Once upon a time, there was a dino. He was a fierce predator! But he was quite possibly an outlier because he also loved art. He usually rode on the back of a sweaty, puffing, cursing chunky woman and used to insist on the top berth while travelling in a train. He had started his... Continue Reading →
I Get By With A Lil Help From My Apps
I'm a wee bit narcissistic. I like to look good although you couldn't tell that from my perpetual "in sweatpants and loose tshirts" style but I do like to dress up. Even more so, I like to have a clear complexion and a healthy glow that isn't brought on by a cornucopia of make-up. Sadly,... Continue Reading →
The Non-Social Distancing Playlist
I play music when I head for my bath. And it's usually a shuffled playlist so things stay interesting. In any case, the playlist chose Springsteen's Human Touch and while I love that song, I laughed to myself thinking that it was so, so not right during the time of social distancing and shelter in...

A Spa-cial Intervention
Yesterday I took a break from the germs in my house and went to sample the germs in a friend's place instead. And before all the faces get pinched about taking germs lightly, I'd like to point out that these are all known germs and we've been germing it up long enough so that the... Continue Reading →
Pain In The Donkey
One massive problem I face about having kids is that you need to filter, moderate, exercise judgement before speaking. It's not enough that your flesh and blood can get under your skin enough to make you throw a hissy fit at the ripe old age of 40 but they bring out the big guns- obstinance... Continue Reading →
Talks With My Nutty One
TO often asks me trivia questions especially about animals. Today's query was about a bird whose name starts with P and ends with an N and it lives on an island. I initially said penguin and got an eyeroll for my troubles. Actually I led with pigeon because where don't those little poop machines live?... Continue Reading →
Never A Dull Moment
TO is the gift that keeps giving. Sadly, I don't know how to switch it off! I was helping him out with some comprehension sentences when the name Elizabeth came up. He knows Elizabeth mainly in conjunction with the Queen and Buckingham palace and automatically tacked on "The Queen" in front of the name leading... Continue Reading →
Caffeine Bloglet
Am sniffly, have a stuffy nose and my head feels like it's full of rocks. Once I gave TO his afterschool snack, I made myself a cuppa joe and leaned into the cup in DEEEEP appreciation. The brat looked at me contemplatively and asked, " You love coffee more than me and P (Red) don't... Continue Reading →
Sunday Morning Bloglet: Mother&Son
A highly caffeinated and enthusiastic mother greets her only offspring first thing in the morning. Seeing the zombie walk, the groggy look and the utterly gorgeous lashes fan his cheeks she chirps," Oh why are you so beautiful?!!". And the child replies, "Because you made me." "You bet your ass I made you!" "Hey! You... Continue Reading →
Lost In Translation#248
TO had a good time dancing to Shaitaan Ka Saala on New Year's eve but didn't know the name of the song. His Hindi being what it is, half the words just escape him entirely! And when he does utter them, they are so far from where they started out that it's more of a... Continue Reading →
