I eventually got around to watching a movie during the lockdown. Till now I've limited myself to watching series which have episodes so I can take a break in between and not feel like I'm going to miss out on an ongoing thread. I've started watching Modern Family from the beginning and usually watch while... Continue Reading →
The Portal of Peace
There's a portal that exists within our homes. It hides in plain sight but you pass it by without seeing its charms or the wonders it holds. Even if you open it and enter, the true purpose of it is hidden till you become a parent. Because it is only then that the enchantment is... Continue Reading →
Cabin Fever Blog…
Another post that was left midway, most likely due to household chores and my personal Disruptor! Lockdown mornings are wonderful (read between the lines)! Instead of dragging TO out of bed, I now kind of nudge him till he rolls out and then get him to clean out his eye gunk before he gets online... Continue Reading →
Cabin Fever Blog#2
This morning started off as most mornings do these days...quietly. Spoke to the bestie who's doing her own lockdown in a different continent and waited for the calm of the morning to be broken once TO got up. And it did. Excuse the segue here but I fail to understand how people can say "bachchey... Continue Reading →
Songs For Social Distancing…
Hey if I could come up with a list of songs which go against social distancing, I can surely find a few which are all about it as well. Let's take a look, shall we? Again, no order or preference to them. Just the ones which popped in my mind- 1. Run Snow Patrol 2.Hit... Continue Reading →
Keeping The Glass Half-Full
Just got to know a little while ago our usual milk vendor won't be supplying milk for some more time to come. And while this isn't a crisis per se, it's inconvenient. And that in a nutshell is how trying times are for people of a particular socio-economic group. Inconvenient more than actually critical. Unless... Continue Reading →
I Tried…
Dear God in Heaven, Oh! how I tried. I tried to grin and bear it but I just couldn't. I couldn't stand another second of it. The agony. The utter and complete lack of anything remotely humane. It was just too much...I just couldn't watch Sharknado 6. If only Kurtz knew about the Syfy Channel...he'd... Continue Reading →
Cabin Fever Blog#1
So tedium is finally settling in. A lack of a sense of urgency is hard to fight against consistently. Whether it's shoving TO into his school bus or waving Red off at the door, there's a sense of things being time bound. And now, there isn't. For a lot of things I think the part... Continue Reading →
A Spa-cial Intervention
Yesterday I took a break from the germs in my house and went to sample the germs in a friend's place instead. And before all the faces get pinched about taking germs lightly, I'd like to point out that these are all known germs and we've been germing it up long enough so that the... Continue Reading →
A Few Learnings
While it is witty and even pithy to start a blog post with a title like 'Love In The Time Of Corona' as a take off on the famous novel by Gabriel Garcia Marquez, this is also a time of a bit of reflection even if done intermittently. Full disclosure though- I did not read... Continue Reading →
