Burying The Hatchet

It's inevitable that when people live together, work together, do stuff...again together, there'll be occasions when there is acrimony. Acrimony can get bumped up into enmity or also a severe case of I-don't-recognize-your-existence yada yada yada. But in the whole scenario, the one thing that no one quite figures out how to do is burying... Continue Reading →

Lock’ed’ and Losin’ It!

We had a very robust English literature syllabus while I was in school. Pope, Dylan Thomas, Matthew Arnold, Sassoon, Rupert Brooke et al. I specially remember Pope because just reading the title of his famous long poem 'The Rape Of The Lock', had us all giggling like silly school girls (which we were) and also... Continue Reading →

The Joys of Being Childfree

Now that's not a word that means your kids are at summer camp or has Grandma babysitting while you take off on a holiday. No indeed. Childfree is a proper concept thank you very much and one that's catching more momentum as well. Today there are more people who consciously take the decision to not... Continue Reading →

The Low Down On Having Your Kids

Kids are trouble. If our parents had known that then and unless they were full of the love of humankind our existence would be voided. But this is a more realistic and non-candy floss way of looking at having kids. The making of the kids is probably the best part of the entire deal but... Continue Reading →

Why Should I?

Why should I *have* to like cooking? Why should I worry about calorie intake and the amount of sugar my kids ought to get? We have dentists and I have money ergo...well...figure it out. Why should I be buying the bedsheets and crap all the time? Aren't there any geometric patterned bedsheets and covers to... Continue Reading →

Saying When

I am a daughter of an never-diagnosed, almost-OCD father. And I mean that in semi-jest. Growing up, life was a series of bedspreads which had to be redone because of a semi-wrinkle towards the edge of the bed and the litany of "Perfection is NOT an accident." My mother, God Bless HER!, isn't OCD but... Continue Reading →

A Woman Inspired

First off..this isn't an anti-men blog. It's not anti- anything per se but it's about what A Particular Woman wants. No mouthpiece for the countless women who abound in the world here folks. All about an opinionated woman's opinions. And when there's a first, a second is sure to follow...so like I started out to... Continue Reading →

Feminism- Bete Noire or Not?

A lot of people, including women, have perceived feminists as women who take up the cause of women at large because they have intellect rather than looks or because they think that not having to shave their legs empowers them in some way or the other. The Webster Dictionary defines Feminism as: (a) the belief that... Continue Reading →

In The Dance Of Life…

I often suffer from tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon. My husband would disagree entirely given how often he gets a pained look on his face when I keep gabbing away or how quickly he reminds me that it's really late and I should be FAST ASLEEP already! There are occasions when a particular concept floats into my head... Continue Reading →

The State Of This World

Disclaimer: This blog post is purely my opinion piece rather than any kind of an indictment on any individuals, societies, or beliefs of any kind. While it is backed by inputs I have come across over social media, it is not being cited as any kind of conclusive empirical data. I usually refrain from writing... Continue Reading →
