Musings of a first-time mommy
That was the seventh time baby D rejected to swallow a spoonful of food. "Okay. Eat now!", I said, attempting to thrust a ball of rice into baby D's mouth while showing off my mobile phone with the other hand.

It's been a while, I know. Given a chance I'd silently cringe away from this ordeal of having to narrate the whole story of why I procrastinated writing all these days. But here I'm, all set to face my readers (though I'm not totally sure if you are still there) despite being obstructed by a... Continue Reading →
Last week was pretty rough for the three of us. I sprained my knee, my phone broke on its own (or was it the raccoon?), I almost forgot the existence of this blog of mine, the husband experienced a tremendous meltdown and to top it all, my little one fell ill. It was like some... Continue Reading →

For most of you, this internationally renowned book needs no introduction. Others (like me) who can only relate the author's last name to one of the most popular methods... Continue Reading →
The sun peeps out yet again in life, melting down the merciless cerebral frostbite that's been restricting my thought process for the past few weeks. Today's evening walk under the mellow sun awakened the zen master in me. For more than an hour, I remained in a state of mindfulness letting every moment sculpt my... Continue Reading →
My youngest cousin K is home for her semester holidays.
