Once upon a time, there was a little boy. He was a bit scrawny when he was born but he put on weight and filled out and got himself some plump little cheeks, arms and legs and gurgled all day long. He was a happy little boy and made his parents very happy too! Except... Continue Reading →
A New Offering
A particular project of mine has been in the pipeline for a long time. First in the mental and then digital one but it's finally seeing the light of day. I've started a blog where I review products that I have personally used and can vouch for. The idea came about when I was forced... Continue Reading →
Oh-Cult!
I had a LONG discussion, just before bedtime, with TO about Annabelle. How the whole thing came about, why a doll of all things, how possession takes place, how a possessed item can go on a killing spree and how it was different from Child's Play.

That we do it now is more to do with the influence of various types television shows over the decades. Plus people like their social media timelines... Continue Reading →
The Nostalgic Post
I wrote about being nostalgic in this morning's post and this is the follow-on one. It doesn't take a Freud to know that ever since my movement have become restricted to all things essentials, I've been dreaming (day and night-kinds) about open roads, travelling...the whole shebang. We had to cancel our annual summer break road... Continue Reading →
Cabin Fever Blog#1
So tedium is finally settling in. A lack of a sense of urgency is hard to fight against consistently. Whether it's shoving TO into his school bus or waving Red off at the door, there's a sense of things being time bound. And now, there isn't. For a lot of things I think the part... Continue Reading →
