Microblog#1: Perspective

You never know how large your house is or how many things your husband and child possess until you spend the fag end of your day picking up and putting away plastic bottles, towels, eyeglasses, animal figurines and tiny underpants. Also by the same yardstick you never know how long the days are when there's... Continue Reading →

Gravity- The Fiend

Since I blog about most things, why sweep this particular issue under the carpet? Why indeed!  So here goes- I've been trying to find a space for myself (metaphorically) where I can relax and also burn some calories and maybe rid myself of the lard that's been lovingly accumulated over the years. But more than... Continue Reading →

The Universe Strikes Back

If you believe in karma that is. Else you can just believe in bad luck or stoically soldier through life's tough spots. A specific group of people across the world, who are strangers to each other but actually united in their erm..."difficulties" are the parents to preschoolers. I believe they cease to be group members... Continue Reading →

Mens Vs. Women: The Eternal Conundrum

OK people, be prepared for an out and out rant today. There's a global phenomenon that men laugh and also mutter oaths about- The Woman Driver. The way this paragon of road (un)worthiness is portrayed you'd think she was a combination of a sloth or a slug who was inching forward in traffic while other... Continue Reading →

A Letter To My Sleeping Son

The following content has been rated GG (goody-goody and slightly gagworthy). Spoiler alert- expect mother love and nothing else. Dear Monkeyboy, Ever since I saw that little button nose in the sonogram I knew you'd be the cutest person in the whole world. And while you weren't the chubbiest kid ever born, the pearly luster...

Pedicures and Percy Jackson

I've found my happy place and NO it's NOT any place that doesn't feature my kid! It's getting a pedicure in a particular salon that has vibrating chairs that massage your head and back and have rainbow lights in the swirling foot bath where you soak your WEARY treads. Why did they go the extra... Continue Reading →

Eating Your Words

Let me assure you that having to eat your own words is not a culinary experience to aspire to. Nope! Classic cases of eating one's words that I'm pretty sure quite a few adults go through- When I grow up I won't talk to my kids the way my parents talk to me- Reality? We... Continue Reading →

Red

That's how I refer to my husband in digital media- Facebook, blogs, and in my phonebook. I don't know how or why it started but it did. He's not red at all- no communist tendencies lurking here and there neither does he have one red hair. He's been a salt&pepper guy since we met nearly... Continue Reading →
