How It Feels To Be Terrified

Terror. A single word. A multitude of emotions. Fear.Helplessness.Disbelief. Denial. A feeling so overpowering, that at times, it robs one of their speech. You want to say something, but the words just don’t come out. All you can feel is that numb shivering in your bones. The eyes dart about frantically. The heart beats so [...]

Of Livers, Needles and Dilemmas!!!

A Long time back, before I had the twins, there was a time I was shuttling between the doctor’s clinics and pathology labs. For some unknown reason, I had difficulty retaining my pregnancies. Miscarriage after miscarriage had made me immune to pain. I was advised to get various different blood tests done. I’m surprised at [...]

The Heat’s Got To Me

It’s a bl**dy awful day , that’s what! It’s the second week of Feb and the sun’s burning right through the roof! I have no idea what to do with the bundles of blankets lying around the house, hopeful of being used one day. I’m sure that the day I will put them away, the [...]

Very Lovely Chubby Cheeks

O(b/s)ama and Me

I could write a funny little couplet with the three characters , Obama, Osama and me, but I won’t. Because though funny thoughts do creep up my mind, what I’m posting today is far from it. I’ll be writing about Osama and how he changed my life. I’ll mention Obama, who must have have faced [...]

I don’t want Einstiens…….

…………….or Picasso’s for that matter. Neither do I look for a Shakespeare or an Edison. I’m not sure what I want. But I guess I’m pretty clear on what I do NOT. I do NOT want my kids to start on their PhD thesis when they are yet to come out of their diapers. I [...]

Of Work, Worries, Woes and Wishes!

I started writing this post yesterday. Instead of Wordless Wednesday, I wanted to write about “W”s of the other kind (seeing that I’m flooded with them this season ) . There’s so much happening around me and so much that I’m into right now, that I’m losing track of everything miserably (total failure there !) [...]
