Said the giant before Jack whooped his bottom and took away his essence of being a giant altogether! Ok...how does that make any sense you ask? I'll tell you...just let me spin out my tale a bit more... Parenting. Glorious parenting. Tis fun. Tis joyous. Brings tears to your eyes at times (for many reasons,... Continue Reading →

Another take on parenting...a funky one at that.
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 →
A Pesky Beauty Pimp!
This transcript has been reproduced here to my best recollection and is verbatim. And YES. It did happen. Exactly how it reads. Full points for persistence to the person on the other side of the phone though I'll keep my obesity, skin problems and unwanted hair, thank you very much! Me: Hello. Customer care rep:...

Movie Review: Gone Girl
I don't get to go out too often and watch movies. But when I do and it turns out to be for a movie like Gone Girl, it is totally worth it. Btw, the link contains the spoiler too, so read it only if you aren't planning to go see the movie. This movie will appeal... Continue Reading →

We've seen the brat learn more and shock/surprise/amuse (take your pick) us to no end! We've caught up with family on important occasions after a long while.... Continue Reading →
The Perils of Callow Youth
I don't know what has changed me more: growing up didn't do much but becoming a parent sure did. And hearing about what goes on in the world around us on a daily basis is one shocker after another. This post may make me sound over the hill and preachy but it still stands because... Continue Reading →
My Son: The Superhero Decapitator
I'd caught up with a friend for a belated celebration of her birthday at a kiddy place house-cum cafe. She's specifically kept it in a child-friendly place so the moms would be able to take their eyes off their offspring and just kick back and relax. Erm...yeah. Sure. Why not? It wasn't a complete disaster... Continue Reading →
