A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
When I was a child, summer holidays were partly spent at my grandmothers' homes and part of the time was spent in exploring touristy and slightly off-beat destinations in and around wherever my father was posted at the time. Travelling 6-7 hours in 40 degrees plus temperatures (Celsius mind you) without air conditioning in the... Continue Reading →
Somethings are best left the way they are. Jurassic Park should have ended when they left Isla Whatsit with John Hammond. Julianne Moore was a very discordant note in the second sequel. William H.Macy and Tea Leoni were more believable but the real heroes of the movie were the dinosaurs each time around. But they... Continue Reading →
We don't travel as much as Red or I would like. It's our fault actually...didn't get the offspring used to anything but comfort so the mere thought of zipping along for 7 hours or more to get to someplace he can get to in 3, starts the 'are we there yet' litany and am not... Continue Reading →
The offspring has a new love- IPL. He doesn't really get the mechanics of cricket barring people throwing a ball and someone trying to hit it or get out trying. Those are my genes at play so he can't be held responsible. With IPL, the format is perfect for his attention span and it's livelier,... Continue Reading →
I had hoped I'd have enough time and material to write again today. Lo and behold! The universe conspired to bring me a muse in the form of an annoying and kind of naive salesgirl who I've hexed from here to Kingdom come for her utter and complete lack of even a half-assed sales pitch...

Dropping the "i" from the title didn't provide much relief to the Karni Sena am guessing, but it certainly generated more buzz around an already buzzing hive of wasps and hornets. But getting back to the movie- it's epic! In its grandiosity, its conception and sadly, its mediocrity. And yet, it still works. And how!... Continue Reading →
I recently changed my ride from a hatchback to an MUV. When I say recent I mean just a few hours ago. I was picking up the offspring from school and he was happily frolicking in the backseat, bouncing with joy and making crinkly sounds in the plastic covers that I'd not had a chance...

I have a great memory for useless trivia. I have a pretty good memory for remembering everything my husband didn't do but should have. I also have a pretty strong recall for little things with the help of even vague-ish associative cues et al...but getting to the fag end of my 30s, my (declining) memory... Continue Reading →
I am a semi-helicopter mother and not proud of it. Here are some things I've gleaned in the past few years of parenting. I'm not sure how helpful this is but for those contemplating marriage and eventually kids, do read this once. It may give you a different perspective (read abstinence or hardcore contraception) or...

I love technology. It has no boundaries. The scope of it ranges from the little to the humongous. And that's really saying something. I have a sick kid at home who's been using his "I'm sick" status as a Get Out Of Jail card. I've been annoyed, short tempered and most desperately in need of... Continue Reading →
