Marriages are Made in Heaven?!

Marriages are Made in Heaven?!

The person who said “Marriages are made in Heaven” must be shot dead…and with immediate effect. I am not the only female who holds that opinion. My notion of a marriage was a romantic affair. I believed that we know the ONE the instant we set eyes on them. After a decade of being...

Women and compliments

What’s with us a woman? Why do we constantly need morale boosting, I wonder? Whether its a little girl of 7 years, a confident career woman at 30, or a mature woman at 50, we can never hear enough “I am proud of you” “You look beautiful in that” “Thank you for supporting me”...

The Law of Parent’s Approval

Ever noticed that if there is anything you really want… you crave for, most of the times your parents won’t approve of it? No? Well, think again… I know if you think properly, you’ll have no option but to agree with me. Remember how you wanted to play in the rain and your mum...

Looney Looney Luna bars!

Free Fall

The gorge looked breathtakingly beautiful from the precarious edge of the rock. A tingling sensation ran through his spine. Vodka or Vertigo ? His brain stopped registering. Soon he was plummeting earthwards. A deep vertical fall. Fear gripped him. Insane rush of blood flooded his body. An altered state of consciousness. Slowly his eyes closed. A sharp pain slashed his chest. Thud. One long...

Tang… Anyone?

Two brothers (boisterous) + One sister (sweet) + One elder sister (held responsible for all 3) = Disaster As children, my brothers (both are younger than me) were a pain in the rear.

Mummy, I Love You

I know it seems to be a fad to say Mummy, I Love You…and we reserve a special day to say so. I always thought my mum was a bit timid, always solicitous and witty. As I grew up, I realized that my mum was unique in every way. She was not timid, she was...

Mom-to-be’s day out!

Other day we went to the Hospital for the Growth Scan of the Baby. Our hospital visit is more of excursion only. Well, it cannot be classified as picnic considering the smell of medicines and hospital environment but still it’s like a day long outing. Whenever my scans are due, we plan almost...
