A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I almost wrote "maketh the man" and then reminded myself of gender neutrality (another pet peeve of mine) and changed it to "person". Anyone following my blog of late would have wondered if they'd landed on the same person's site or not because I've gone slightly berserk with my template changes. And that's the super-duper...

I've written earlier about the advent of Alexa in our lives. Red was in the market for good quality speakers and was considering buying Sonos and then suddenly got his head turned by the cute lil dot that now talks to us in a STRONG American accent and frequently gets our song choices wrong because...

This movie is Prosit Roy's love affair with the older parts of Calcutta, the bits that make it stand apart from every other city in India. It is strangely enough, also an ode to the nail cutter and umbrellas. Never has the humble implement of hand and foot hygiene received so much spotlight neither, for... Continue Reading →
I have no idea why I lapse into the Ye Olde Dayes...I just do. Imagine an imp with a neck ruff a la dear ol' Will sitting on my shoulder, nudging me to shake things up a bit. Anyhoo, I'd had a fever for a bit. Nothing critical but it was on the higher side... Continue Reading →
I've experienced reader's block a few times in my life. Not because the book was boring but because it hurt my head to read it. One was The Heart of Darkness.

What *not* to watch. Unless it's a dare.
I constantly swing back and forth from amusement to annoyance when helping my son with his homework. Especially his language homework. My own language "skills" are middling to not-bad-at-all and my pronunciation of words (especially the word pronunciation) is usually correct. Of course Red did tell me that I'd been pronouncing 'Audi' and 'apropos' wrong... Continue Reading →
I haven't ventured down the path to graphic novels at all. Parted ways with comics after grade school and just the written word was enough to hold my attention without needing the bells and whistles that illustrations provide. However, the senses must be appeased and of late I've wanted to have more visual stimulations while... Continue Reading →
I woke up a sleepy male this morning with a nuzzle, a hug and a kiss and told him I loved him. He replied by saying, "Me too. Can I watch the iPad after I come back from school today?" Be still my beating heart! Such emotion will sweep me away...
