Reblogged: Marking Territory

Everywhere I look, I sit the offspring's presence prevails. The jar of Gummybears are usually within hand's reach although with the child-proof caps it's still a bit in our control when we want to hand the bears over. There are clothes clips on the futon, tigers and lions (figures) under the sofa cushions and Play... Continue Reading →

Halves&Wholes

People often introduce their spouses as their better halves. Or bitter depending on what time of the day you run into them or during which pet peeve they seem to be exercising; but the fact of the matter is that you do feel like something's missing when someone in your family or your everyday existence...

FREEDOM!!! A la Braveheart

The moment I woke up this morning, I inevitably beat my alarm to the punch, I was struck by a glorious thought- IT WAS THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER CAMP!!! MLM's school had closed earlier than the schools in our locality and he's been vegetating at home and I have been sinking deeper into the... Continue Reading →

A Few More Candles On The Birthday Cake

I recently celebrated another birthday. Firmly ensconced into the 30s now. And having fun actually. Gravity has thrown down the gauntlet and challenged me to an out-and-out war but barring that life is pretty good. The little hiccups of home improvement, a child at home during summer holidays; getting bored but barring that I thought... Continue Reading →

Whom To Marry: Sense Vs Sensibility

I came across an article in this morning's Times of India's Sunday section- Did Hermione choose the wrong partner?

Our Very Own Eeya Eeya O!

I'd written about MLM and his thang. Well that very night Red came home unexpectedly early and both father and son got their farmyard groove on. Here's a glimpse of the barnyard capers-

The Bearable Lightness of Being

Red would frown seeing Kundera being quasi-plaigiarised in this manner but I honestly couldn't think of any other title for this blog post. I sometimes get the sense of things being in a separate reality as it were. And while that may have shrinks reaching for a diagnosis of psychosis but there often doesn't seem... Continue Reading →

Pedicures and Percy Jackson

I've found my happy place and NO it's NOT any place that doesn't feature my kid! It's getting a pedicure in a particular salon that has vibrating chairs that massage your head and back and have rainbow lights in the swirling foot bath where you soak your WEARY treads. Why did they go the extra... Continue Reading →

Happiness Factors in 2013

The biggest source of joy for both Red and I in 2013 was MLM's glee about his new school and newly discovered enthusiasm towards learning. Of course the child still has the attention span of a fly and looks at everything from the angle of fun but you're a preschooler only once; thank goodness! But there... Continue Reading →
