If you believe in karma that is. Else you can just believe in bad luck or stoically soldier through life's tough spots. A specific group of people across the world, who are strangers to each other but actually united in their erm..."difficulties" are the parents to preschoolers. I believe they cease to be group members... Continue Reading →
Mens Vs. Women: The Eternal Conundrum
OK people, be prepared for an out and out rant today. There's a global phenomenon that men laugh and also mutter oaths about- The Woman Driver. The way this paragon of road (un)worthiness is portrayed you'd think she was a combination of a sloth or a slug who was inching forward in traffic while other... Continue Reading →
Whom To Marry: Sense Vs Sensibility
I came across an article in this morning's Times of India's Sunday section- Did Hermione choose the wrong partner? The article by itself has little to do with being in toto about Harry Potter but more about compatibility and similarities in couples or could-have, should-have, would-have been couples and the choices that they ultimately end...

Shocks On The Way To School
I'll admit it here and possibly have it engraved on a metal plate and hang it somewhere prominently...NO ONE CAN SHOCK ME AS MUCH AS MY CHILD! While I was dropping him to school this morning he suddenly got very excited and shouted out, " LOOK! FUCKS!" I nearly had a WTF moment myself and... Continue Reading →
A Letter To My Sleeping Son
The following content has been rated GG (goody-goody and slightly gagworthy). Spoiler alert- expect mother love and nothing else. Dear Monkeyboy, Ever since I saw that little button nose in the sonogram I knew you'd be the cutest person in the whole world. And while you weren't the chubbiest kid ever born, the pearly luster...

Our Very Own Eeya Eeya O!
I'd written about MLM and his thang. Well that very night Red came home unexpectedly early and both father and son got their farmyard groove on. Here's a glimpse of the barnyard capers-
Mr. Popularity (Temporarily)
MLM has been learning about farming and farm animals at school. While I was picking up some stuff for the house today I came across a very nondescript plastic bag with a bunch of farm animal figurines. Providence! I thought it'd help reinforce some concepts. I bought it for him as an after-school surprise and MY!... Continue Reading →
The Child Wranglers
Last night Red and I were watching Outback Wrangler on t.v last night and thinking how tough they had it out there; herding their cattle, their wild horses and what not. Fast forward to this morning. MLM discovered the swimming pool in our complex that had been unused during the winter months was being used... Continue Reading →
The Bearable Lightness of Being
Red would frown seeing Kundera being quasi-plaigiarised in this manner but I honestly couldn't think of any other title for this blog post. I sometimes get the sense of things being in a separate reality as it were. And while that may have shrinks reaching for a diagnosis of psychosis but there often doesn't seem... Continue Reading →
Pedicures and Percy Jackson
I've found my happy place and NO it's NOT any place that doesn't feature my kid! It's getting a pedicure in a particular salon that has vibrating chairs that massage your head and back and have rainbow lights in the swirling foot bath where you soak your WEARY treads. Why did they go the extra... Continue Reading →
