Yesterday I took a break from the germs in my house and went to sample the germs in a friend's place instead. And before all the faces get pinched about taking germs lightly, I'd like to point out that these are all known germs and we've been germing it up long enough so that the... Continue Reading →
Nuts To You!
People tend to see shapes in the clouds, some even see things with their eyes closed but I think TO kind of took the cake today. After he got home from school today and was having his snack, he suddenly said 'Mustache'. For a second I thought he meant I needed to schedule an appointment... Continue Reading →
Conversations From The Back Seat
TO' school's set to reopen come next Monday (does a mini jig of joy). I like my kid being at home provided he doesn't get into that mode of where he wants me to generate things for him to do and then proceeds to shoot down each and every one of them just because! Anyhoo,... Continue Reading →

Movie Review: Inside Out
All that glitters is not gold and every animated flick isn't just a kiddy movie. When I made plans for Inside Out I didn't expect to see a movie that was as well fleshed-out, had a lot of important things to convey and loads of nuances. That it's animated is just the icing on the... Continue Reading →
Being Firm…
It's extremely easy to be firm. Till it isn't. You decide you won't let your child indulge in excesses or in things out of turn but somehow it's always easier to do so when work or personal life comes knocking on your door. Sometimes it's SO easy to just rationalize it all out and say,... Continue Reading →
