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 visiting my folks during TO's summer break. It's tradition. It's also H-O-T and H-U-M-I-D and we're in one of the two rooms that has aircon ergo limited choices about where I crash at night. Now we have a biggish bed for our use and it comes in handy because I play musical bed-sides atleast... Continue Reading →
I just returned from a trip to the hills of Darjeeling. The one souvenir that I got for myself was a bunch of bags...one inside the other, nestled together. The moment TO saw them he said, "Hey!

This conversation took place just 5 minutes ago: TO storming into my room, "HEY... 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 →
