In the making of the post on my inability to dance or rather fear of dance I learnt that I suffer from 'Chorophobia'. To be truthful, that's hardly a fear.. as compared to my fear of darkness - 'Nyctophobia'. I have known this term ever since I was a child. I don't know what triggered… Continue reading The Dark Night.

The awakening…
Independence is here!!!!! Temporarily. No, maybe not. My head won't let me live in peace. Pass????????? Fail?????????? I think.. I pray... I choose the second finger hoping that's the 'PASS' one! My own fingers. I put down chits. Hundreds of them. Only they don't read 'He loves me'... 'He loves me not'. I use numbers… Continue reading The awakening…
So you think you can dance? No. I don’t.
*I don't dance. I can sing if you'd like!* This is the template I make most use of, probably did even during my growing up phase. When I say 'make use of' I do intend to get your attention to the present tense. I still offer to sing for people but no amount of their… Continue reading So you think you can dance? No. I don’t.
Click, save, FORGET…
Enter Smartphone, Instagram... Exit(Extinct) Camera, Photo-album... It's a Sunday morning. I lazily plop down on the sofa with the newspaper wondering who's divorcing whom today!! However, this Sunday has its mind set on making me blog on a topic that my friends and I often gossip about! 'Click, save, FORGET', an article in the Times… Continue reading Click, save, FORGET…
Iyer born ‘Malayalee’!!!
Off late, several blogs on Iyers, Tambrahms of Matunga or Chembur or wherever, blah blah, are doing the rounds.. none of which I managed to read fully, because I CANNOT feel any connection to them! Hence I find myself writing about 'The Iyer-born Malayalee'. Note: I hate being called Madrasi. I invariably correct people that… Continue reading Iyer born ‘Malayalee’!!!

Or is it just another normal day? For the past one week I have been tearing my hair to come up with an… Continue reading Happy Women’s Day, Month, Year!
English Vinglish!!
My obsession with English! I can't help but write about this topic because I set a new standard of craziness today! I went shopping for baby clothes with my husband. Wait! Spoiler alert: All you 'jumping-to-wrong-conclusion' people out there, please note there is no good news coming your way. Not from me, NO. Can we… Continue reading English Vinglish!!
B for Blog or B for Book??
I look around with great caution.. My ears are on high-alert mode for the sound of footsteps. There is nobody around yet I don't dare to take a risk. With the book open on my lap, pretending to be engrossed in Tax, I quickly begin to type the thoughts that are flowing out of my… Continue reading B for Blog or B for Book??
Citizen of Procrasti’Nation’!!
Procrastination: (one of the longest words in the dictionary. At least in mine!) The first time I read this word, I thought it to be a scary word that I put off checking the meaning until later! Imagine my shock when I learnt that the meaning of Procrastination is nothing but 'the act of putting… Continue reading Citizen of Procrasti’Nation’!!
Magic, Memories and More…
One regret I have with the 'Harry Potter' series is that no amount of wand swishing and flicking will ever transport me to the wizard world. Oh yes, yes! I am the proud owner of a wand! It was a gift from my husband when he visited the Universal Studios at Orlando, back in 2013.… Continue reading Magic, Memories and More…
