Realizations Before Dawn
Paraphernalias
People see candles and usually think either Halloween, black-outs or women. They see diffusers (reed and the other kinds) and think of spas, meditation and women. You dim the lights and people go, "Oh yeah, romance" and well, romance with women. And truth be told women *need* these things and there are well-validated reasons behind all these...

Free-Range Vs Helicopter Parenting: Indian Scenario
I am all for being a hands-off parent. I really would like to be able to observe my child, see him grow rather than always be present while he is doing his thing. For someone who has been a SAHM from the first moment, it is quite a treat to be able to see your... Continue Reading →
How To Talk So Kids Will Listen
This is going into the category of a bloglet viz it'll be brief.

What I Learnt From My Kid’s School
Courtesy Facebook's memories I get to know about how and what I was thinking not only on a time a specific time in the past but also how I was feeling. And when I wrote this post I was a bit more of an anxious mother, fretting about my kid's school, academic "career" as it were... Continue Reading →
Under Siege- Always A Good Idea
Most movie reviews start with a title that lets you know that there's a review coming your way. Mine hasn't done that. Tough. Steven Seagal may be bloated and a Putin-loving, firearms-promoting Buddhist but many, many, many years ago he was slightly attractive (to Moi) and was kicking ass in his own minimalistic way. I...
