I didn't know about Valentine's Day till I was in elementary school in the US. It didn't mean much once I came back to India. Well it still doesn't mean much because I've only celebrated it about a handful times in my adult life. The husband isn't the roses (red or otherwise)and candy kinda guy.... Continue Reading →
Gym: Where I Meet My Body
Before I started going to the gym, I thought I knew my body. Most of it was bulgy or chunky in places it shouldn't have been but I did not become acquainted with my scapula, soleus, trapezius as much as I thought I would have earlier. They were names in an anatomy book but barring... Continue Reading →
I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud…
Quoth good ole W.W aka William Wordsworth. And so did I...or my mind did instead. It happened at the gym where a lot of stuff has been happening of late. I have an active imagination. I can daydream with the best of them. In glorious HD 1080p. We have moved on from Technicolor! Anyhow, the only... Continue Reading →
Training Right
A good trainer trains well and gets you to meet your goals. The right trainer helps you define and understand your goals better and chalks out the best possible path to reach them. I've been going to a gym for 2 weeks now. And the main thing which struck me about my trainer vis-a-vis any... Continue Reading →
No Guts…No Glory
Another day at the gym and another epiphany.
United We Stand…We Don’t Divide
That's right! In our home division has little role to play. Not because we're excessively cohesive as a family but simply because MLM doesn't like to do division. *rolls eyes heavenward* I've recently realized my folly in asking in why... Continue Reading →
Wash, Rinse, Repeat
My life with MLM of late as been like this- Me@6:15 am: Get up baby, it's time for school. (Gives loads of kisses and tousles the porcupine hair, sticking up everywhere because of static) MLM: answering by snores. Me (shaking him gently): get up (followed up all sorts of oddly named endearments). MLM: IdonwannaIissleepyIwant.....trailing off... Continue Reading →
2-0-1-7
The 3 of us (me, Red&MLM) rang in the new year inside a loud, creaky, semi-uncomfortable airport shuttle bus. But I got to wish my folks, my bestie and also make an SOS call to good friends who came and picked us up from a drop-off point since Hyderabad cabbies decided to be sadistic on... Continue Reading →
The Misery of Mucus
Reblogged from beerandcandlelight.wordpress.com http://wp.me/p4Thir-2I There are two kinds of people (among the many types of two-kinds of people): those who shy away from bodily functions, fluids and whatnot and those who rush to embrace it. I’m not sure why but farts, peeing, pooping, burping, drooling, mucus (from various parts of the body), wet dreams, menstrual flow; it’s all... Continue Reading →
Reblogged: The Hanging
Four years ago I had blogged about this on another blogging platform. Facebook reminds me of many things, usually trivial and mainly goody-goody but this blog post reminded me of something that usually doesn't go down well in my home- the concept of capital punishment. My husband is pro-life to the core and I am pro-choice.... Continue Reading →
