A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
A few years ago I was sitting with a bunch of gal pals on a gals' weekend away and we were talking about how our lives are. Essentially the "why" of needing to 'get away from it all'. One of them said (with a sigh) that mornings were quite hectic because: a) the milkman would... Continue Reading →
TO tells me a lot of stuff but he doesn't always share stuff I want to know about...how he's doing in school, something new on his radar or just things he's thinking about. Now that we're in the vacay mode, he's sharing stuff from his school backpack. His drawing book came out today and he... Continue Reading →
Every now and then I use slangs with TO and often it comes back to me in a very amusing way. He was using selective audition with me today when I was asking him to do a couple of things around the house. I rolled my eyes at him and told him not to be... Continue Reading →
I have an almost-10 year old. He's lazy like his father and me. We aren't the gung ho types who jump to it and proactively clean and get shit done. We get to it when we can't find things and usually at the last minute. Sort of defeats the purpose of being a housewife I... Continue Reading →
Everytime you think you've reached a time and place where you don't have to be a crabby cakes about your kid, they prove you wrong! Of late TO's been climbing into our bed. Resulting in either one of us sleeping on our own somewhere else (bliss) or us getting through the night but with pokes... Continue Reading →
The Offspring (TO) has been introduced to the world of peer pressure. He has met the "popular" kids, met the jocks, met the goody two-shoes and is trying to fit into the whole ecosystem as we speak...erm type. Being of a slightly more touchy disposition, TO is at times inclined to want to change schools... Continue Reading →
I have a slightly off sleeping pattern. I need to time it pretty precisely so I get my required amount of sleep. Too early and I'm up 2-3 hours prior to my usual wake-up time. Too late and I'm rushing through the morning just to catch up with everything that needs to get done by... Continue Reading →
Yet another post that wanted to be heard... I was watching the Godfather last night (cue the music in the background) and thought it was way past the time I did my list of snapworthy movie dialogues. I almost didn't make a list because The Purple Titan caused the snap that was heard around the... Continue Reading →
My father moved around a lot while I was growing up. And it was a good way to live, everything considered. Met new people every few years, or met the same old faces in different cities and towns and had a good time catching up. India of the late 80s was a vastly different place... Continue Reading →
I am currently facing a gargantuan task. I have to sort out the images I have with me on my hard drive. The device is running out of space and I know I'll keep taking more pictures so I have no option but to optimize the usage as soon as possible. So, what's the brouhaha... Continue Reading →
