Lost In Translation…Yet Again
At a pre-Diwali party held recently, we had mirth upto our eyeballs and then some. And while it does no good to harp on the difficult year everyone's been through; the enjoyment for me is enhanced because everyone I see on a daily basis is healthy and largely happy. A bunch of us started playing... Continue Reading →
I came across these while searching for something entirely different on Google and thought it would be a bit of a departure from my usual content...

TO just shocked me a few seconds ago when he found a bug crawling around in his room. He picked up my slipper (not his, mine) and said, "Say hello to my little friend!" and squished it into oblivion!! When did he see Scarface and how did he even know this quote?!!
Aftermath of a Movie
We watch one movie as a family every week. We usually do it on Friday nights since it's a good way to bring in the weekend for TO.

My 3 and 1/2 year old niece is adorable and we catch up on and off when time permits. Imagine my delight when I was one of the people she "pretend-talked" to when she got her brand new toy phone! Color me melting with love!
Say What Now?
I landed back in Hyderabad yesterday and as always Red and TO had come to pick me up. It's quite lovely to be met by happy smiling faces especially during these times. TO had made numerous calls to me while I was away and had let me know in great detail where Red hadn't come... Continue Reading →
Not Talking To You!
Red and TO have been acting like annoying prats and I'm stuck playing referee. Yay for me. This morning when TO was looking for his meds he had to take Red's help since Red had kept them somewhere after the last dose. A sulky and solemn-faced child informed me he couldn't ask his father since... Continue Reading →
