A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I have ALWAYS wanted to go to the Serengeti. Snorkel in the clear blue waters of atolls in Maldives. Scuba dive and even be inside a shark cage and see makos and great whites glide by. I'd probably give up the ghost right there if such an opportunity presented itself, truth be told, but one... Continue Reading →
The moment I woke up this morning, I inevitably beat my alarm to the punch, I was struck by a glorious thought- IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER CAMP!!! MLM's school had closed earlier than the schools in our locality and he's been vegetating at home and I have been sinking deeper into the... Continue Reading →
I recently celebrated another birthday. Firmly ensconced into the 30s now. And having fun actually. Gravity has thrown down the gauntlet and challenged me to an out-and-out war but barring that life is pretty good. The little hiccups of home improvement, a child at home during summer holidays; getting bored but barring that I thought... Continue Reading →
We are enjoying an extended weekend this time around due to a local holiday and it's been fun. With family swimming time (which largely include splashing about and running after MLM to make sure he's got this swimming vest on before jumping into the deep end of the pool), nice long lunches, a rather lazy...

Well most parents who're reading this are going-DUH! But for the uninitiated and those who just "love" kids, here are some telltale signs that a mini-adult inhabits a particular dwelling.

So I guess most of my readers just know me as a vehement mother, grappling with motherhood, while mothering a force of nature...see! It's... Continue Reading →
Ordinarily I am a card-carrying agnostic but today I am ready to drop to my knees and give thanks to the Galactic Amoeba if it means that MLM will conk off early and give me a wide berth before he does so. Today has been mind-numbingly exhausting and I have begun to think that I've... Continue Reading →
After all the kicking, screaming, banging pots&pans (all my doing), the offspring falls asleep while on his 5th timeout of the day. There has to be a non-lunatic side to parenting. I've yet to discover it though 😦
MLM has been harping about pizzas for a few days now. My son, for all this faults, isn't a junk food junkie. He loves chips as do most kids and has the KFC's Popcorn chicken about twice a month. But barring that he's rather negative on the burgers, cheesy nachos et al. But he asked... Continue Reading →
As a parent I find that I am plagued by expectations. Whether or not I mold my behavior accordingly isn't the matter at hand but I find that I am so much more susceptible to having expectations from my child, about my child and basically it's a never-ending story. What started off this particular line... Continue Reading →
