All about bugs, bites, and travels

What countries do you want to visit? There’s no time to be bored in a world as beautiful as this. I procured my passport a few years after I got married. Until then, I hadn’t traveled the world and had found no reason to want to make the arrangements to do so. My first international…… Continue reading All about bugs, bites, and travels

Total recall

What’s your favorite thing about yourself? I’m an elephant- in the crazy kind of things, I seem to remember from when I was a kid. Is it exceptional, I have no idea, because I honestly cannot remember my email passwords and usually spend a lot of time resetting these at regular intervals. I know that…… Continue reading Total recall

A little more

How do you want to retire? I’m a WFH-SAHM, and I don’t know if I can retire. I wake up super early to ensure kids are set to leave from home to school on time, pack lunch, and keep shoes and bottles out so nothing is missed. Dust and make beds, prep breakfast, ensure there…… Continue reading A little more

Mamma said

What’s the oldest thing you own that you still use daily? Metaphors. I’ve been raised with quite a few, here are the two I used on my kids and their counters to mine. A progressive generation- these kids. I never had a comeback for Mum’s metaphors. I dared never to have one. But, this new…… Continue reading Mamma said

I’m like a bird

Describe one of your favorite moments. I learned to drive a car when I was 23 years old. I was newly married and the husband did not want to spend time picking me and dropping me off over the weekends when I had to sometimes work. He felt that the smartest thing would be for…… Continue reading I’m like a bird

Walk of shame

What notable things happened today? A typical school morning for me involves me knocking and at times banging on the bathroom door trying to hustle the boy out in time to board the bus. Today, I jumped a level. In retrospect, it’s super hilarious, but I was super ticked off, while it happened. So, picture…… Continue reading Walk of shame

Someday, I will!

What are you passionate about? Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you – Oprah Winfrey I love to drive. Long drives with the windows rolled down, at a speed where you can look out and enjoy the wind blowing through your hair, are the kind of drives I…… Continue reading Someday, I will!

Hazy, crazy days of summer

What is your favorite season of year? Why? I remember standing on the terrace, guarding the blue plastic sheet with the tiny Vadams left to dry in the sun. It must’ve been around 3:45 pm, the sun was hot, but its intensity was dying down. A faint wind picked up. It was towards the end…… Continue reading Hazy, crazy days of summer

A partner in crime

What’s the one luxury you can’t live without? By definition a luxury is something you can live without, if your wants and needs are met. Back in the day, I remember thinking that a mobile device was a luxury. I argued with my spouse about it. We discussed mobile phones, talked about usage, worked through…… Continue reading A partner in crime

Aut inveniam viam aut faciam

If humans had taglines, what would yours be? I cannot give up. If I have taken on a responsibility, then I try to do my best to be successful at it. Taking care of my younger sibling proved to me that there was always a way to make things happen. I just had to persevere…… Continue reading Aut inveniam viam aut faciam
