I run from my kid. It's the truth. After the first hugs and kisses of the morning are done I run and hide; especially during his summer break. He's like a bloodhound. He can always track me down. No matter where I am. SIGH. No loo is secure enough. No pressure cooker whistle is loud … Continue reading The Flip Side To Classical Conditioning…

Book Review: The MEG Series
I love watching creature movies. Not the Creature From The Black Lagoon kinda movie, but creatures like dinosaurs, sharks (Oooh! I love shark movies), crocodiles etc. I draw the line at snakes but that's just good sense! When I saw the trailer for the movie MEG, I did what I usually do...I jumped to Wikipedia … Continue reading Book Review: The MEG Series
Why Life’s Like The Wizard Of Oz
When I woke up with a weight on my chest this morning and realized it was my kid’s heel on my sternum, it led to yet another epiphany. Life’s like The Wizard Of Oz (hold the Wonderful).

Movie Review: Veere Di Wedding
I almost didn't watch this movie. Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor aren't quite the draw for me personally.

Movie Review: Blackmail (2018)
A madcap black comedy that's refreshing amongst the usual Bollywood shtick of songs and dance-that's Blackmail for you. But before I lavish too much praise on it, the movie does suffer towards the end with too-much-a-good-thing syndrome in the form of the same idea being circulated once too many times to keep being interested. Scroll … Continue reading Movie Review: Blackmail (2018)
A Blog A Day- Day 4
The offspring has a new love- IPL. He doesn't really get the mechanics of cricket barring people throwing a ball and someone trying to hit it or get out trying. Those are my genes at play so he can't be held responsible. With IPL, the format is perfect for his attention span and it's livelier, … Continue reading A Blog A Day- Day 4
