I usually end up thinking of a year in a particular manner towards its end. Like 2018 was "The Year Of Road Trips". 2019 now in hind sight, is "The Year It Was All Fine Before Downhill Became The Norm" 2020 was "The Year The Pandemic Hit" and 2021 had been "A Hodgepodge Year" all...

Realizations: Gym Diaries
For all the smart alecky stuff I've written about my gym experiences, one thing stands out sharply in my mind; people have no business not being healthy!! The larger you get from eating unwisely, the flabbier you get from not having adequate activity to stay fit and strong; the longer it takes to get to... Continue Reading →
What I Learnt From My Kid’s School
Courtesy Facebook's memories I get to know about how and what I was thinking not only on a time a specific time in the past but also how I was feeling. And when I wrote this post I was a bit more of an anxious mother, fretting about my kid's school, academic "career" as it were... Continue Reading →

He's not red at all- no communist tendencies lurking here and there neither does he have one red hair. He's been a salt&pepper guy since we met nearly... Continue Reading →
2013 In Retrospect- Part I
December is the default time of the year to retrospect. The regrets start off from the hangover on 1st January itself. But this has been a BIG year for us as a family. A BIG year. Lots of decisions, individual and collective, have shaped up the way our lives will be in the years to... Continue Reading →
If.. (A Confession Of Sorts)
If I knew then what I know now I'd have learnt to swim properly and had a physique I wouldn't mind flaunting. If I knew then what I know now I'd have only beanbags or beanbag chairs instead of proper furniture or just have Japanese-inspired seating arrangements. Sounds cryptic? Read this, this, this and this.... Continue Reading →
