A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Good friends not only listen to you when you need to vent, go shopping with you, they also recommend books that make you laugh till you cry and till your offspring is rolling on the floor, clutching his stomach saying "Stop, stop..I'm going to barf if I keep laughing!" Got introduced to this series by... Continue Reading →
We're at Darjeeling with my folks. I'm visiting after more than three decades and it's tantamount to visiting a brand new place. TO is visiting it for the first time and seems to be managing being in chilly temperatures quite well. The place is crowded, loud and full of tourists. It's also full of gorgeous...

Note: This is hardly an original title but extremely apt nonetheless, especially for this particular post. Somehow this post was particularly difficult to write. The words didn't flow the way they usually do and I've made more revisions than I've ever done before, left it cooling on the rack as it were till I decided... Continue Reading →
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 →
