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 →
Discussions on life and beyond
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. He's seen characters who... Continue Reading →
Motherhood Bloglet
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.

Oh The Humanity!
Parenting is a delight and a joy depending upon which time of day, which season and generally which parent you catch hold of.

And in order to do that, we need to switch off (literally and figuratively) from the stuff we're doing and spend time with him; no matter what. And so we... Continue Reading →
It’s A Hard Knock Life!
Enough with the wiping the drool! It's a good look on me and it's staying! I have experience firsthand with only one child and that's not counting the immature people in my life who refuse to grow up. I have one child. ONE. TO. But he might as well be part of a set of... Continue Reading →
The Throwback Bloglet
When life was all about onesies, pouty lips and chubby cheeks and when Netflix wasn't in its current avatar.
Parenting Chronicles- Part 1,2…Oh Screw It!
I write a LOT about parenting. Usually in states of bewilderment or gripes because while it's a beautiful thing to experience (NOT) it is REPLETE with pitfalls, second-guessing oneself and for me: a usually irresistible urge to flip someone off. What the Bell Curve looks like in my life! I know plenty of people who... Continue Reading →
Breakfast Conversations On A Sunday
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 →
