I sometimes get weird ideas. I say weird because it comes unbidden, without known provocation and might seem really unusual to the readers. But be as that may, it seemed to me that doing a mini post on Latin phrases that I like, am inspired by might make an interesting change and it's definitely something... Continue Reading →
There’s A Dinosaur In My Bra!
No. I'm not high. Yes, I wish I was. And yes, I have a child. Ergo the weird things ending up where they ideally ought not to. Sitting down and finding a clothes pin jammed up in your butt crack is passe. Stepping on Batman and theoretically emasculating him when you get up to pee... Continue Reading →
Reflections On A Sunday…Yet Again
After a long while I had a lot of space. A LOT. I mean driving-alone-on-a-fairly-secluded-road-with-not-too-many-people-around or too-far-behind-in the-mirror-kind-of-space. And I just took in the solitude along with the car freshner smell and realized: It is SO important to have some totally, totally, totally alone time; away from social media, people and other living beings barring...

Reflections On A Sunday Night
I love Hyderabad. It's the only place I've wanted to and been able to, put down roots. I thought I might have wanted to live in a few other places over the years, but this is the place where my wandering finally stopped. Been here over 10 years now and this place is home although...

A Tryst With Disenchantment
I have never had as much exposure to any other language as I have with English. Whether it be the Indian variety or the Queen's. There are words which help capture your moods, your thoughts, the intangibles, the indecipherable and what not! English also lets you coin new terms and that particular term is called...

Reblogged:Playing With The Hand You’re Dealt…
Isn't that what it all boils down to in life? It isn't always celebrating the things that go well or in accordance with our plans or even making our peace with the things that don't. It's finally just existing with what IS. Sometimes we are able to do it gracefully and other times it takes a... Continue Reading →
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 →
Reblogged: Like A Phoenix
A lot of blogs turn out to be a plunge into some deep chasm of thought. It's not. I suddenly get a notion in my head. It often cries for a platform. Some days I can give it one and other days it's shunted onto my list of things-to-do-but-not-now-maybe-later. After a long time I napped... 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 →
Ban The Man?
The latest news about atrocities against women has gained quite a bit of momentum. The incident happened in Hyderabad and in a hostel no less. And that's why the decisions taken by the university management really goaded me to write; since I was a boarder in a hostel when I was at a University. Apparently the... Continue Reading →
