Happy Hump Day…

My day started a bit sluggishly. Alexa was chirping her annoying wake-up alarm that Red sets up but rarely wakes up to. I wanted to pretend that I had no To-Dos on my list and woke Red up and told him to get TO ready for school. And he did. TO even brought me a... Continue Reading →

Nom Nom Nostalgia

Whether it was because of my turning a year older recently or me seeing that my child is slowly getting into the big kid phase of his life; I have been nostalgic to the core. It's a very visceral feeling for me. For every parent there can be a near-constant contradiction when you see and... Continue Reading →

We Need Trappings

I'll be the first one to admit it, my kid's sticktoitiveness comes and goes. He's tried his hands at roller blading and then suddenly didn't want to do it anymore. He's resisted all attempts at learning to swim properly; preferring to channel an otter as his spirit animal instead. Red tried badminton with him and... Continue Reading →

39

So here we are again...had to be, right? Birthdays being the yearly thing that they are. I am happy to report that the girth hasn't kept up with my age. It would make turning 40 *quite* traumatic. As time goes by, I find that I settle into these little traditions on certain days; birthday lunches... Continue Reading →

Loving Your Child

Isn't tough. It gets switched on almost from the time they are born but liking them every single minute of every day, that takes some doing. Imagine seeing this gorgeous sunrise and feeling at peace with the world at large... when suddenly 'Pig gam ba li, de la pig gam ba li ba Pig gam ba... Continue Reading →

Mucho Loco Motoring

TO loves to dance. He does his own thang and is unabashed about it while at home or in any place he feels comfortable. He's lithe, has expressive eyes (which he widens mainly for more effect) and he loves to twirl, swirl and get his groove on. Any song he likes becomes our party track... Continue Reading →

You Are What You Read…

Red reads "interesting" things. He reads fiction, non-fiction and plenty of things that 'thinking' people seek out.  Am far more pedestrian and I think I know the answer to that as well...let me just pull up my virtual couch as I hark back to my childhood for the insight. When I was in 5th grade,... Continue Reading →

Ta 2018!

I've been lazing in bed all day. A semi-cold grounded me. But as always, laziness plays a far more potent role than I ever give credit to. 2018 was a year of massive highs and lows. Saying goodbye for good isn't ever easy. It's harder still when it's out of the blue and leaves you... Continue Reading →

418th

It's not your usual, run-of-the-mill number is it? 418? But it's been 418 blog posts since that fateful day back in October 2013 when I sat down to test drive WordPress for my work-related blogs and found that it was actually quite fun and easy to blog here. Since then it's seen some periods of... Continue Reading →

Of Mice And Men

TO's school puts together a pretty good show for their annual day. The stage, the lighting, the whole shebang is something I look forward to each year. And it's actually rather superlative given that they have to co-ordinate with kids ranging from kindergartners to 5th graders. This  year's extravaganza was their rendition of the Pied...
