A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
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 →
I don't always deal well with extended weekends where my kid's a part of the equation and Red isn't around or not going to be around to be a buffer. We, TO and I, get along well for a few hours and then I feel like asking his school principal to keep the school going... Continue Reading →
Whether it was because of my turning a year older recently or me seeing that my child is slowly getting into the big kid phase of his life; I have been nostalgic to the core. It's a very visceral feeling for me. For every parent there can be a near-constant contradiction when you see and... Continue Reading →
I have a MAJOR quirk. I NEED things personalized down to the last detail to feel comfortable in a few things that I dabble in. For eg: the phone I use will need the font, wallpaper and ringtone done 'just right' before it's ready for use. The same applies to my blog. Aesthetics or functionality;... Continue Reading →
My native language is Bangla. Am not entirely proficient in it. I can speak it but the "purists" can usually gauge that I'm not one of them. Apparently it reeks of being an "outsider" aka from outside the hallowed boundaries of West Bengal. I can manage to read and write it but it'd be better... Continue Reading →
The Offspring (TO) had his second brush with the Big Questions- where did all life come from, does God exist et al? The first one was when Red's grandma passed away. Apparently the child who can believe in different categories of dragons, is having trouble believing that a "Supreme Being" created Man. He got off... Continue Reading →
Caffeine is defined as 'an alkaloid compound which is found especially in tea and coffee plants and is a stimulant of the central nervous system.'I, on the other hand, would call it the life-giving and life-sustaining elixir which enables me to tolerate my fellow man, open my eyes in the morning without wishing a piano...

TO has an accent. We're not sure which country it belongs to. It's a relic mishmash of whatever animated programs he's grown up watching. He, however, doesn't know Hindi; a language he loves listening to songs in. His pronunciations are decidedly foreign and poor dear Alexa often has problems deciphering what he wants. The new...
