Today I walked on all fours. In an extremely ungainly manner. Bum in the air, hands flat on the ground doesn't do it for me. And also makes me appreciate the load my feet carry. My trainer occasionally gets his peeps to do various animal-walks. Red's come back all winded doing a duck walk and apparently... Continue Reading →
Harsh Truths
TO learnt a rather tough lesson today- about life, death and how you can't save everyone. A pigeon had laid her eggs behind the AC unit on one of our window parapets. It was sheltered from other birds, the strong winds and still gave enough access to the warmth of the sun. In due time... Continue Reading →
You Are What You Read…
Red reads "interesting" things. He reads fiction, non-fiction and plenty of things that 'thinking' people seek out. Am far more pedestrian and I think I know the answer to that as well...let me just pull up my virtual couch as I hark back to my childhood for the insight. When I was in 5th grade,...

Ta 2018!
I've been lazing in bed all day. A semi-cold grounded me. But as always, laziness plays a far more potent role than I ever give credit to. 2018 was a year of massive highs and lows. Saying goodbye for good isn't ever easy. It's harder still when it's out of the blue and leaves you... Continue Reading →
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 →
Of Mice And Men
TO's school puts together a pretty good show for their annual day. The stage, the lighting, the whole shebang is something I look forward to each year. And it's actually rather superlative given that they have to co-ordinate with kids ranging from kindergartners to 5th graders. This year's extravaganza was their rendition of the Pied...

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 →
Wordsworth Had It Wrong…
The clouds were *not* lonely and he could have done a lot more of the waxing on eloquently about clouds rather than daffodils- which are pretty flowers all said and done. I'm sure I usually drive my co-passengers a bit batty with the clicking sounds from my camera or my mobile, but something comes over me when... Continue Reading →
Musing At The Waiting Lounge
A sip of an insipid tea sparks a flavorful memory
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 →
