Sexism and Sports Part 2
I don't know about any one else but I am appalled by the recent scandal in Indian Hockey. Apparently coach Kaushik was under the impression that the entire team was his harem and he was at liberty to proposition them, molest them, use them for his pleasure as it suited him. We have been hearing time and again of the sorry state of affairs in national sports - what with players being made to...

What’s Motherhood Like?
This post is one of Blogadda's Spicy Saturday Picks! Thanks Blogadda I wrote this poem when I was barely more than a child myself and I had my first son .... it does not rhyme ..... but I would not change the words for anything in this world Sometimes it’s that back pain Those countless sleepless nights Sometimes its sore nipples And stitches in sensitive places Sometimes its weight gain and...

Moments of Madness
This post has won the Blogadda Moments of Madness Contest The game of life, all creatures play Some are solemn, others to God pray Some live for others, some on others prey Some sigh and weep, others are gay Some stick to the path, others stray For moments of madness, at life I play I am the typical student that looks out of the window in class, and since, for eight whole years,  my class...

If I could be Invisble
This poem was written for the blogadda "Being Invisible" contest If I could turn invisible With a flick of the switch I would stir up trouble And no one could snitch I’d slam doors and turn off lights Open faucets, give folks a fright I’d tease the dog and scare the fish If I was invisible, such a lovely wish Travel the world @ business class, Wouldn’t need tickets and a passport I’d...

A 3rd of July post
Should I do a standard mushy Momma post (which my son you will laugh at) or should I do a Ritu-style post?  Aaargh! Decisions, decisions!!! Every one that comes into your life comes for a reason, a season or a lifetime as the common proverb goes.  And of course we have this age old saying that "Your son is your enemy from a previous life". My maternal grandmother said this just as I was...

Gender Stereotypes : IHM’s tag
IHM comes out with the most interesting tags.  Here is what she says on her blog Have you ever wanted something that is considered ‘manly’ ?

As a kid did you enjoy playing with a bat and a...
