I started my kid out on digital media way too early in life. And I still regret it. But I absolutely CANNOT deny how wonder it has been for me as a mother and how helpful it is when I need more information, especially for my kid. Today barring the frivolous stuff that he watches...

Weekending The Right Way
A lot of us just imitate potatoes (or any other veggies if you're cutting down on starch) on the weekends. And any doctor worth their salt erm degrees will tell you that some moments of inertia are needed. Whether you use that to contemplate, zone out or catnap; it's all good. But too much of inertia...

A Peek At My Photoblog#2
Deer don't necessarily fascinate me...seen too many of them over the years but the opportunity to photograph them at leisure hasn't always cropped up either. This is how close I got to them this time. And while it isn't as close as I'd wanted it to be, it'll do for now.
A Peek At My Photoblog#1
We took a weekend trip to Tadoba, Maharashtra to see tigers in the wild. That did *not* happen. Spiders however featured largely on the menu.. Take a peek here.

And when I wrote this post I was a bit more of an anxious mother, fretting about my kid's school, academic "career" as it were... Continue Reading →

Under Siege- Always A Good Idea
Most movie reviews start with a title that lets you know that there's a review coming your way. Mine hasn't done that. Tough. Steven Seagal may be bloated and a Putin-loving, firearms-promoting Buddhist but many, many, many years ago he was slightly attractive (to Moi) and was kicking ass in his own minimalistic way. I...

Let me start by saying that I've usually felt that Salman Khan is akin to a horse's ass. He isn't that good an actor and the only thing I can say in his favor is that at his age, keeping up with that kind of body and dancing like a lunatic takes stamina. So yay...kudos... Continue Reading →
A Little Latin Goes A Long Way
I came across this phrase today and it seemed to encapsulate how the world seems to me of late-HOMO SUM HUMANI A ME NIHIL ALIENUM PUTO. What it means is " I am a human being, so nothing human is strange to me". Over time it has come to be used as a motto advocating respect for people... Continue Reading →
The Mine Field That Is My House
Getting to and into bed turns into an obstacle course full of adventure in the dark! So what else is new?
