I have been waiting to see this movie since i got to know it was in the pipeline. And it hasn't been that long a wait. I had actually despaired thinking that if it gets released in the 3D format then I would need a babysitter (no luck getting one till date) or go see... Continue Reading →
Silly Little Milestones
Am sure other parents do this as well, whether they announce it out loud or not...I remember all of MLM's milestones...maybe not the date but the age he was when he did particular things. Today he achieved another milestone which doesn't appear in any doctor's chart but pretty much everyone around him seems to have... Continue Reading →
Escape Into Fantasy- A Parenting Placebo
Every now and then I like to pretend. That things in my home are nearly picture perfect. When I sit down on the couch, or a chair I'm not likely to sit on a clothes pin that will jab me in the gluteus maximus. That I will have my coffee in peace, at length and... Continue Reading →
Things Fall Apart Circa 2014
We read Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart as a foil to The Heart Of Darkness in college. But the name of Achebe's novel has become highly prophetic especially as a testimony to the times we live in.

As parents, we often forget that while there are milestones that a majority of the kids attain at relatively the same time, there are outliers here as well. Some children reach... Continue Reading →
NOW We’re All Moved In
I found a house lizard a few minutes ago. Seven months and all my hopes of having a lizard-free house go down the drain. Aren't lizards even prone to vertigo? Am on the seventh floor for cryin' out loud! But on the bright side we got to see a hot air balloon being blown up... Continue Reading →
Shutter Happy#4
Once upon a time. A slightly borderline woman bought a nice camera. And promptly crossed the border. Here are things her eyes viewed.
I Draw A Cartoon
One day, a few weeks ago, I sat and watched my bored son grimace, whine, beg, roll over, stomp, tear and rush his way to getting some fun during his summer holidays. While I watched him I drew the picture. While it's just a whacky picture by the standards of those who draw, by my... Continue Reading →
A Lazy Housewife’s Guide to Meals#1
I am QUITE lazy. I love non-elaborate things and don't like to make a song and dance about anything. I like my food to be flavorful and fast to cook. Am sharing a recipe for a chicken dish which can be used in wraps, with bread, rice or just hogged on cold. It's not the... Continue Reading →
