I started my kid out on digital media way too early in life. And I still regret it. But I absolutely CANNOT deny how wonder it has been for me as a mother and how helpful it is when I need more information, especially for my kid. Today barring the frivolous stuff that he watches...

Weekending The Right Way
A lot of us just imitate potatoes (or any other veggies if you're cutting down on starch) on the weekends. And any doctor worth their salt erm degrees will tell you that some moments of inertia are needed. Whether you use that to contemplate, zone out or catnap; it's all good. But too much of inertia...

What I Learnt From My Kid’s School
Courtesy Facebook's memories I get to know about how and what I was thinking not only on a time a specific time in the past but also how I was feeling. And when I wrote this post I was a bit more of an anxious mother, fretting about my kid's school, academic "career" as it were... Continue Reading →
Let me start by saying that I've usually felt that Salman Khan is akin to a horse's ass. He isn't that good an actor and the only thing I can say in his favor is that at his age, keeping up with that kind of body and dancing like a lunatic takes stamina. So yay...kudos... Continue Reading →
A Little Latin Goes A Long Way
I came across this phrase today and it seemed to encapsulate how the world seems to me of late-HOMO SUM HUMANI A ME NIHIL ALIENUM PUTO. What it means is " I am a human being, so nothing human is strange to me". Over time it has come to be used as a motto advocating respect for people... Continue Reading →
The Mine Field That Is My House
Getting to and into bed turns into an obstacle course full of adventure in the dark! So what else is new?
Out Of The Mouth of Babes
Well...just one babe to be precise. Mine. To be more..preciser(?). This summer holiday has been fun for the brat. He's always very happy with my folks and despite the heavier discipline here than at home, he manages to get away with doing his thing most of the times because we love his buck-toothed, lisping, pug-nosed,...

The Right Way To Kvetch
When faced with a "to kvetch or not to kvetch" kind of a question, do yourself and especially those around you a favor, don't. But since kvetching isn't like Solitaire aka an activity that can be done all by your lonesome, a wee bit of a gander at The Ring Theory of Kvetching prevents you... Continue Reading →
Book Review- Fowl Language
This book speaks for itself. It's non-preachy and basically talks about the incomprehensible, inexplicable turns a person's life takes once they become a parent. From juice boxes to joy, partying to poop and basically the utter, utter delight and nerve-wracking situation that is parenthood. Brian Gordon is someone every parent and non-parent should read (although... Continue Reading →
36
Ask a woman if she's easier in her mind about being 36 years old versus being 36 in the waist and you can bet you'll be on the receiving end of the MOST disdainful look which roughly translates to, " Yeah right! AS IF! What kind of question is that anyhow? How DUH ARE you?!"... Continue Reading →
