418th

It's not your usual, run-of-the-mill number is it? 418? But it's been 418 blog posts since that fateful day back in October 2013 when I sat down to test drive WordPress for my work-related blogs and found that it was actually quite fun and easy to blog here. Since then it's seen some periods of... Continue Reading →

A Quick Trip To Uppada

In the district of East Godavari, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, lies the smallish village of Uppada. Know for its hand looms, the place was on our itinerary recently as we took in a bit of sight-seeing while exploring the wetlands of Kakinada. Our kids, mine and a friend's, are pure city slickers. Mine... Continue Reading →

Creature Movie Bloglet

As a reward for a decent first term report card TO was given the permission to watch The Meg. It's a PG-13 movie for what reason I know not, but ostensibly to ward off screams from kids. That the screams maybe of joy seems to have escaped the censors. Anyhoo, the brat turned into a proper... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Aquaman

Aquaman is totally worth the money because for the price of one movie, you can view a whole bunch of movies because there's hardly anything that Aquaman hasn't borrowed from. Let's start with Jason Momoa shall we? The fresh faced young man from Baywatch Hawaii morphed into Khal Drogo and then Arthur Curry/Aquaman and made... Continue Reading →

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. Take a little boy who's recently become... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Andhadhun

In a nutshell? This movie is a mad cap caper. Andhadhun translates to Blind Tune or a state of being slapdash and both definitions fit the scenarios perfectly. Led by Ayushmaan Khurana and Tabu in their usual capable ways, the movie starts out strong in the first half but the director ends up dropping the... Continue Reading →

When I Eavesdropped…

My son and his friend were exchanging mucho importante info on their respective tabs when TO realized that his friend was able to unlock his tablet without any help from a grownup. This caused an even more important conversation to take place which I shamelessly listened in on. It went something like this: S:Hey, you... Continue Reading →

Palpitations On A Saturday Morning

In the paraphrased words of Dolly Parton- I stumbled out of bed and tumbled to the kitchen and to pour my self a cup of salvation...and stopped still. There was a small rat on my dining table!! I was still sleepy and did not have my wits about me so I swayed in one place... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Baywatch

Unless you have a few bottles of booze handy OR are supremely bored OR just want to test the waters and see at what point you say 'enough', don't watch this movie. Reasons are given below in no particular order but with a lot of feeling: You will never get back those 116 minutes that... Continue Reading →
