Your What Now?

Yesterday the offspring went back to school after a little over a 2 month break. Part of the back to school celebrations was a movie before the school opened AND a chocolate milkshake at CCD after school opened. I wasn't in favor of milkshakes in this weather (rainy, gloomy at times and full of sniffles... Continue Reading →

Serenity NOW!!

I'm an only child. That was by design. I am used to space. I love space. Not the ones with galaxies and monkeys in the cube (cue theme music from 2001: A Space Odyssey). But spaaaace. I have one child. One husband. That too is by design. Too much of a good thing and your... Continue Reading →

Summer Holidays…Why Moms Crumble

If you're a mother...chances are that you more than just like your kid. Who could resist them? Imps, scamps and monsters to the core but dammit if they aren't the cutest ones at that!   The reason the charm of the summer holidays wear off so quickly...for moms, is that the child is always looking...

Movie Review: Raazi

Meghana Gulzar's making a name for herself in tackling the tough topics people talk about, wonder about but don't always want to dramatize for a Bollywood consumer; their usual diet being movie that have 5 songs, dancing on mountains and always a happy ending. With Raazi she achieves a narrative that doesn't falter, she touches... Continue Reading →

Backseat Diaries

MLM and I went to see Antman&Wasp today. We'd made plans ever since we saw the trailer online but I had some unexpected travel come up and the movie date got pushed back. It's a testament to his affection that he waited to see the movie with me. Of course his father wasn't keen on... Continue Reading →

The Flip Side To Classical Conditioning…

I run from my kid. It's the truth. After the first hugs and kisses of the morning are done I run and hide; especially during his summer break. He's like a bloodhound. He can always track me down. No matter where I am. SIGH. No loo is secure enough. No pressure cooker whistle is loud... Continue Reading →

Book Review: The MEG Series

I love watching creature movies. Not the Creature From The Black Lagoon kinda movie, but creatures like dinosaurs, sharks (Oooh! I love shark movies), crocodiles etc. I draw the line at snakes but that's just good sense! When I saw the trailer for the movie MEG, I did what I usually do...I jumped to Wikipedia...

Why Life’s Like The Wizard Of Oz

When I woke up with a weight on my chest this morning and realized it was my kid’s heel on my sternum, it led to yet another epiphany. Life’s like The Wizard Of Oz (hold the Wonderful). Dealing with kids often morphs us (read me all the way through) into the Wicked Witch of the... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Veere Di Wedding

I almost didn't watch this movie. Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor aren't quite the draw for me personally. Add to it, the reviews had been less than stellar and I didn't want to watch a badly made chick-flick when I could use those 2 hours to sleep or read instead...color me pleasantly surprised! Now this movie... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety

First question? Why did I watch it and 2) Why am I bothering to review it either? Answers: 1) My kid's school still hasn't opened so am just gasping for things that distract me and we're both (mother and son) tripping on Bom Diggy Diggy  song from the movie so why not? 2) I just...
