A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Coffee rejuvenates. It brings us back from the dead but there's a (uplifting) magic in a hot cup of tea as well. Picture this- a clear tawny liquid that you can see straight through. Add a healthy squeeze of lemon and some slivers of ginger into the mix and you have a hot, tangy sip... Continue Reading →
It's been a while since we introduced anything new in the eating line-up and frankly I was a little antsy about doing more stuff at home. Nothing strenuous mind you, just little more stuff from the norm. And voila! The idea of making banana fritters came to me. Ridiculously simple, not excessively fattening and a... Continue Reading →
I had another Ah-HA! experience this morning while "attempting" to explain to MLM why something is desirable and why something isn't. People (parenting experts, those whose kids are no longer a pain-in-the-ass and those who are blissfully childless) usually say that it sets a bad example to communicate with a growing child using largely negatives...

Now let me start off by saying that having a son isn't a curse or a non-blessing either. Even if mine does make me long for Valium on most days, he is truly the light, noise...err..sound of my life. But back to why a daughter specially, is a blessing. A friend and ex-colleague of mine... Continue Reading →
Been visiting my folks back in my hometown. It's kind of become an annual trip during the brat's summer holidays. It's part torture and part relaxation but the fun comes and goes. I say that because the concept of fun not only changes from person to person but sometimes even from day-to-day. One day locking yourself... Continue Reading →
No. I'm not high. Yes, I wish I was. And yes, I have a child. Ergo the weird things ending up where they ideally ought not to. Sitting down and finding a clothes pin jammed up in your butt crack is passe. Stepping on Batman and theoretically emasculating him when you get up to pee... Continue Reading →
I have a cook who comes in 6 days a week. We aren't rich or anything but this is how things kind of work out in India. Lots of easily available people for the cooking and cleaning. Frees you up to have a career, just waste your time watching the t.v, do something constructive...anything! But... Continue Reading →
Get up and beat the alarm...not to death but beat it to the finish. Stumble over toys and everything that should not be scattered on the floor. Brush while still a zombie. Use the loo and think Oh God...another day. Struggle into swimsuit and go for a dip. Get into pool and properly wake up. Thank... Continue Reading →
Ever since my kid's been old enough to blink he's had me in the palm of his hand. There was no one more fragile, delicate, beautiful than he. Even now, although far from being a baby, he's still the most beautiful face I've beheld; in my humble opinion. And because he knows his power over... Continue Reading →
After a long while I had a lot of space. A LOT. I mean driving-alone-on-a-fairly-secluded-road-with-not-too-many-people-around or too-far-behind-in the-mirror-kind-of-space. And I just took in the solitude along with the car freshner smell and realized: It is SO important to have some totally, totally, totally alone time; away from social media, people and other living beings barring...
