This and that – Replug

A lot of times, I go back to that extinct-blog of mine and laugh my way off at things I’ve written. Shall I add, the immature-ish ways in which posts were written. This time around, I decided, I’ll invite some audience for such a laughing-away-to-glory-fest. And here we go, people, one more from the trash. [...]

A block and a re-plug – The phone menace

Dear readers, As I am suffering from acute blogger’s block for the last few days, I am unable to come up with new posts for the time being. I hope to come back with some interesting topics once the blog-cells in the brain(??) resume their working condition. In case, these cells decide to repair themselves earlier [...]

Vacationing tales

One of my New Year resolutions is to travel around with the family. This desire stems from the childhood vacations that I’ve witnessed year after year after year. My mom’s parents hail from a remote village in Thanjavur. (In fact, I was born in Thanjavur). Every vacation of ours, during my early childhood, would be spent [...]

The art called adjustment

The last few days, its been very hectic at work. Generally, on days that I am held up at office, I give a last minute call to the CH asking him to pick up the little ones from their day-care and he abides by it religiously. The CH, on his part, gives me an ultimatum [...]

Unity in diversity

Raising twins is a challenging yet rewarding exercise. For that matter, raising any kid is. But twins are different. I say this purely because of experience. You still don’t believe me? Here are some samples… Scene 1 – The fight to love It is around 9.30 in the night. The house is inhabited by three cranky-sleepy [...]

Conversations with God – Godly Discipline – Replug

Today, I happened to read Garima’s post on Tirupathi. Needless to say, I kept nodding at her post from start to finish. Her post also reminded me of an old post in my erstwhile blog. That, I had written during the one-year mottai ritual of Keer and Kaushik. Below is the re-plug. Conversations with God [...]

Thank you, Deepsi for this award. You just made my day! The award’s rules are – Nominate 15 Fellow Bloggers Inform the Bloggers [...]

Dream vocations

For Keer and Kau, that is. I have this habit of correlating the present-characteristics of Keer and Kau with their future-professions. It looks so bleak that they would ever follow whatever I think of. Nor do I want them to. But then, it is fun doing the matching. And why not when it is fun. [...]

Tagged – My pet posts

Its tag time, folks. And a pretty tough one that. Scribby tagged me while ago on this 7 meme post. And here is all about the tag. What this is about: To unite bloggers (from all sectors) in a joint endeavor to share lessons learned and create a bank of long but not forgotten blog posts that [...]

Family fun moments

Nervous moment – When some last minute urgent work sprang up at my workplace from unforeseen corners, just on the day before the four-day-off. Grateful moment – When a kind-hearted-colleague offered to take over my share of the work to complete it in my absence. Anticipated moment – When the trio of Amma, Appa and [...]
