Yup, you read that one correctly. It's a halfway, half-hearted or even half-assed attempt at living healthy with yours truly. Not because I don't care enough...hang on...I'm not entirely sure I do. Intensely care, that is. But since I drop the ball so often, I have to take a good, hard look at myself and... Continue Reading →
Discussions on life and beyond
TO's ideas about life and death are shaped quite a bit by the things he sees online. And since he sees more grown- up content these days vis-a-vis Mickey Mouse Club House, Noddy et al, death is portrayed more in the Occidental way than it is the Oriental or Indian way. He's seen characters who... Continue Reading →
2020…what’s next?
The easiest answer would be 2021...DUH! But it's become way more than that. The last time there was a brouhaha over a year or its ending was Y2K but that turned out to be a damp squib in comparison. Heads up! This is an image-heavy post... While 2019 ended on an interesting note- first international... Continue Reading →
Befuddled Parenting Bloglet
So it's the start of winter and an impending cyclone that's dumping water on our city, further making the temperatures drop. But I've only managed to get TO to wear his joggers but no long sleeve tees because apparently legs and hands feel cold separately and independently. Oh mercy...
A Brush With S.A.D…Almost
S.A.D often makes people sad and in that regard the acronym is bang on! But Seasonal Affective Disorder isn't something that Indians worry about much; or at all. We being the land of sunshine, sweat and generally good weather for the most part. But bring a cyclonic front into the mix and you have gloom... Continue Reading →
It’s A Hard Knock Life!
Enough with the wiping the drool! It's a good look on me and it's staying! I have experience firsthand with only one child and that's not counting the immature people in my life who refuse to grow up. I have one child. ONE. TO. But he might as well be part of a set of... Continue Reading →
Always Choose An Experience…
For everything else there *is* Mastercard. Or Visa as the case may be. Let's start with a bit of a context for this statement to make sense to those it hasn't. My father's a career banker. He has hopped all over the country before retirement and taken us with him. And while many don't like... Continue Reading →
When Negative Is The New Positive
I think it suffices to say that it has been a wonky year. For me I would push it back a bit more to the trip to Spain which had an unfortunate moment (read about it here) followed by other learnings+incidents that have led up to me sitting on the couch before the alarm goes... Continue Reading →
All Roads Lead To…
Kondapochamma Sagar Reservoir! Read about the place here. Ever since the papers published news of a newly inaugurated reservoir in the outskirts of the city, hordes of Hyderabadis have been heading out with with that target in mind- Kondapochamma Sagar or bust! The roads were a veritable showroom of SUVs and MUVs all the way... Continue Reading →
My Week Till Now…
This week signals one month since TO's school started again...online albeit. And it's been oh so interesting. I feel for the teachers, I really do. While the children have my sympathies since this is hardly the most optimum way of doing things, the teachers have to manage home and hearth plus keep an eye on... Continue Reading →
