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 [...]

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 [...]

There was this young girl, skinny as hell, walking around with a permanent cold (sickly actually), an introvert who preferred reading books to interacting with boys who tried to feel up more endowed girls other social creatures. The girl then discovered food, and started getting comfortable with food and herself …. and more comfortable ……. And more comfortable [...]
