Indiblogeshwaris Ki Jai!
When I came back from my first blogger meet, I was blown by the women I met there. Here were so many of my species! They loved to write, discuss, debate, concur and conclude on topics as varied as can be. I totally wanted more of this interaction that stimulated my grey cells. I went…

Child’s Play
I’ve been on a sabbatical and enjoying the holiday season. My 75th post had to be something special and I got that inclination to write today. And you know how it is, when you gotta write, you just gotta write. Wishing all you folks who drop by a fabulous lit up world, both on the inside and the outside. And…

Priceless Value
“How much did you pay for this thing?” I asked my husband incredulously. And when I heard the amount I shook my head indicating my displeasure. “Clearly you have been taken for a ride. Next time ask me before you buy me a present.” My focus was on the PRICE and not the value… “How much are you…

The Non-Conformist
We all have had a back seat driver who loves to shift gears from right there. We sometimes are that person too. More often than not, it is so easy to dictate instructions, share a recipe or give well meaning advice. It is very difficult though to get down and dirty and show someone how…

The S word!
This video pretty much sums my state of mind………….. apologizing don’t come easy to me. At least not the one where I mean it whole heartedly. My point being, if it mattered to you in the first place, you’d make an effort not to screw up. Oh of course, I can say different situations have different permutations and combinations. But…

Scary Movie
Ok, so I am a tad bit behind schedule………blame it on the conjunctivitis that decided to drop in for a visit. So I’m gonna make this a short one and will try and pack a punch or two if possible. By the way, for those of you who noticed……I am out of my rhyme mode. Yes I…

If I ruled the world……….
As much as I tried, I could not get this song by Tears for Fears out of my head while writing this post. And so I thought I share it with you. And then again what if we really could rule the world? What would be the list of Do’s and Don’ts you’d have. This is not the first time I’ve…

She Drives Me Crazy……
You can stop humming the Fine Young Cannibals and read for a change. I swear, I meant to write another post, but you know how life is. Here you are minding your own business, and the next minute it throws you curve balls. Now the fertile mind that I have, a concoction of events takes…

Victoria’s Secret
I was 10 when I first heard about Australia. We performed a puppet show for the school annual day and Kookaburra was the song we sang. I thought it was quite an exotic name for a bird. Yup that’s us and we have older kids as our ‘feet’ sitting behind us 🙂 I grew a…

Dear Lord, are you listening?
Woke up with this wonderful ghazal by Jagjit Singh playing as a background score to my mundane life. One of my ever favourite Ghazal singers, I’ve spent many a childhood days listening to his soulful melodies, along with my dad. This particular song was from his album, ‘A sound affair’ released in 1985. My dad always said, the…
