My Gym Adventure

I really don’t know when to shut up. I suffer from the classic foot-in-mouthitis. Kid#1 (keeper/minder/alpha-male/person who thinks he runs the house) was here from Flight school for a couple of months, and I confided in him that I was in awe of J, my female friend, who is also over weight but can squat [...]

Boys and Bugs

It would take me a long long while to list the myriad reasons for being grateful (truly) for having boys turned men in the house. But the main thing is the bugs!!!! They are the in-house bug exterminators. Delhi-NCR has many cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, crickets and what nots. Having two dogs means that the door [...]

Aaaah, it really brings back memories. My brother, a year younger to me, would blackmail me into doing his home work and then bash the shit out of me for coming first in class. I was no sissy either. Being female, there used to be a plot in the revenge I would extract. The funniest [...]

Women and Compliments

What’s with us women? Why do we constantly need morale boosting, I wonder. Whether its a little girl of 7 years, a confident career woman at 30, or a mature woman at 50, we can never hear enough “I am proud of you” “You look beautiful in that” “Thank you for supporting me” “Thank you [...]

An idea ….. What if we could live life backwards?

If only we could!!! Just think!! At present life is like this, we get born, we get toilet trained, learn to walk and talk, go to school. We graduate, get a job, work 40 years, retire, collect pension, grow old, go to an old age home, die. It is becoming increasingly obvious to me that [...]
