2025: The Year of Car Conversations

I muse. Often. And while I was musing over my life-sustaining elixir this morning, I realized that 2025 has really been the year of 'car conversations' for me. For the uninitiated, a 'car conversation' is simply a conversation that you have had while in a car or while someone else is in a car and... Continue Reading →

Blast From the Past

TO is studying psychology in high school. I use the word studying very lightly. The mere thought of studying and revising before exams acts better than a sedative ever could. And while he is reportedly awake, alert and participating in class; he does a very thorough impression of someone suffering from amnesia whenever he's asked... Continue Reading →

Keep Calm And….

It's quite fitting that this particular post is centered around keeping calm and doing something; especially now. There has been turmoil in the world for a while now and it's recently come to our doorstep. Never a good thing even when we are sitting comfortably far away from the where the danger actually lies.

Teacher, Leave Them Kids Alone!

Our lives, even the ones orchestrated and managed by us,... Continue Reading →

This disclaimer is being given because I will be speaking about our family car and how it's gone its merry way, away... Continue Reading →

The Low Down On Having Your Kids

Kids are trouble. If our parents had known that then and unless they were full of the love of humankind our existence would be voided. But this is a more realistic and non-candy floss way of looking at having kids. The making of the kids is probably the best part of the entire deal but... Continue Reading →

A Walk Down Memory Lane

Some of us actively live in the past. How things were, how they happened et al. And that's understandable. There's a comfort in looking back at things which have already occurred. You don't need to worry about them again...they're done. Maybe not dusted but you know how they've played out. It's *not* the unknown. The present... Continue Reading →
