Kids are trouble. If our parents had known that then and unless they were full of the love of humankind our existence would be voided. But this is a more realistic and non-candy floss way of looking at having kids. The making of the kids is probably the best part of the entire deal but... Continue Reading →
Saying When
I am a daughter of an never-diagnosed, almost-OCD father. And I mean that in semi-jest. Growing up, life was a series of bedspreads which had to be redone because of a semi-wrinkle towards the edge of the bed and the litany of "Perfection is NOT an accident." My mother, God Bless HER!, isn't OCD but... Continue Reading →
Womens Magazines: The Serpent of Eden?
I used to like to read Cosmo and Marie Claire and Better Homes&Gardens until I realized that they weren't reflective of my reality at all. According to Cosmo (and its ilk) life should be all about my body type, where I'm out on weekends at least 2xs a month and be having rip-roaring, toe-curling orgasms... Continue Reading →
New Year Rung In!
I woke up today in soft flannel pjs and alone in my bed. And it was bliss!! Red and MLM had crashed in another room because they weren't feeling the fun flowing out of the eardrum-bursting music and seizure-inducing lights from the party in our community. I however have lower standards and wanted to experience... Continue Reading →
Moving On…
I've lived in quite a few places. Changed houses, states, countries and a continent in the process. But the longest I'd lived anywhere till date was the first place Red and I bought after we got married. It wasn't that much of a well-thought out decision. We didn't factor in any green space close by,... Continue Reading →
After A Hiatus…
It has been 22 days since I last blogged or even created a draft. I wish there was a reason for this kind of a gap but there isn't anything except for me being unable to gather my thoughts. And now that the thoughts are gathering, it's akin to a storm brewing. So I had... Continue Reading →
Of Deaf Leopards&Animal Scat
I'd overslept this morning and headed out to the gym midday, MLM in tow. Boy! That should have tipped me off exactly what would ensue while driving those measly 4 kms. But by all means, let me wax on and wax off Daniel-San! Sorry, couldn't help the last bit. Watched the original movie after ages and... Continue Reading →
Right As Rain!
A ride in the rains leads to wet clothes and a warm heart!
Guilt-Free Goa
We have our own version of Vegas in India...G-O-A...what happens in Goa stays in Goa and Goa seems to be built for everything you'd do while you're away from home, boundaries, restrictions and the humdrum of the everyday. How else can one explain the most prim and proper of "aunties" who is carrying enough weight... Continue Reading →
All My Pretty Possessions
I love my stuff. I love getting new things. I like discovering how they work, am ecstatic when they work the way they're supposed to and most of all I love how it makes me feel when I use them. My all time favorites have been books and cameras...of course I keep buying knickknacks that... Continue Reading →
