TO's school puts together a pretty good show for their annual day. The stage, the lighting, the whole shebang is something I look forward to each year. And it's actually rather superlative given that they have to co-ordinate with kids ranging from kindergartners to 5th graders. This year's extravaganza was their rendition of the Pied...

With Divine Sanction
I tend to be a wee bit foul-mouthed while driving. And rash people on two-wheelers annoy the crap out of me! They try to squeeze through miniscule spaces a dog would hesitate to pass through, just so they can be first in line or be the first off the starting line with the rest of... Continue Reading →

Don’t Have Kids…
but be around them. Children are Nature's balm. They may come across as incomprehensible, demanding, whiny brats who you often fantasize about leaving on someone else's doorstep, but kids have something we end up losing as adults- an ability to laugh at the silliest and simplest of things.

Of Romance and Fried Eyeballs
Four years ago I wrote this blog post and I'm still laughing about it. Sometimes all the way to the loo because when Red ends up being funny inadvertently, it's bad for my bladder. One of the biggest yarns ever spun in my home is about Red getting a 92 in Hindi many moons ago.... Continue Reading →
A Quick Getaway
Birthdays can be hectic, even without all the trappings of a "proper" birthday party. The Offspring (T.O), who shall not be referred to as MLM anymore, had a relatively no frills birthday this time around and while that didn't translate to no fun; it was still quite low-key. Be as that may, we are currently... Continue Reading →

Red and I completed 9 years in our parenting journey. They have been a lot of things but never dull. We were handed a longish and skinny baby who filled out quickly enough and we couldn't stop nom-noming on his cheeks, his nose and all his little limbs. You have never been digustingly mushy and...
