A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I first got to know about Mothers' Day a few months after landing in US. Suffice to say India of the 80s didn't celebrate moms as a rule. 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 →
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 →
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 →
Yesterday I took a break from the germs in my house and went to sample the germs in a friend's place instead. And before all the faces get pinched about taking germs lightly, I'd like to point out that these are all known germs and we've been germing it up long enough so that the... Continue Reading →
Am sniffly, have a stuffy nose and my head feels like it's full of rocks. Once I gave TO his afterschool snack, I made myself a cuppa joe and leaned into the cup in DEEEEP appreciation. The brat looked at me contemplatively and asked, " You love coffee more than me and P (Red) don't... Continue Reading →

Seeing the zombie walk, the groggy look and the utterly gorgeous lashes fan his cheeks she chirps," Oh why are you so beautiful?!!". And the child replies, "Because you made me." "You bet your ass I made you!" "Hey! You... Continue Reading →

Movie reviews and picture blogs ruled the roost as always with this... Continue Reading →
The year started on a fun enough note. Had plenty of adored people around. There was music. There was dancing. There were hyper kids. Loads of alcohol flowing as well. And lights flashing...the whole shebang! And then we crashed, bleary-eyed, into bed only to be woken up at what seemed like an ungodly hour but... Continue Reading →
TO and I started 2020's fun segment off with a mother&son movie date. That nachos and cheese popcorn were a part of it goes without saying. And that the dust from the nachos and the cheese from the popcorn don't go without a hard scrubbing; goes without saying also. Now, onto the movie! A lone... Continue Reading →
When wandering around the streets of Barcelona, near Sagrada Familia or the Arc de Triompf, you will come upon the church of Sant (St.) Joan (not a woman). After seeing the style of Gaudi's masterpiece, this church seems run of the mill but take a round of the place and discover it's beauty and architecture... Continue Reading →
