Bahubali 2, A Bad Youtube Video and Saturday Morning Gyan

So I watched Bahubali 2. No this post is not a movie review. That doesn’t need a whole post, I review movies in two lines. Bahubali 2 was a total nonsense of a story but yet, Oh-so-much-fun to watch, and I would love to watch it again, just for Prabhas, even if the story makes…

I Hang On

Taking Back Control I’m still writing. Writing every day. And I’m doing pretty well. Clients sure are happy. Only me, not so much. Because writing for money and writing for joy are such different things. Writing for joy should be easier by analogy though. Why then have I just not been able to do it?…

Ha HA. This is incredible. You know i wrote that little excerpt titled begin again almost 6 months ago…left it in the drafts…posted it on a whim a few days ago. didnt begin again then, didnt begin again now. this is becoming impossible to deal with. have i lost it. can i write no more?…

Begin Again

That was one good movie, Begin Again. Yep, Kiera Knightly and Mark Ruffalo, cute one. What am I saying? Well, saying something, anything. I have to write, I want to write, I need to write. Even if it doesn’t make any sense, even to me. I just gotta push a few buttons on this keyboard…

When I Got Schooled By a Not-Quite Preschooler

My son’s first day of pre-school was the 1st of May 2015. Five months later, the 1st of September 2015 was still just his fifth day! Yep, he just won’t go to school. The first day we proposed to take him to pre-school, he was more than excited. He had been excited the whole week…

To All the ‘Fat’ Mommies Out There

The first thing I thought about after giving birth to my first baby was that I will now get back in shape. Okay well yes, the first thing I thought after a bloody twelve hour labor was that I’m never doing ‘this’ again. But losing weight and getting in shape came a close second. (Yes…

Do Not Blame Yourself for a Miscarriage

A miscarriage is a tragedy. An absolute crushing tragedy. Yet, its completely a medical, sometimes genetic issue and never ever in any way a mother’s fault. All women who have ever suffered a miscarriage must stop blaming themselves about it.

When Sorry Seems to be the Easiest Word

Teach your kids the importance of saying sorry, and watch them try to get away with murder! I’m trying to teach my sons to be gentlemen. To accept their mistakes and apologize. To say sorry. Tough to teach a boy that you say? No my friend. It’s easy. A little too easy! Seriously. Now my…

5 Things I’d Rather Watch on TV

I love watching TV. Who doesn’t? But the plight of Indian television today is beyond wretched. All, and I’m not exaggerating, all we see everywhere, is the saas-bahu shows. And these disgraceful shows with their deplorable story lines, below average actors, poor, no wait, utter absence of direction and really tacky background music (which occupies…

Monday Mommy Blues

Motherhood is truly rewarding, yes. But heck, its devilishly tiring! My elder one is 3 and my younger one just turned 1. And though there isn’t that much crying, screaming, bawling and falling now, there’s still one very important thing I just cant do. Anything! Before anything else, lets scroll through a little checklist. Pee…
