You know what?  When kids grow up, they become adults.  And when boys grow up – they become self absorbed, insensitive, taciturn MEN (If I could I would enter sad doleful veena music here or even Paul McCartney’s While My Guitar Gently Weeps) To keep the argument balanced I will add this You know what?

What Ginger Chai has given me is priceless … its given me friends in the blogging world, people one interacts closely with every time there is a team submission. The blogging world is young, its vibrant and fun filled. Of course there are ancient relics like me 18 till I die types like me, and [...]

I watched this delightful Meg Ryan movie If you’ve seen it, you’ll understand what comes next …….. Kid#1 and his wife were out shopping in Delhi.  Kid#2 was watching the movie with me.  I was laughing my guts out at the son, a serious FBI officer who comes home to find that the obese matron [...]

This is the first post I am doing after my sons met with an accident that could have been nasty. I or rather “We” are overwhelmed by the outpouring of concern from the blog world. Thanks a lot people for all the love and concern …. I have told the boys they did not earn [...]

I am a gizmo freak and well if the gizmo keeps me logged on to the net all the time, even when there are horrendous power cuts, it is just the thing for me.  For years (actually ever since I got to know about this darling thing) I have been longing for an Iphone. Sigh! [...]

Humarey Zamaaney Mein : Part One Spare the Rod, Spoil the Child Aaj Kal [...]

I am very ambivalent about karva chowth and I wrote a post last year stating my reasons which readers found hilarious.  Well I am like that anyways …. My kids want to celebrate each and every festival with gusto, even the all female ones like karva chowth. I would doll up, do the mehendi, new dress [...]

My elder son has gone and I already feel the absence! Yeah I know he’s just a phone call away …..   I also know that I have told him in all sorts of ways that he can leave and settle down anyplace in the world and its okay with me!  In fact I have told [...]

For the past almost two years Kid#1 has been one foot in Philllipines and one foot in home sweet home.  To me who has not been out of town for years on end it sounds exciting. To him who hates Phillipino food, it sucks bigg time.  Apparently they add sugar to all the food.  Every [...]
