Any mother will eventually admit to this- they love their kids the most when the children are either asleep or doing something that doesn't require them (the moms) to be an active participant all the time. See the thing with kids is this- you are doing things with them, for them, watching them do things... Continue Reading →
A Pesky Beauty Pimp!
This transcript has been reproduced here to my best recollection and is verbatim. And YES. It did happen. Exactly how it reads. Full points for persistence to the person on the other side of the phone though I'll keep my obesity, skin problems and unwanted hair, thank you very much! Me: Hello. Customer care rep:...

Movie Review: Gone Girl
I don't get to go out too often and watch movies. But when I do and it turns out to be for a movie like Gone Girl, it is totally worth it. Btw, the link contains the spoiler too, so read it only if you aren't planning to go see the movie. This movie will appeal... Continue Reading →
Ban The Man?
The latest news about atrocities against women has gained quite a bit of momentum. The incident happened in Hyderabad and in a hostel no less. And that's why the decisions taken by the university management really goaded me to write; since I was a boarder in a hostel when I was at a University. Apparently the... Continue Reading →
The Lure Of Online Retail
There is something fantastic about shopping! It's akin to a discovery. No matter what you're buying. I remember on a family trip years ago to Europe, my father was overjoyed on seeing a large, ripe, pumpkin in a supermarket where we'd gone to buy (and become disappointed yet again) water. I guess the pumpkin reminded... Continue Reading →
The Apartment Turns A Year Old
We will be completing a year in the new place or in the "new house" as MLM still calls it. He's very clear it isn't 'home' but the new house but I know it's become home for us all. I took the longest to settle in of the three of us. Red and the brat... Continue Reading →
Partial Year-End Review
2014 has been an interesting year by all accounts. We settled into a new place. I screamed at people who didn't deliver on the specified timelines. A LOT. We've seen the brat learn more and shock/surprise/amuse (take your pick) us to no end! We've caught up with family on important occasions after a long while.... Continue Reading →
Book Review: Heroes of Olympus- The Blood of Olympus
i I prebooked the Kindle edition of way back in February and have been waiting for it ever since. The previous installments of the Heroes of Olympus were pretty great and Riordan had built up the momentum beautifully. It wasn't as gripping as the Percy Jackson series but it was pretty damn captivating none the... Continue Reading →
It’s A Wormy Friday Morning
This morning MLM and his father saved a wiggly worm. It was in a pool of water and unmoving and to me it seemed like a piece of bark but my kid knew different. He wanted to see it move and have it taken out of a potentially watery grave and Red obliged. This is... Continue Reading →
The Perils of Callow Youth
I don't know what has changed me more: growing up didn't do much but becoming a parent sure did. And hearing about what goes on in the world around us on a daily basis is one shocker after another. This post may make me sound over the hill and preachy but it still stands because... Continue Reading →
