While I've been looking to write more, I found quite a few posts half-baked, half-done, half-started...and those are one I'm going to try and complete unless inspiration leaves me for good. This is one of them- started in 2017 sometime and languishing for three years in the drafts section of this blog. High time it... Continue Reading →
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 →
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.

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.

The Best Laid Plans…

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...

It’s A Hard Knock Life!
Enough with the wiping the drool! It's a good look on me and it's staying! I have experience firsthand with only one child and that's not counting the immature people in my life who refuse to grow up. I have one child. ONE. TO. But he might as well be part of a set of... Continue Reading →
