A Tangled Yarn of Thoughts Being Unravelled…
A few years ago I was sitting with a bunch of gal pals on a gals' weekend away and we were talking about how our lives are. Essentially the "why" of needing to 'get away from it all'. One of them said (with a sigh) that mornings were quite hectic because: a) the milkman would... Continue Reading →
The Offspring (TO) has been introduced to the world of peer pressure. He has met the "popular" kids, met the jocks, met the goody two-shoes and is trying to fit into the whole ecosystem as we speak...erm type. Being of a slightly more touchy disposition, TO is at times inclined to want to change schools... Continue Reading →
I don't always deal well with extended weekends where my kid's a part of the equation and Red isn't around or not going to be around to be a buffer. We, TO and I, get along well for a few hours and then I feel like asking his school principal to keep the school going... Continue Reading →
My kid has his own way of narrating things. He's big on prepositions and paraphrases to his heart's content and the end results are hilarious to say the least. However, we dare not laugh. Thankfully he doesn't read (or get) my blog so this is my safe place. He was interested in knowing about the... Continue Reading →

Apparently the child who can believe in different categories of dragons, is having trouble believing that a "Supreme Being" created Man. He got off... Continue Reading →
Isn't tough. It gets switched on almost from the time they are born but liking them every single minute of every day, that takes some doing. Imagine seeing this gorgeous sunrise and feeling at peace with the world at large... when suddenly 'Pig gam ba li, de la pig gam ba li ba Pig gam ba... Continue Reading →
TO loves to dance. He does his own thang and is unabashed about it while at home or in any place he feels comfortable. He's lithe, has expressive eyes (which he widens mainly for more effect) and he loves to twirl, swirl and get his groove on. Any song he likes becomes our party track... Continue Reading →
It is a theory of mine that depending upon the kind of ride TO is in, his thought process changes accordingly. I had a flat tire today and had to take an auto rickshaw to get around. I think the abundance of the fresh-polluted air got to him and he came up with such gems... Continue Reading →
Letting your kids win at games may cause tiny faces to erupt into smiles but it doesn't always teach them how to aspire to win. Even worse, they often begin to expect that everyone who plays against them will also lose. When this happy state of affairs doesn't come about too often, the little face... Continue Reading →
