I can totally understand why certain people cross over to the dark side and embrace OCD. Well, given that we're talking of OCD am guessing the embracing is a compelling act, 'cuse the pun, por favor. So laundry...yeah. It's a necessary evil if you want to wear clean clothes and in case you don't have... Continue Reading →
There’s A Great White Under The Bed
It's only 3 inches long but my big toe did come in contact with its great gaping maws...and this isn't the first time there was a "dangerous" animal lurking where it shouldn't have been. We've had similar incidents earlier also. Want to know what else is going on? Well there's a mini Giant Octopus hiding behind... Continue Reading →
Parenting Facepalms
The last couple of days have been a series of facepalm moments for me. Let me clarify that. It's been a series of facepalm moments as a parent. Kids do silly things, naughty things, dangerous things but there are these moments which are just out and out, facepalm hall of fame ones. The two that... Continue Reading →
Ask And Ye Shall Receive…
an answer, that is. It might not be the one you wanted to hear because let's admit it; we seldom ask questions we don't know or want the answers to. Especially the existential kind. Even with the academic kind, we're hoping that we don't have to be in situations where algebraic equations or doing a... Continue Reading →
Bloglet: From Highs to Lows
It's my personal view point that very few things have the kind of power to reduce us to feeling tiny and insignificant like technology does. Take this particular case...I got my brand new laptop. Tis pretty. It's not black but I let it slide. Lovely big screen, faster RAM and more memory for me to... Continue Reading →

2015 is about to come to a close and yet there were times it seemed to drag itself out unendingly! Biggest news from our side is that the brat is now in a big kids' school. He's only in first grade but he seems to be changing perceptibly in front of our eyes. He's learning... Continue Reading →
A Bloglet: A Mother Realizes…Yet Again
When you're sitting in front of a mini monster with curious and wandering hands, make sure you forgo the quilled earrings. It doesn't take long for little buds to become danglers. Wear in haste and rue in leisure.
Movie Review- Tamasha
I went and saw Tamasha yesterday. And here's why I liked it: Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor work. Totally work. Their chemistry is palpable. Helps that Kapoor isn't an aging Khan and an actual contemporary of the lead actress; playing his own age. Corsica is beautiful. And the fact that they moved away from Capri... Continue Reading →
After School Huffiness
The brat got off the school bus with two holes in the school uniform that hadn't been there when he'd got on the bus in the morning. When I asked him (with a slight frost in my voice) he told me that a "Screaming Death" had made the holes. For the uninitiated, a Screaming Death... Continue Reading →
Lennon Had It Right!
Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. I'm not feeling particularly nostalgic or philosophical today so have no fear that this is one of "those" posts. After a week of particularly fragmented sleep due to a very, very unfortunate incident witnessed, I finally slept good and proper. And it was... Continue Reading →
