Snippet #47 Naptime Is No Nonsense

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.

Snippet #38 The Game Of Phones

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....

Snippet #37 A Humble Comeback

It's been a while, I know. Given a chance I'd silently cringe away from this ordeal of having to narrate the whole story of why I procrastinated writing all these days. But here I'm, all set to face my readers (though I'm not totally sure if you are still there) despite being obstructed by a...
