Indeed there are. There are fine lines too, the ones which aren't demarcated with thick, bold colors-whether actual or virtual and then there are the F-I-N-E lines.

The Wild Kingdom…Right At Home!
I have ALWAYS wanted to go to the Serengeti. Snorkel in the clear blue waters of atolls in Maldives. Scuba dive and even be inside a shark cage and see makos and great whites glide by. I'd probably give up the ghost right there if such an opportunity presented itself, truth be told, but one... Continue Reading →
Unending Home Improvement
I remember watching Bob Vila commercials during my few years in US. And after that Tim Allen's Home Improvement. So my idea of home improvement is something that usually be tackled with wrenches, spackle et al We've experienced hiccups, big and small, in the new house almost right from before we moved in and it's been tough...

FREEDOM!!! A la Braveheart

So I guess most of my readers just know me as a vehement mother, grappling with motherhood, while mothering a force of nature...see! It's... Continue Reading →
Waterloo: Circa 2014
Ordinarily I am a card-carrying agnostic but today I am ready to drop to my knees and give thanks to the Galactic Amoeba if it means that MLM will conk off early and give me a wide berth before he does so. Today has been mind-numbingly exhausting and I have begun to think that I've... Continue Reading →
Rants’R’Us
After all the kicking, screaming, banging pots&pans (all my doing), the offspring falls asleep while on his 5th timeout of the day. There has to be a non-lunatic side to parenting. I've yet to discover it though 😦
Microblog#1: Perspective
You never know how large your house is or how many things your husband and child possess until you spend the fag end of your day picking up and putting away plastic bottles, towels, eyeglasses, animal figurines and tiny underpants. Also by the same yardstick you never know how long the days are when there's... Continue Reading →
