Teacher, Leave Them Kids Alone!

I just read this article online. I had to express myself. My first reaction was a knee-jerk and rather annoyed one. However, my second reaction was more controlled and contemplative. My child is neurodivergent. But that's not all that he's about. He's an eye-rolling, shaggy-haired teen. He was the most beeyootiful baby in the whole... Continue Reading →

It’s Only Words…

Everyone grows up with the lingo of their generation; usually ingrained in their youth. It's a mix of slangs, colloquialism and often, as is typical with kids, some amount of neologisms as well. TO and I have been spending quite a bit of time together in the last two months since his summer break started.... Continue Reading →

Exploring AI Art Some More…

After I published yesterday's post, I kind of went down the AI-art rabbit hole. It's addictive like no one's business since it does keep challenging you to come up with more and better inputs for the software to generate an image that meets your directives. Having said that, it's irritatingly and yet interestingly falling short... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Luck

TO has been choosing the movies he wants to watch for a couple of years now and thankfully the ones I've been watching with him have had something as a take away barring the entertainment factor. We watched Luck on Apple TV+ last night and except for a few parts which were a bit hokey... Continue Reading →

Parenting Bloopers#1

I've often mentioned the focus on English language that was given during my education. That I also ended up studying English literature during my undergrads was of no surprise to many. One of the things we've been taught over the years, in appreciation of poetry and prose, is the figures of speech that add that... Continue Reading →

Ultimately…What Is It That Matters?

About a year and a half ago I was waiting at Barcelona airport, all agog for my first exposure to Spain. I was travelling to meet the bestie and this was to be the trip of a lifetime. It was all that and much more! But sitting in 2021 and seeing the things playing out... Continue Reading →

Technophiles R Us

While I've been looking to write more, I found quite a few posts half-baked, half-done, half-started...and those are one I'm going to try and complete unless inspiration leaves me for good. This is one of them- started in 2017 sometime and languishing for three years in the drafts section of this blog. High time it... Continue Reading →

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...

The Road Not Taken

Note: This is hardly an original title but extremely apt nonetheless, especially for this particular post. Somehow this post was particularly difficult to write. The words didn't flow the way they usually do and I've made more revisions than I've ever done before, left it cooling on the rack as it were till I decided... Continue Reading →
