"After all this time?…Always…"
'The Living Cheese Ball'! I earned this name not for no reason!! My family discovered this obsession ages ago..hence the name. I can eat cheese with just about anything. Rather, I need* cheese with everything! Orders I place at a restaurant invariably have cheese in them. Pav bhaji? With cheese. Garlic bread? With cheese. Dosa?… Continue reading Say ‘CHEESE’ and EAT it! 😀
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.
*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.
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…
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’!!!
To all the women out there, Happy International Women's day!!! What's the agenda for today? A break from your household duties? A holiday at work? A special dinner at your favorite restaurant? 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!
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!!
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??
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’!!
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…
