A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
If anyone's ever been tasked with getting their kid out of bed on a Monday morning, especially in winter, will know what that kid would look like as a drunk adult. The lurching, the groaning, the guttural sounds coming from their throat, the near vampire-like sensitivity to light...the whole shebang! You have a mini- facsimile... Continue Reading →
I admit, I should be caffeined up before doing anything pertaining to my child on weekday mornings. Actually that's a good rule of thumb to follow all through now that I look back on the last 10 years. Like every kid on a "winter" morning, he was snuggling deeper under the covers and refusing to...

Gaudi and Barcelona are synonymous and even without anyone going too deep into the psyche or temperament of the artist, you can't help but concede, the man had style! A glimpse of his masterpiece Sagrada Familia...
It's a longish title I admit but sometimes you have such a doozy of a week that you just need to get it out of your system and can't be bothered by the aesthetics of formatting or "optimum" title lengths. Apparently blogging tip#1 is that one needs to keep the title 'short and punchy' to... Continue Reading →
My kid rates fairly middling to high on the maintenance scale. As a family am sure we all do. In each others's eyes if nothing else We rate above average on the drama scale too.

The month of August is usually quite festive in this household. Both Red and TO have birthdays. Incidentally both had milestone birthdays this year- their 40th and 10th. Needless to say, the 10th birthday brouhaha was everything that it should be. Between 2 cakes spanning the loves of his life aka cricket and reptilian monsters... Continue Reading →
I got too busy catching up with my folks and forgot to publish this last night. A little girl who's become a part of our family of 3 was paying us a visit this evening. Needless to say with TO turning 10 and his cuteness factors dipping day by day; a chirping and twirling child... Continue Reading →
I have words buzzing around in my head most of the times. Some times they come out as blogs and at other times they come out as stories. They're all stories at the end of the day. Here's one written primarily as a short story. Cheers THE SUMMER OF BROKEN GLASS- A VERY SHORT STORY... Continue Reading →
I crashed by myself last night...was listening to music, sorting out playlists...everything you need head space for and which can't always be done effectively with someone staring at you with googly eyes and asking, "what are you doing?" for the millionth time. I avoided weird bedtime conversations but couldn't avoid them during the next morning... Continue Reading →
