Kangana Ranaut has been in the news for so many things in the recent past that any movie of hers is newsworthy mainly because of the gossip around the actor. Although, IMHO, she's become typecast for her neuroses in the earlier movies; she still manages to deliver a believable performance as person who is psychotic... Continue Reading →
Retroblogging#23
Another one that caught my eye from the days of yore... Right from the time my son was born, I was struck by how delicate he was. I knew babies are vulnerable and helpless but this one seemed to embody those qualities and more. He was a thin baby, weighing just on this side of... Continue Reading →
The Housewife Chronicles
Note: The author knows that women put up with the vagaries of the hoomans they live with whether they are working inside the home or outside of it but it does seem a little tougher to escape said hoomans when you're chiefly inside the home. You either have to buy a ticket to the tropics (minus... Continue Reading →
Ruminations@3 AM
I have a slightly off sleeping pattern. I need to time it pretty precisely so I get my required amount of sleep. Too early and I'm up 2-3 hours prior to my usual wake-up time. Too late and I'm rushing through the morning just to catch up with everything that needs to get done by... Continue Reading →
What Dreams May Come
For every student who dabbled in Psych, Sigmund Freud is a part of the study one couldn't escape. He was the pit in the cherry or any fruit that you had to eat around and eventually spit out. And now I'm doing justice to both my Psych and English Litt backgrounds by using metaphors and... Continue Reading →
Realizations…Bite!
I am currently facing a gargantuan task. I have to sort out the images I have with me on my hard drive. The device is running out of space and I know I'll keep taking more pictures so I have no option but to optimize the usage as soon as possible. So, what's the brouhaha... 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 →
The Magic Of Coffee
Caffeine is defined as 'an alkaloid compound which is found especially in tea and coffee plants and is a stimulant of the central nervous system.'I, on the other hand, would call it the life-giving and life-sustaining elixir which enables me to tolerate my fellow man, open my eyes in the morning without wishing a piano...

Channeling Animals
Today I walked on all fours. In an extremely ungainly manner. Bum in the air, hands flat on the ground doesn't do it for me. And also makes me appreciate the load my feet carry. My trainer occasionally gets his peeps to do various animal-walks. Red's come back all winded doing a duck walk and apparently... Continue Reading →
A Forced Hiatus
I type this out, with the middle finger of my left hand raised and ostensibly flipping off the world at large. But that's not so. I'm not that angsty. Or am I? A few days ago I tried to save a silly glass from toppling over in the wind. The wind was gusty and the... Continue Reading →
