A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Today I walked on all fours. In an extremely ungainly manner. Bum in the air, hands flat on the ground doesn't do it for me. And also makes me appreciate the load my feet carry. My trainer occasionally gets his peeps to do various animal-walks. Red's come back all winded doing a duck walk and apparently... Continue Reading →
As a parent and especially a mother you need to be prepared for ANYTHING. Over the last 8 years I've got used to stepping on dinos, finding action figures under my butt and the occasion plastic snake in the bath bucket. Each animal does tend to stay in its own "ecosystem" though. For example the... Continue Reading →
TO learnt a rather tough lesson today- about life, death and how you can't save everyone. A pigeon had laid her eggs behind the AC unit on one of our window parapets. It was sheltered from other birds, the strong winds and still gave enough access to the warmth of the sun. In due time... Continue Reading →
Red reads "interesting" things. He reads fiction, non-fiction and plenty of things that 'thinking' people seek out. Am far more pedestrian and I think I know the answer to that as well...let me just pull up my virtual couch as I hark back to my childhood for the insight. When I was in 5th grade,...

I've been lazing in bed all day. A semi-cold grounded me. But as always, laziness plays a far more potent role than I ever give credit to. 2018 was a year of massive highs and lows. Saying goodbye for good isn't ever easy. It's harder still when it's out of the blue and leaves you... Continue Reading →
It's not your usual, run-of-the-mill number is it? 418? But it's been 418 blog posts since that fateful day back in October 2013 when I sat down to test drive WordPress for my work-related blogs and found that it was actually quite fun and easy to blog here. Since then it's seen some periods of... Continue Reading →
In the district of East Godavari, in the state of Andhra Pradesh, lies the smallish village of Uppada. Know for its hand looms, the place was on our itinerary recently as we took in a bit of sight-seeing while exploring the wetlands of Kakinada. Our kids, mine and a friend's, are pure city slickers. Mine... Continue Reading →
TO's school puts together a pretty good show for their annual day. The stage, the lighting, the whole shebang is something I look forward to each year. And it's actually rather superlative given that they have to co-ordinate with kids ranging from kindergartners to 5th graders. This year's extravaganza was their rendition of the Pied...

As a reward for a decent first term report card TO was given the permission to watch The Meg. It's a PG-13 movie for what reason I know not, but ostensibly to ward off screams from kids. That the screams maybe of joy seems to have escaped the censors. Anyhoo, the brat turned into a proper... Continue Reading →
Aquaman is totally worth the money because for the price of one movie, you can view a whole bunch of movies because there's hardly anything that Aquaman hasn't borrowed from. Let's start with Jason Momoa shall we? The fresh faced young man from Baywatch Hawaii morphed into Khal Drogo and then Arthur Curry/Aquaman and made... Continue Reading →
Random. Structured. Haphazard. All Me.
