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.

Do you remember your favorite book from childhood? The first series of books we had at home was the Amar Chitra Kathas.
