For every student who dabbled in Psych, Sigmund Freud is a part of the study one couldn't escape. He was the pit in the cherry or any fruit that you had to eat around and eventually spit out. And now I'm doing justice to both my Psych and English Litt backgrounds by using metaphors and... Continue Reading →
Lennon Had It Right!
Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. I'm not feeling particularly nostalgic or philosophical today so have no fear that this is one of "those" posts. After a week of particularly fragmented sleep due to a very, very unfortunate incident witnessed, I finally slept good and proper. And it was... Continue Reading →
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 →

Those that get swept under the rug or get the short shrift aren't necessarily the ones we may not have... Continue Reading →

You convince yourself that you're going through tough times and even if there are some wee silver-lining clouds in the horizon, they don't... Continue Reading →

did they bring it upon themselves?
The Loretto Convent fracas in Lucknow made me irritated beyond words! I felt like taking an axe (not really but it makes me sound pissed off) to both the BJP and the convent authorities.In my Univ days I used to see the 'youth' leaders canvassing about MSU for votes. That they were YEARS ahead of... Continue Reading →
