I'm up. Again. I'll be useless by 11 am unless I have 2 super-duper coffees (one of them black) in the first half of the day. I don't mind waking up ahead of time. I like the near-solitude that the apartment offers. The offspring is sleeping in some odd modernistic dance pose and the husband... Continue Reading →
Paraphernalias
People see candles and usually think either Halloween, black-outs or women. They see diffusers (reed and the other kinds) and think of spas, meditation and women. You dim the lights and people go, "Oh yeah, romance" and well, romance with women. And truth be told women *need* these things and there are well-validated reasons behind all these...

Free-Range Vs Helicopter Parenting: Indian Scenario
I am all for being a hands-off parent. I really would like to be able to observe my child, see him grow rather than always be present while he is doing his thing. For someone who has been a SAHM from the first moment, it is quite a treat to be able to see your... Continue Reading →
Relics of My Childhood
Reliving fun and silliness from my childhood while my kid grows through his...
Weekending The Right Way
A lot of us just imitate potatoes (or any other veggies if you're cutting down on starch) on the weekends.

Out Of The Mouth of Babes
Well...just one babe to be precise. Mine. To be more..preciser(?). This summer holiday has been fun for the brat. He's always very happy with my folks and despite the heavier discipline here than at home, he manages to get away with doing his thing most of the times because we love his buck-toothed, lisping, pug-nosed,...

36
Ask a woman if she's easier in her mind about being 36 years old versus being 36 in the waist and you can bet you'll be on the receiving end of the MOST disdainful look which roughly translates to, " Yeah right! AS IF! What kind of question is that anyhow? How DUH ARE you?!"... Continue Reading →
Parenting Facepalms
The last couple of days have been a series of facepalm moments for me. Let me clarify that. It's been a series of facepalm moments as a parent. Kids do silly things, naughty things, dangerous things but there are these moments which are just out and out, facepalm hall of fame ones. The two that... Continue Reading →
Why I Stay Away From iPhones
A random and sluggist look at Facebook on a Thursday morning led to hilarity of epic proportions for this blogger. Still wiping my tears away.
A Bit Of Smugness
Since I started this blog on a lark in 2013 I've been quite keen to see what kind of digital footfalls I get. Somehow seeing the list of various countries that the visitors come from really interests me and often surprises me as well. But the internet being what it is, I guess nothing should...
