When all else fails, get a haircut. Or so sayeth an undiscovered lady philosopher.
The Sporadic Cook Cooks. Finally
I have a cook who comes in 6 days a week. We aren't rich or anything but this is how things kind of work out in India. Lots of easily available people for the cooking and cleaning. Frees you up to have a career, just waste your time watching the t.v, do something constructive...anything! But... Continue Reading →
Movie Review: Home
MLM has summer holidays and it's driving me up the wall. A movie seemed like a good way to get him to climb other walls outside the home. And because it's his summer vacation I'll keep it short. Barring the creation of the Boovs where Jim Parson's Sheldon Cooper-manner of talking, albeit with grammatical errors,... Continue Reading →
Daily Positives
Inspired by @kelzbelzphotography, I too will start a daily positives post. I will start but endeavor to have something positive to post daily. This post is a retrospective one or should it be a retrograde one? Anyhow it'll be a retro something for sure! So here goes: Yesterday I took my brat shopping in the... Continue Reading →
So Here We Are…
One quarter down in 2015 and this is how far we've come or rather this is how much further we have to go... For a blog that was started on a whim and to simply gauge readership on WordPress the images below cause a smallish sense of achievement and quite a bit of "you go... Continue Reading →
The Life Of An Urban Housewife
Get up and beat the alarm...not to death but beat it to the finish. Stumble over toys and everything that should not be scattered on the floor. Brush while still a zombie. Use the loo and think Oh God...another day. Struggle into swimsuit and go for a dip. Get into pool and properly wake up. Thank... Continue Reading →
Parents Vs. Kids…Tis A Losing Battle

Even now, although far from being a baby, he's still the most beautiful face I've beheld; in my humble opinion. And because he knows his power over... Continue Reading →
Reflections On A Sunday…Yet Again
After a long while I had a lot of space. A LOT. I mean driving-alone-on-a-fairly-secluded-road-with-not-too-many-people-around or too-far-behind-in the-mirror-kind-of-space. And I just took in the solitude along with the car freshner smell and realized: It is SO important to have some totally, totally, totally alone time; away from social media, people and other living beings barring...

Mirthful Mondays
Who said Mondays are all about moaning and groaning about the weekend ending? Well..I haven't said it yet. But the day's young and my kid will be back from school in a few hours so I have time to make up my quota of Monday moans. In the interim, here are some funnies that I... Continue Reading →
Movie Reco: The Godfather
My whole family's been under the weather after the offspring got a bug back from school. With long periods of imposed bedrest there's hardly any time before your mind commands you to watch a movie, or 3. Well in my case no movie is ever watchable at a stretch when my kid is around, so...
