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.

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.

I. Me. Myself.

Who do you spend the most time with? I am my best company. I start my day by discussing the plan of action and targets. I mentally compare it to the plan I had made the previous evening and often, there is no change and my morning run-through holds fine. Sometimes, a second person gets…… Continue reading I. Me.

The name game

If you had to change your name, what would your new name be? My parents thought long and hard to find 4 names that started with the same letter and ended with the same letter- alliteration if you will! The best part is that we have the same initials and the worst part is our…… Continue reading The name game
