A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
My father would always point me in the direction of one of our numerous dictionaries whenever I asked him the meaning of any word. And that stuck; looking up the meaning, etymology and whatnot. Ergo Wikipedia and all the wiki pages are like my playground. Can't have too much of it is what my mind... Continue Reading →
I can't be a Gloomy Gus for too long. I either seek out stuff to read or watch that lifts my spirits to some extent if not fully. The lockdown has come at the time when the kids usually splash around in the pool, play out till they've got to be dragged home by their... Continue Reading →
I wrote about being nostalgic in this morning's post and this is the follow-on one. It doesn't take a Freud to know that ever since my movement have become restricted to all things essentials, I've been dreaming (day and night-kinds) about open roads, travelling...the whole shebang. We had to cancel our annual summer break road... Continue Reading →

It's neither too high up, too far down and definitely doable whenever the elevators are out. But the view is something that's been rather remarkable over the years.... Continue Reading →
We're a family with a child. Children like animals. Animals are fun to observe and usually even the smallest of cities will have an animal enclosure for the tourists. So while the idea of animals being caged bothers me, it seems to also be a way to get the kids up close and (im)personal with... Continue Reading →
The obvious lame hijack of the name aside, just lookit! Basic editing has been done to show the places the way I saw them.
Landed in the motherland. Greeted by warm, wet air instead of the arid breezes of the homeland. Before long a storm arose, the lights went out and 3 slightly giddy women of differing ages danced in the rain with lightning crashing almost overhead. Very primal. Drying off by the candlelight where giant shadows danced on... Continue Reading →
