This morning started off as most mornings do these days...quietly. Spoke to the bestie who's doing her own lockdown in a different continent and waited for the calm of the morning to be broken once TO got up. And it did. Excuse the segue here but I fail to understand how people can say "bachchey... Continue Reading →
Songs For Social Distancing…
Hey if I could come up with a list of songs which go against social distancing, I can surely find a few which are all about it as well. Let's take a look, shall we? Again, no order or preference to them. Just the ones which popped in my mind- 1. Run Snow Patrol 2.Hit... Continue Reading →
The Non-Social Distancing Playlist
I play music when I head for my bath. And it's usually a shuffled playlist so things stay interesting. In any case, the playlist chose Springsteen's Human Touch and while I love that song, I laughed to myself thinking that it was so, so not right during the time of social distancing and shelter in...

Keeping The Glass Half-Full
Just got to know a little while ago our usual milk vendor won't be supplying milk for some more time to come. And while this isn't a crisis per se, it's inconvenient.

Cabin Fever Blog#1
So tedium is finally settling in. A lack of a sense of urgency is hard to fight against consistently.

A Few Learnings
While it is witty and even pithy to start a blog post with a title like 'Love In The Time Of Corona' as a take off on the famous novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, this is also a time of a bit of reflection even if done intermittently. Full disclosure though- I did not read... Continue Reading →
