The Seven-Year Blog(itch)

I started blogging on WordPress as a lark. I was test driving it to see how comfortable it might be for the org I was working for back in 2013. We wanted to start off a blog with information relevant for our clients and needed a platform easy enough for multiple people to post content... Continue Reading →

The Death Of A BengalI Actor

I come from proper Bengali stock. I have very Bengali parents. All through my childhood things that Bengalis placed a premium on were laid out as a way of life. Touching feet, calling people as aunts and uncles (without the benefit of any actual relation existing), eating specific types of food, dressing in a particular... Continue Reading →

The Best Laid Plans…

Red and I decided that reducing the amount of time TO spends on digital media is the best thing for him and us...now and long-term.

From The Diary Of A Distractible Kid’s Mother…

TO and I were delving into a new chapter that's just started in Science and it was a slightly bumpy roller coaster ride- for me. 🤢 See, I know the kids' tendency to yawn, stretch and curl up into a ball at the mere thought of homework or academics. 😴😴😴Been there, done that and I...

Dafuq Bloglet#1

TO was working on a music assignment for school where he kept sharing bits and pieces of Western Classical music with me and saying what it felt like for him. Then came the zinger- "Ayu this guy Bitch makes good music!" and he showed me the laptop screen which had this- https://www.youtube.com/embed/KW4ooLi1yxE Luke 23:34!

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 →
