Every now and then I use slangs with TO and often it comes back to me in a very amusing way. He was using selective audition with me today when I was asking him to do a couple of things around the house. I rolled my eyes at him and told him not to be... Continue Reading →
A Bit Of Silver And Grey
In the last couple of years my reading material has been fairly unchanging. It's been the likes of John Sandford (love his work), Carl Hiaasen (cannot get enough of it) and some new authors I came across courtesy the Kindle store. Amongst them Jana DeLeon stood out because while her work wasn't "hardcore literature" it wasn't silly... Continue Reading →
Don’t Have Kids…
but be around them. Children are Nature's balm. They may come across as incomprehensible, demanding, whiny brats who you often fantasize about leaving on someone else's doorstep, but kids have something we end up losing as adults- an ability to laugh at the silliest and simplest of things. Take a little boy who's recently become... Continue Reading →
Of Romance and Fried Eyeballs
Four years ago I wrote this blog post and I'm still laughing about it. Sometimes all the way to the loo because when Red ends up being funny inadvertently, it's bad for my bladder. One of the biggest yarns ever spun in my home is about Red getting a 92 in Hindi many moons ago.... Continue Reading →
Tech-Savvy Woes
I've written earlier about the advent of Alexa in our lives. Red was in the market for good quality speakers and was considering buying Sonos and then suddenly got his head turned by the cute lil dot that now talks to us in a STRONG American accent and frequently gets our song choices wrong because...

Bedhair: A Quick Look
Have you ever had one of those days when you got up, stumbled to the loo, turned on the light and thought,"Dang! My hair looks awesome!" How'd it get like that? No? Well, that's understandable...the likelihood of bed-hair looking good rather than freakish...well the odds are against it. I can categorize my bedhairiness ranging from... Continue Reading →
Of Deaf Leopards&Animal Scat
I'd overslept this morning and headed out to the gym midday, MLM in tow. Boy! That should have tipped me off exactly what would ensue while driving those measly 4 kms. But by all means, let me wax on and wax off Daniel-San! Sorry, couldn't help the last bit. Watched the original movie after ages and... 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 →
7 Degrees of Blondeness
My father sends me a lot of forwards. And when I say a lot I mean a lot. And I used to be the Queen of Forwards once upon a time. But some of his forwards are truly entertaining. Like this one. Read on and chuckle! I particularly LMAO'ed on #6. Enjoy- FIRST DEGREE A... Continue Reading →
The Mumbling Husband
Originally published in- http://fortunatecave.livejournal.com/110328.html Red mumbles. And quite likely, I'm going deaf in one ear. This is how it happened: I was saying something about Mumaith Khan Red said something I heard as thus- She looks like Cromwell. Me: Cromwell? Oliver Cromwell? Eeks!! Red: Cromwell?!! I said kaamwaali!! *walks away shaking his head at me... Continue Reading →
