The news and magazine junkie!

Hello folks! 'Twas a dull day at work today. With her consultant off on vacation, there was just some ho- hum post- op and follow-up drills for J to do. Nothing more. She had time to kill, which she did admirably by reading news and magazines ad nauseam. Random words, phrases and paragraphs stood out....

Ma Wednesday- Lotions and potions for a time- strapped, working Mama!

So, a couple of weeks or so have passed since I told you folks how uncool I am (or was) when it comes to skincare. (Read here) Knowing all too well that they are no miracle cures or magical potions that medically/ scientifically make any sense, I still decided to go ahead and make an...

Ma Wednesday- Utter turpitude, inconceivable anguish.

There are many things unbeknown to me. But of one thing I am sure. That there is no greater anguish than seeing your child hurt. The death of an offspring is the hardest, heaviest, most wretched cross to bear. Inconceivable. Unbearable.   What depravity of soul and mind instills such misplaced hatred and convoluted ideology...

Runday Monday! Keeping up….

It was a pathetic week. In terms of exercise that is. In terms of everything else, it was bloody darned terrific! So yeah. You win some and you lose some. It's the late nights that are killing me. My most productive hours are between 11 pm and 1:30 am. I then pass out on top...

Nerdy Sunday! Gone Girl- Gillian Flynn

“For several years, I had been bored. Not a whining, restless child's boredom (although I was not above that) but a dense, blanketing malaise. It seemed to me that there was nothing new to be discovered ever again. Our society was utterly, ruinously derivative (although the word derivative as a criticism is itself derivative). We...

The Ladies Lounge! (Shopping Saturday?) A guide to multi- currency shopping!

Hello ladies! To all my lovelies in the Middle East, hope you HAD a lovely weekend. And to all my other beautiful ladies, hope you HAVE  a wonderful weekend! Aah! Finally. A day without the gents (at least on this blog!) All the darkness hovering over me has descended. The clouds have lifted. My philosophy-...

Friday Flutters! A wise man’s words….

As I sit in nigh darkness, I contemplate the state of my life. And my love. Of chasing dreams. And of the sacrifices that such pursuits entail.   Of passion and perseverance. Or rather the surplus of passion and equivalent sparseness of the requisite perseverance. Can passion alone sustain one's dreams? Without the luxury of foresight,...

Thursday Troubles! What’s your Roadavataar?

Every evening, I come home bone- tired. With a pulsing headache. With ringing ears. With teary, irritated eyes. With a sore bum and achy arms. No, it's not my work that does that to me. My work only gives me a creaky neck, a wonky back, dry, flaky hands and sore calves. Thanks to odd...
