Nov 27th 2006. 6:45 PM. The doctors officially let us know my dad was no more. In many ways it was confirmation of a fact we were mentally preparing for. For days after questions lingered. The pain was sharp at times, the tears fast and furious. Anger alternated with grief. A few months passed, my […]
A hundred things rush through my mind as I drive back from the airport. I have three different to-do lists in various stages of completion. The adrenalin rush is palpable. Rush through the customer service desk returning items I do not need. Even I receive the receipt back my mind is already on the next […]
Good Byes of any kind bring mixed feelings in me. Mostly sadness. Sometimes it becomes a little more profound.
FIL leaves to India tomorrow. As I helped pack and made sure he did not miss his medications or his personal effects I felt a tinge of sadness. I know he is just going back home and […]

Living with food critics is not easy. So much so that I am forever fearful of how my food tastes. More often than not, it turns out OK but there are these days when it is not so. I never hear the end of it.
Yesterday morning, I intended making rasam. Being old fashioned when it […]

1. I consciously or subconsciously end up imitating or copying mannerisms from people I spend the most time with. It could be words others use or peculiar gestures.
2. I […]
My bro walking in to the kitchen where I was sitting with my friend eating lunch. He was holding Sruthi. One look at my niece and my face broke out into the widest grin it was capable of. All of 24 inches she already has me wrapped tight around her little finger. What would I […]
We shopped till we dropped yesterday. Of course, we are going to India and no India trip is complete without loads of shopping. Right? Am not sure anymore! As we mapped our course for the day and completed checking off items on our list with mathematical precision some uncomfortable questions kept popping up. Why are […]
Conversation. Of course that’s my opinion. I had a fantabulous time yesterday. We were at a dinner party where food was good, people friendly and conversation in full flow. There were people from different walks of life. Most of whom I had never met before. The only common thread was the host.
There are plenty of […]
The day dawned pretty late for us today at 7:30 AM. I could hear FIL had woken up too. I sometimes have this irresistible urge to be the first. It happens sometimes when we get home from work and the minute K starts up the stairs, I have to race past to be the first […]
