Reblogged: Marking Territory

Everywhere I look, I sit the offspring's presence prevails. The jar of Gummybears are usually within hand's reach although with the child-proof caps it's still a bit in our control when we want to hand the bears over. There are clothes clips on the futon, tigers and lions (figures) under the sofa cushions and Play... Continue Reading →

Mommyhood: Some Truths

Any mother will eventually admit to this- they love their kids the most when the children are either asleep or doing something that doesn't require them (the moms) to be an active participant all the time. See the thing with kids is this- you are doing things with them, for them, watching them do things... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Gone Girl

I don't get to go out too often and watch movies. But when I do and it turns out to be for a movie like Gone Girl, it is totally worth it. Btw, the link contains the spoiler too, so read it only if you aren't planning to go see the movie. This movie will appeal... Continue Reading →

The Lure Of Online Retail

There is something fantastic about shopping! It's akin to a discovery. No matter what you're buying. I remember on a family trip years ago to Europe, my father was overjoyed on seeing a large, ripe, pumpkin in a supermarket where we'd gone to buy (and become disappointed yet again) water. I guess the pumpkin reminded... Continue Reading →

Partial Year-End Review

2014 has been an interesting year by all accounts. We settled into a new place. I screamed at people who didn't deliver on the specified timelines. A LOT. We've seen the brat learn more and shock/surprise/amuse (take your pick) us to no end! We've caught up with family on important occasions after a long while.... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Heroes of Olympus- The Blood of Olympus

i I prebooked the Kindle edition of way back in February and have been waiting for it ever since. The previous installments of the Heroes of Olympus were pretty great and Riordan had built up the momentum beautifully. It wasn't as gripping as the Percy Jackson series but it was pretty damn captivating none the... Continue Reading →

It’s A Wormy Friday Morning

This morning MLM and his father saved a wiggly worm. It was in a pool of water and unmoving and to me it seemed like a piece of bark but my kid knew different. He wanted to see it move and have it taken out of a potentially watery grave and Red obliged. This is... Continue Reading →

The Perils of Callow Youth

I don't know what has changed me more: growing up didn't do much but becoming a parent sure did. And hearing about what goes on in the world around us on a daily basis is one shocker after another. This post may make me sound over the hill and preachy but it still stands because... Continue Reading →

The Therapy Behind The Retail

I can squeeze every last drop of therapy from retail therapy. Especially the online kind. Here's why it's fairly harmless and here are its benefits (and this is a prime example of Freud's rationalization) : If we really wanted to buy things, we'd go physically instead of cozying up with the laptop or some annoying...

The Sitar Diaries- The Good Stuff

The previous blogs have boiled down to this one- what to play on a sitar. Rather what is usually played. If it so pleases people I suppose they could play Pink Floyd as well but the compositions which have been around for centuries are usually based on something called Swar (the notes Sa Re Ga...
