A lot of people, including women, have perceived feminists as women who take up the cause of women at large because they have intellect rather than looks or because they think that not having to shave their legs empowers them in some way or the other. The Webster Dictionary defines Feminism as: (a) the belief that... Continue Reading →
A Quick Preface…
Over the next few days I'll be integrating the blog posts from a different voice I adopted a while back. It had its share of no-holds barred kind of posts, feelings and thoughts and for a while it was good to have a sounding board of sorts. But even if it was a different kind... Continue Reading →
Ever Notice…
how you always eat more when you're on a holiday? Carbs and protein are attacked with the gusto of being long-lost sibs. And once you're back home, you can't wait to be rid of them...like an inconvenient zit or a house guest who's overstayed their welcome? How you can sleep longer on the days you... Continue Reading →
New Year Rung In!
I woke up today in soft flannel pjs and alone in my bed. And it was bliss!! Red and MLM had crashed in another room because they weren't feeling the fun flowing out of the eardrum-bursting music and seizure-inducing lights from the party in our community. I however have lower standards and wanted to experience... Continue Reading →
In The Dance Of Life…
I often suffer from tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon. My husband would disagree entirely given how often he gets a pained look on his face when I keep gabbing away or how quickly he reminds me that it's really late and I should be FAST ASLEEP already! There are occasions when a particular concept floats into my head... Continue Reading →
Loose Lips…
Yesterday while running an errand I got blocked into a narrow lane by an imbecilic cabbie who had parked bang in the middle of the road with no thought for anyone else. Apparently when you have to take a whizz everything comes a poor second. So there I was, getting more annoyed by the minute... Continue Reading →
Kids: Boon Vs Bane
The jury is still out on that one. On one hand you can remember them as the cutest, cuddliest, chubbiest drooly monsters that walked around with a diaper-covered bum. And on the other hand you wish you could sedate them or keep them in suspended animation when they're getting their best and most annoying bratty... Continue Reading →
Moving On…
I've lived in quite a few places. Changed houses, states, countries and a continent in the process. But the longest I'd lived anywhere till date was the first place Red and I bought after we got married. It wasn't that much of a well-thought out decision. We didn't factor in any green space close by,... Continue Reading →
The 80s&90s
Those were some fun decades...especially in the way movies were made. This last week I watched some movies I had DVRd and utterly enjoyed the blast of nostalgia! I started with Die Hard...a movie you can never go wrong with. Whether you're burping a baby, fighting with a spouse, feeling angst or anything else this... Continue Reading →
Ode To My Oddballs
My family is a bit kooky. And in that we're perfectly normal I suppose. Since I don't have a "fly-on-the-wall" access to my friends and neighbors' homes, am assuming that their kookiness can rival and often outdo mine. Those who are painfully normal, I don't know what to say...you are clearly the minority amongst us.... Continue Reading →
