Befuddled Parenting Bloglet

So it's the start of winter and an impending cyclone that's dumping water on our city, further making the temperatures drop. But I've only managed to get TO to wear his joggers but no long sleeve tees because apparently legs and hands feel cold separately and independently. Oh mercy...

Woes Is Maid…

This post was started a while back but not sure why it didn't see the light of day till now. Weeell...that was a rather lame attempt at a pun but it's a bitter fact of life amongst the upwardly mobile in urban India these days. It's no longer a case of 'the hand that rocks... Continue Reading →

Coming Back Full Circle

As a parent I find myself doing things which have an echo from my childhood. The things my parents did, decisions they took etc. Just over the past few days I've had a few instances come up which have made me hark back to my (extreme) youth, am still youthful by someone's yardstick so I...

A Trip Down Nostalgia Lane

A year back on this day, I was standing in line to board a flight to Dubai. I would then catch another flight to Barcelona and in a day meet my closest pal in the whole world and do whatever the heck we felt like! I wasn't feeling like a child on the first day... Continue Reading →

A Deserted Hallway

I can't ever pass an empty hallway without thinking of these 2 things: 1) the two creepy sisters from The Shining and 2) about the telescoping effect it has once the picture comes out.

A Brush With S.A.D…Almost

S.A.D often makes people sad and in that regard the acronym is bang on! But Seasonal Affective Disorder isn't something that Indians worry about much; or at all. We being the land of sunshine, sweat and generally good weather for the most part. But bring a cyclonic front into the mix and you have gloom... Continue Reading →
