It’s class night tonight and I drove myself to work. K and I started around the same time and pulled into work one behind the other. As I picked up my handbag, my lunch bag and my school laptop in a bulky bag of its own, he stood by smiling. Every time he has offered […]
** Mush Alert!
Yes. K is a year older. In the grand scheme of things, this is just a blip but considering my universe is largely inhabited by K, it is a huge deal
Birthdays make me anxious. I wonder about what gifts to buy from months ahead. I plan and plot in my head […]
In all an eventful weekend with family at home. Its been a long time since all of us got together. It was fun to see the kids interact with each other. What amazed me is how much of the person’s personality is clearly evidenced even as a child. Both my nieces were as different as […]
Oh, the more we get together,
Together, together,
Oh, the more we get together,
The happier we’ll be.
For your friends are my friends,
And my friends are your friends.
Oh, the more we get together,
The happier we’ll be!
As I sit working from home, I hear squeals of laughter coming from the basement where the Vs are blissfully keeping each other […]

I woke up in the morning thinking my little niece turns ONE today!!! I have a smile on in what seems like a permanent fixture on my face today. Humming to myself I waited till it was a Godly hour to call my brother’s home and wish the little one. Not that she cares.. but […]
Today a person whom I love and cherish (other than K and my family of course!) celebrates her birthday. Memories of her always make me smile. The good ones I mean We met for the first time when we lined up to take an aptitude test in the sweltering Chennai heat in July 1997. […]
With every passing year, the memories seem to acquire a sepia toned feel to it. Early on in my marriage I used to relish recounting how K came to “see” me. What we talked about, how we decided to go ahead to commit to waking up to each other for the rest of our lives. […]
Getting off the phone after a long conversation with a good friend, I was left wondering about a lot of things.
