The blogosphere knows me only as a Chai lover so far. What I didn't tell you was how sometime back in the last decade, the year 2015 to be precise, my profound love for Coffee (or Kaapi, as we fondly call it) steadily turned into a habit and then an addiction. I remember gulping down... Continue Reading →
That we are not much sicker and much madder than we are is due exclusively to that most blessed and blessing of all natural graces, sleep. ~ Aldous Huxley To me, naptime isn't an enforced act of leisure but an indispensable habit of life. In India, or perhaps, specifically in the place I grew up,... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, baby D accidentally peed on the floor while playing. It isn't unusual but instead of giving him the looks or the talks, I expressed a subtle sigh of disappointment and walked towards the balcony to fetch an old cloth meant for cleaning the toddler-made mess. When I turned again, he was standing behind with... Continue Reading →
Every year, Christmas brings with it the spirit of love, kindness and people spread the good vibes through carol songs, winter tales, gifts and greeting cards. We were fortunate enough to enjoy two Christmas events at the husband's workplace in the last two weeks. Audience big and small, together they sang at the top of... Continue Reading →

In the beginning, it was funny seeing him toddle, he moved as if he had an oversized apple between... Continue Reading →
We moved to a bigger room last week. The extra space, to be honest, is too much luxury to handle. The bathroom is aerated which means my chance of being asphyxiated to death while hand-washing the clothes is a big zero. Yay!! As usual, I am traipsing around baby D who hastily climbs up and...

That was the seventh time baby D rejected to swallow a spoonful of food. "Okay. Eat now!", I said, attempting to thrust a ball of rice into baby D's mouth while showing off my mobile phone with the other hand. The cracked screen flashed the YouTube logo exactly a second after I tapped its icon.... Continue Reading →
Vanakkam fellas. Sharing some of my favorites of this week before jetting off to a peaceful Saturday night. Rhyme - One Two Three Four Five.. ...once I caught a fish alive. There it is! The last time I heard this rhyme in TV was a week ago in the Pediatrician's waiting room. My mind is... Continue Reading →
This evening, while unpacking the grocery boxes, I heaved a sigh of relief and muttered, "Few more hours, thank God, the weekend is going to be so over!". Dr.H understandingly nodded back. I guess after having spent nearly four hours fixing the sump he must be too tired to even grouse like I do. The... Continue Reading →
