Soaking In The Rain

I love standing in a downpour. (The BF thinks its creepy, but what does he know?? He’s the one who takes hot water baths in summer *Shudder*) I’ve always loved the first few showers of the monsoon. After the first week, when washed clothes refuse to dry and the floor is forever damp and the [...]

A Moonless Night

It was a moonless night….or maybe the moon hand’nt come out in our parts yet…the kinds when the sky looks its blackest and the stars seem to come alive with a bright new sparkle. The kind of night when a gentle breeze blows from the nearby hillock and for once, the traffic on the road [...]

A Missed Birthday

Regular reader of this blog are aware of my weekend schedule (which more tightly packed than pomegranate seeds) and the tales of ripping my hair off. This weekend was no different folks (read, missing maids, cranky twins), so I won’t go in there again. Suffice to say, I felt as though I’ve been through a [...]

My Redemption Lies In A Shoe-Shine Box?

This happened last week. I’ve been meaning to do this post since then….but inner dilemma prevented me. I’m still on the fence about the course of action required, and after much deliberation, have decided to turn to you all for assistance. Last week, I was at BigBazaar, doing some emergency shopping. I was late already [...]
