We moved into this new place less than a month ago and already the kind of things which are coming to light are enough to make my head reel. This place was intended to be an upgrade in terms of amenities and also to enable us to socialize more, get to know our neighbors and... Continue Reading →
The Make-over Malarkey
I recently decided to go the Groupon way and the first (and only purchase) I made was for salon services. It was very convenient to purchase and I finally got the opportunity to avail it today. Truth be told it HAD to be today since it was going to expire tomorrow but yeah..that's how we... Continue Reading →
Time Management
Most moms get this advice from others, "when your baby sleeps, you should sleep too!" . Now that's sound advice but one that moms seldom follow. Or can afford to follow actually. Usually there's so much to be done for an infant and toddler that you can't simply go to sleep even when you are... Continue Reading →

But with gravity having more influence on the body day by day I decided... Continue Reading →

Residue
People often talk so dismissively of residues. It's what's left behind afterall when all the better, more worthwhile stuff has been availed or done with. But residues are important too because they are the only glimpse into what transpired long after something has ceased to be. I am terribly maudlin today. I'm sitting in my... Continue Reading →
I Know Tedaktal
Doesn't make any sense at all? Well this is such a spelling that even a spell check might not help. So lemme reveal the actual word behind the mangled one- Pterodactyl. Whoo! that's a doozy isn't it? Given that it's not even spelt the way it's pronounced. Anyhoo MLM's learning about dinosaurs at school and... Continue Reading →
