You read all about about Curious’s love affair with snow and how we were missing it this year in Sledding Day 2021 . For her sake, I really wanted it to snow. Well my prayers were finally answered and how! To give you an idea, as per official records, this was highest snow recorded in Seattle in last 52 years. Unlike the heavy windy snow we witnessed last year, we were treated to lighter, calmer snowfall this year. Dreamy fluffy…
It all started with this caught-in-an-embarrassing-moment-during-virtual-meetings kind of video that landed in my chat messenger one morning. This one was funny, in this video a man is intently explaining his work when suddenly his partner unaware that the camera is on tries to sneak in a kiss. The man appears to be visibly shocked, firstly to be caught unaware and secondly because everyone on the meeting has now witnessed the little kiss act. He just looks at her in disbelief…
Welcome to the new series. Conversations.

More often than not, we slip into some thought provoking conversations . There are times when you agree and then there are times when you just want to scream out and say your piece….
Last month was a great swim month for Little . She did the head bobs all by herself , finally !! After nearly 4 months she did. Yohoo, you go girl!! Who is celebrating? I am I soo am! Its taken a lot of cajoling, begging and not-so-nice warning to get her to do it. I am so proud of me. That’s right, you bet I am! What is a head bob ? Well… “Head bobs basically is hanging onto…
The cutest thing happened a few days ago and it went like this “But then , how will I grow ?” Before I tell you all about it, let’s rewind a bit, It all started with Potty Training I know mommies, I have your attention now ! I started potty training Little when she was about 6 months old. Now when you have the second one, most of you may agree with me, you just want to replicate your successes you…
We finally checked off “sledding” from our bucket list of winter-things-to-do-every-year! Constant reminders followed by accusations of-being-unfair or no fair topped with extra drama from a certain 8 year old for over a month now, finally forced us into making that trip to Leavenworth. The drive was breath taking, It’s like one of those stunning winter wonderland kind of drive that you always watch in movie and what made it perfect was that we had a visit from Mr. Sun himself. It was gorgeous…
Hello! Happy National Youth Day to you. In all honesty, I wouldn’t have bothered myself with this day, (one more day in the list of ever growing days to celebrate) had it not been for the those endless Instagram posts that flooded my feed today. Friends posting a photograph of their younger selves captioned What I would tell my younger “youth” self? Hashtag #nationalyouthday Did you know, National Youth Day is celebrated every year on the 12th of January since 1985 to honor one…
“Losing respect for someone, is always a weird thing ,you don’t hate the person, you just don’t feel the need to ever speak to them ,again or even think about them in the same way. You are just done” How apt is this? Please raise your hands or rather give me a thumbs up👍 (courtesy zoom meetings!). How many of you have felt this way ? One too many times perhaps? These lines were not written by me, but it resonates…
2014 was a year of lot of changes for me, this post is more of personal note to self, years later I would like to relive the moments of the year gone by, the year of Twenty Fourteen. On professional front, -After working for a decade in HP, I decided to call it quits, It wasn’t an easy one to make, but one that needed to be done. In the hindsight, I think its one of the better decisions that I…
After being bombarded with countless articles on age and such on the net & newspapers alike., out of sheer lack-of-interesting-topics , I decided to try writing one too! I did some serious thinking & came up with the you know your in your thirties when… *Creative eh?* Be my guest, I am ready for all bricks and bats *duck* 1. You blatantly refuse to acknowledge your age! how original 2 .You relate to the agony of those who are 40 plus,…
S and V were already out and heading for the stairs. I rushed out of my 18th floor apartment, not before grabbing the keys and an old sweater that was lying around thank god for common sense. It was the fire alarm,it had been on for good 5 minutes. The first reaction ,was that of dismissal, Could be a false one. Ever since V’s birth,we are conscious of safety rules, so when the alarm refused to stop, we rushed out without…
The Buddy List, five types of friends a woman must have, an article that was featured in Bangalore Times couple of years ago, to be precise in 2010. Sifting through the drafts folder of my older blog, this particular post caught my eye. I decided to rework on it, I have met some amazing people since then and there are those I have lost in touch with, Its only fair that I post my new updated list here. So I did, I…
It’s my first month here in the city of Hyderabad and surprisingly the weather has been kind to us! Yes, I had to start with the weather..well that’s what scared me the most, not the fact that we are moving away from Bangalore, or the fact I won’t have any friends/family/acquaintances , but “Its going to bloody hot”!! Guess, I’ll just have to wait for the dreaded summer to feel the real heat,until then, loving the nip in the air….
