This is going into the category of a bloglet viz it'll be brief. There's a book my husband bought me once the brat started pre-primary...it's called How To Talk So Kids Will Listen And Listen So Kids Will Talk. Since the book did not mention anything about how to talk so husbands will listen and stop leaving... 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 →
The Mine Field That Is My House
Getting to and into bed turns into an obstacle course full of adventure in the dark! So what else is new?
36
Ask a woman if she's easier in her mind about being 36 years old versus being 36 in the waist and you can bet you'll be on the receiving end of the MOST disdainful look which roughly translates to, " Yeah right! AS IF! What kind of question is that anyhow? How DUH ARE you?!"... Continue Reading →
A Tryst With Disenchantment

He celebrated his 5th birthday over the weekend and I found some of the toys brought out during the party had suspicious chunks taken out... Continue Reading →
Philosophical Masturbation
I happened to speak to someone about relationships recently and that got me thinking about...DUH! relationships. The kinds I have with the people in my life. The kinds I see all around me and those I've been a part of vicariously, for whatever oddball reason there maybe. It struck me during my conversation that sometimes... Continue Reading →
Mens Vs. Women: The Eternal Conundrum
OK people, be prepared for an out and out rant today. There's a global phenomenon that men laugh and also mutter oaths about- The Woman Driver. The way this paragon of road (un)worthiness is portrayed you'd think she was a combination of a sloth or a slug who was inching forward in traffic while other... Continue Reading →
