Oh The Humanity!

Parenting is a delight and a joy depending upon which time of day, which season and generally which parent you catch hold of. On some days the WTF moments are so numerous that you really need to take a step back and say to yourself, "Did I knowingly bring forth that child into this world?"... Continue Reading →

Woes Is Maid…

This post was started a while back but not sure why it didn't see the light of day till now. Weeell...that was a rather lame attempt at a pun but it's a bitter fact of life amongst the upwardly mobile in urban India these days. It's no longer a case of 'the hand that rocks... Continue Reading →

The Seven-Year Blog(itch)

I started blogging on WordPress as a lark. I was test driving it to see how comfortable it might be for the org I was working for back in 2013. We wanted to start off a blog with information relevant for our clients and needed a platform easy enough for multiple people to post content... Continue Reading →

The Death Of A BengalI Actor

I come from proper Bengali stock. I have very Bengali parents. All through my childhood things that Bengalis placed a premium on were laid out as a way of life.

A Brush With S.A.D…Almost

Savoring Sundays And The Days Ahead

. Been a while that I wrote anything. I was greedily reading the last installment in The Trials of Apollo. No offense to Rick Riordan but the intensity of the Heroes of Olympus, The Kane Chronicles and the Percy Jackson series is missing...for me. But I read through each and every one of them and...

From The Diary Of A Distractible Kid’s Mother…

TO and I were delving into a new chapter that's just started in Science and it was a slightly bumpy roller coaster ride- for me. 🤢 See, I know the kids' tendency to yawn, stretch and curl up into a ball at the mere thought of homework or academics. 😴😴😴Been there, done that and I...
