Out Of The Mouth of Babes

Well...just one babe to be precise. Mine. To be more..preciser(?). This summer holiday has been fun for the brat. He's always very happy with my folks and despite the heavier discipline here than at home, he manages to get away with doing his thing most of the times because we love his buck-toothed, lisping, pug-nosed,...

Movie Review-Captain America: Civil War

It's been AGES since I saw a movie on the same day it released. Probably not since 04 but then that's too far into the past for me to dredge up the when and wherefores. I generally enjoy the offerings from the Marvel universe. Captain America is the typical boy scout but he's easy on... Continue Reading →

The Right Way To Kvetch

When faced with a "to kvetch or not to kvetch" kind of a question, do yourself and especially those around you a favor, don't. But since kvetching isn't like Solitaire aka an activity that can be done all by your lonesome, a wee bit of a gander at The Ring Theory of Kvetching prevents you... Continue Reading →

Book Review- Fowl Language

This book speaks for itself. It's non-preachy and basically talks about the incomprehensible, inexplicable turns a person's life takes once they become a parent. From juice boxes to joy, partying to poop and basically the utter, utter delight and nerve-wracking situation that is parenthood. Brian Gordon is someone every parent and non-parent should read (although... Continue Reading →

36

Ask a woman if she's easier in her mind about being 36 years old versus being 36 in the waist and you can bet you'll be on the receiving end of the MOST disdainful look which roughly translates to, " Yeah right! AS IF! What kind of question is that anyhow? How DUH ARE you?!"... Continue Reading →

Oh The Bleeding Hearts…

Various dictionaries define the term "bleeding hearts" in almost the same terms but I like the Merriam Websters version the best viz: a person who shows extravagant sympathy especially for an object of alleged persecution. I have NO clue how Sea World functions. I'm not meant to. I'm meant to go there, buy overpriced tickets, even... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Ghachar Ghochar

It's been a long time since I've done a book review. Better late than never, especially for a book like Ghachar Ghochar.   A friend and fellow reading afficiando who also wears other interesting hats was cleaning house and put up a give-away of her beloved books. Red lucked upon this particular one and the result... Continue Reading →

The Laundry Bugbear

I can totally understand why certain people cross over to the dark side and embrace OCD. Well, given that we're talking of OCD am guessing the embracing is a compelling act, 'cuse the pun, por favor. So laundry...yeah. It's a necessary evil if you want to wear clean clothes and in case you don't have... Continue Reading →

There’s A Great White Under The Bed

It's only 3 inches long but my big toe did come in contact with its great gaping maws...and this isn't the first time there was a "dangerous" animal lurking where it shouldn't have been. We've had similar incidents earlier also. Want to know what else is going on? Well there's a mini Giant Octopus hiding behind... Continue Reading →
