About a year and a half ago I was waiting at Barcelona airport, all agog for my first exposure to Spain. I was travelling to meet the bestie and this was to be the trip of a lifetime. It was all that and much more! But sitting in 2021 and seeing the things playing out... Continue Reading →
Red and I got married 14 years ago and he was living in a pretty compact apartment in the city, close to where he used to work back in the day. It was a rental, we had very little furniture and tried to make it a cozy space with some brightly coloured cushions, sheets and... Continue Reading →
We are a one-child family. I come from a single-child family while Red has a sibling. My dad has numerous siblings and my mom has two. I've gotten pitying looks on and off while I was growing up, about being a "single, only, lonely" child. And I've smiled to myself because that's not all that... Continue Reading →
Mothers spend a lot of time waiting for their children. Starting with the actual birth itself, then the latching on, followed by the weaning off, the all-important toilet training, eating solids, walking, talking, running and then the slow and inevitable process of growing up.

Heads up! This is an image-heavy post... While 2019 ended on an interesting note- first international... Continue Reading →
As a parent I find myself doing things which have an echo from my childhood. The things my parents did, decisions they took etc. Just over the past few days I've had a few instances come up which have made me hark back to my (extreme) youth, am still youthful by someone's yardstick so I...

I was taking a look at some videos I'd downloaded on the laptop and found this gem...it's not to be missed. And it's a perfect example of what kids are all about... https://www.youtube.com/embed/stpOgaGMmoY
I started blogging on WordPress as a lark. I was test driving it to see how comfortable it might be for the org I was working for back in 2013. We wanted to start off a blog with information relevant for our clients and needed a platform easy enough for multiple people to post content... Continue Reading →
Red and I decided that reducing the amount of time TO spends on digital media is the best thing for him and us...now and long-term. And in order to do that, we need to switch off (literally and figuratively) from the stuff we're doing and spend time with him; no matter what. And so we... Continue Reading →
