Getting to and into bed turns into an obstacle course full of adventure in the dark! So what else is new?
Out Of The Mouth of Babes
Well...just one babe to be precise. Mine. To be more..preciser(?). This summer holiday has been fun for the brat. He's always very happy with my folks and despite the heavier discipline here than at home, he manages to get away with doing his thing most of the times because we love his buck-toothed, lisping, pug-nosed,...

The Laundry Bugbear
I can totally understand why certain people cross over to the dark side and embrace OCD. Well, given that we're talking of OCD am guessing the embracing is a compelling act, 'cuse the pun, por favor. So laundry...yeah. It's a necessary evil if you want to wear clean clothes and in case you don't have... Continue Reading →
There’s A Great White Under The Bed
It's only 3 inches long but my big toe did come in contact with its great gaping maws...and this isn't the first time there was a "dangerous" animal lurking where it shouldn't have been.

Parenting Facepalms
The last couple of days have been a series of facepalm moments for me. Let me clarify that. It's been a series of facepalm moments as a parent.

Yesterday while waiting for one of the favorite aunties to come down with the kite and string, the threesome were having this serious conversation: G: Hey! Where's... Continue Reading →
5 Days Into 2016
On the 4th day of 2016 my kid went back to schoooool...and a partridge in a pear tree! Not! I couldn't help myself...am still in holiday mode and the 12 days of Christmas is one of my favorite holiday songs along with the Carol of the Bells. But this version of the latter is one...

Me Being Me…
I wouldn't be who I am if I didn't indulge in gripes about my pet peeves. So what if it's at the start of the year? This way am getting some rants and grumbles out of my system so there's less to spew and gnash my teeth about! I have made a couple of decisions.... Continue Reading →
Vacation Diary: Day Two
Towel Art: The Marriott at Kochi really is living up to its name of customer delight. Barring the food and service, they leave you delightful little animals made with towels when they clean your room. Another young man named Pintu, quite like yesterday's Rinse the chef, is the creator of these animals. He has a... Continue Reading →
2015: A Retrospective
2015 is about to come to a close and yet there were times it seemed to drag itself out unendingly! Biggest news from our side is that the brat is now in a big kids' school. He's only in first grade but he seems to be changing perceptibly in front of our eyes. He's learning... Continue Reading →
Random. Structured. Haphazard. All Me.
