Reaching home unusually early last evening, I stood by the stove fixing dinner and forced him to switch the TV off and look at my laptop for some information I needed. Our kitchen and family room faces the west at an angle and we have a window in the vaulted ceiling that streams the room […]
It’s amazing how little things bring order and a smile to an otherwise chaotic day. After six odd months, as K and I drove to work together, I was on my cell phone calling Amma like I always do. Just as expected, she picked the phone at first ring and my first question was “Enna […]
I love Firefox and when I found this on a fellow blogger’s site, I couldn’t help spreading the word. So, if you heart Firefox, check this out.

Thank you all for stopping by to wish me yesterday!
K and I had taken the day off. We made the mandatory trip to the temple, had lunch outside and came back home for a short siesta before getting back to routine and fixing dinner and all the wonderful stuff. Looking back it was probably the […]
