I like dinos. Quite a bit. Have religiously watched all The Land Before Time movies and then the Jurassic Park/World ones and I was *quite*curious to see what they would do to wrap things up in Dominion. They didn't do much. Given that things have to follow patterns set for creature and doomsday movies, one... Continue Reading →
Weird Utterance Bloglet
"You don't want your shark wearing Spandex, baby!"...words I never thought I'd find myself saying. Yikes.
The Nostalgic Post
I wrote about being nostalgic in this morning's post and this is the follow-on one. It doesn't take a Freud to know that ever since my movement have become restricted to all things essentials, I've been dreaming (day and night-kinds) about open roads, travelling...the whole shebang. We had to cancel our annual summer break road... Continue Reading →
Saturday Morning Conversations
I crashed by myself last night...was listening to music, sorting out playlists...everything you need head space for and which can't always be done effectively with someone staring at you with googly eyes and asking, "what are you doing?" for the millionth time. I avoided weird bedtime conversations but couldn't avoid them during the next morning... Continue Reading →
A Chat With My Niece
I recently spent some time with my niece who lives in the US. We see each other when I video chat with her mom and every now and then she chirps in my ear and tells me what she's been up to and then skips away to do her think like little girls do. This... Continue Reading →
Darjeeling Diaries
We're at Darjeeling with my folks. I'm visiting after more than three decades and it's tantamount to visiting a brand new place. TO is visiting it for the first time and seems to be managing being in chilly temperatures quite well. The place is crowded, loud and full of tourists. It's also full of gorgeous...

Summer Holidays…Why Moms Crumble
If you're a mother...chances are that you more than just like your kid. Who could resist them? Imps, scamps and monsters to the core but dammit if they aren't the cutest ones at that! The reason the charm of the summer holidays wear off so quickly...for moms, is that the child is always looking... Continue Reading →
Roadtripping: Part Deux
When I was a child, summer holidays were partly spent at my grandmothers' homes and part of the time was spent in exploring touristy and slightly off-beat destinations in and around wherever my father was posted at the time. Travelling 6-7 hours in 40 degrees plus temperatures (Celsius mind you) without air conditioning in the... Continue Reading →
Roadtripping
We don't travel as much as Red or I would like. It's our fault actually...didn't get the offspring used to anything but comfort so the mere thought of zipping along for 7 hours or more to get to someplace he can get to in 3, starts the 'are we there yet' litany and am not... Continue Reading →
After A Hiatus…
It has been 22 days since I last blogged or even created a draft. I wish there was a reason for this kind of a gap but there isn't anything except for me being unable to gather my thoughts. And now that the thoughts are gathering, it's akin to a storm brewing. So I had... Continue Reading →
