Paying For It…Literally

Once upon a time there was a world which had movies and t.v shows up to the heavens. It was a lovely world. All (almost) the latest episodes and movies uploaded as soon as they aired and it was FREEEEEEE! There were heroes like Yify who made the world a happy, happy place. This world needed...

Movie Review: Simmba

If there was a movie which could have had 'OTT' as a catch phrase it would be this one. Or it could have the slightly longer but also accurate one of 'The Movie Where Rohit Shetty Didn't Blow A Car Up'. Whatever be the case, Simmba is a movie that is unadulterated entertainment. The kind... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Uri The Surgical Strike

Not only was this my first movie of 2019 it ticked multiple boxes of requirement for my movie-watching pleasure. Having grown up on the kind of war movie fare that comprises of Border, LOC and its ilk, Uri sets a new benchmark in the genre. While it's not as taut as Zero.Dark. Thirty or Hurt Locker,... Continue Reading →

Mucho Loco Motoring

TO loves to dance. He does his own thang and is unabashed about it while at home or in any place he feels comfortable. He's lithe, has expressive eyes (which he widens mainly for more effect) and he loves to twirl, swirl and get his groove on. Any song he likes becomes our party track... Continue Reading →

Money-Grubbing Altruism

It is a theory of mine that depending upon the kind of ride TO is in, his thought process changes accordingly. I had a flat tire today and had to take an auto rickshaw to get around. I think the abundance of the fresh-polluted air got to him and he came up with such gems... Continue Reading →

Lost In Translation #234

That's a random number by the way. It just seems like there's way too many lost in translation situations with TO. Today's was hilarious because of the kind of kneejerk reaction TO gave to the whole misunderstanding. So the boy needs a haircut and as has been the case with the past few haircuts, he's...

Channeling Animals

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 →

Boy Scout Motto Redux

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 →

Harsh Truths

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 →

You Are What You Read…

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,... Continue Reading →
