Getting future ready
What are you most excited about for the future? Mum was a vegetarian and we grew up on a healthy diet of vegetarian food. Dad introduced us to eating non-vegetarian by taking us to restaurants that prepared them. During those days, chicken tikka with toothpicks sticking out of them was all the rage. I remember…… Continue reading Getting future ready

What is your favorite genre of music? I don’t remember when Dad got the TV, but I have these vague memories of a group of kids sitting on the floor and watching the TV in my living room. We used to come in around 5.45 pm to watch the start of the 6 pm broadcast,…… Continue reading Tuned in
Yours toothfully!
Have you ever had surgery? What for? Back in the day, long before mobile phones became a thing, most of our communication was via word of mouth. For instance, as a practicing advocate, Mum used to go to court every day. The court complex is like a humungous college campus; cases are heard in the…… Continue reading Yours toothfully!

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
