Random. Structured. Haphazard. All Me.
A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
Makes the whole world freeze! These days at least. For those of us who are moms, the steady output of coughs, sneezes, phlegms is not a bother at all. Seeing how they are usually aimed our way or done by our loving offsprings who would probably have a tissue, a hanky in one hand, have... Continue Reading →
TO's ideas about life and death are shaped quite a bit by the things he sees online. And since he sees more grown- up content these days vis-a-vis Mickey Mouse Club House, Noddy et al, death is portrayed more in the Occidental way than it is the Oriental or Indian way.

I'm a mother...ergo I facepalm. Royally! My child, adorable tailless monkey that he is, is still prone to doing things ass backwards plenty of times.

When life was all about onesies, pouty lips and chubby cheeks and when Netflix wasn't in its current avatar.

After a slightly longer than usual week where TO tested positive and then negative for Covid; we are back to enjoying family time around the dining table. And it feels great! It's lovely hearing him prattle along where I can share those amused side-eye glances with Red instead of the three of us being in... Continue Reading →
