Random. Structured. Haphazard. All Me.
A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
I've often mentioned the focus on English language that was given during my education. That I also ended up studying English literature during my undergrads was of no surprise to many. One of the things we've been taught over the years, in appreciation of poetry and prose, is the figures of speech that add that... Continue Reading →
We watch one movie as a family every week. We usually do it on Friday nights since it's a good way to bring in the weekend for TO. And since it's usually a family movie, we all end up being either parts of "awwww" or "siggghhhs" or just have lots of laugh-out-loud moments. With TO... Continue Reading →
TO turned 12 recently and barring the beginnings of a slight sprinkling of hair on his upper lip, am seeing very few signs of him growing up per se. There are plusses and minuses to this as can be expected. Let's tackle the minuses first so I can get them out of my system; for... Continue Reading →
TO and Red have their little skirmishes from time to time. It mainly arises from TO growing into his teenhood and Red being the perennial good cop who realises that he can also be the bad cop from time to time instead of punting it to me.

I landed back in Hyderabad yesterday and as always Red and TO had come to pick me up. It's quite lovely to be met by happy smiling faces especially during these times. TO had made numerous calls to me while I was away and had let me know in great detail where Red hadn't come... Continue Reading →
It's one of those days when your kid snuggles up to you saying, "No Marshmallow, don't go...I want to sleep for some more time". You love this kid but if he calls you Marshmallow one more time...#%$&!£!#*
Being a stay at home mom is a different kettle of fish. If kettles full of fish aren't your thing, feel free to put in a vegetarian or a vegan option if that rings your bell. I am, for the most part, a Stay At Home Mom. It was a decision that I made pretty... Continue Reading →
We are a one-child family. I come from a single-child family while Red has a sibling. My dad has numerous siblings and my mom has two. I've gotten pitying looks on and off while I was growing up, about being a "single, only, lonely" child. And I've smiled to myself because that's not all that... Continue Reading →
