Of the nightly glows. (Update)

Once the snooze button was pressed, I had a look at last night’s post- NEEDED some editing and updating!

Manic Mum Life

People say technology has eroded communal living. We are so busy being online that we fail to build meaningful, lasting friendships and relationships- they say. We apparently share too much with too many people. We are a compulsively exhibitionist, yet equally voyeuristic society. There are memes and cartoons of entire families sitting together in the same room, with their gadgets and devices; engrossed in their virtual worlds, utterly disconnected from each other.

I wonder though..

As I sit here and type this, in semi- darkness; The Mister is right beside. Awash in the soft white glow of our respective gadgets, we are as close as we can be, yet in entirely different virtual worlds.

We read, we surf. He watches, I blog. He plays, I hear. We do whatever our heart desires. No fights, no arguments, no settling for something just because the other wishes so.

Yet, we laugh and…

The Ladies Lounge- Currently Crushing!

And here we go again, ladies! The year is already a month old and it has brought with it a slew of surprises; some pleasant and some nasty. (We shall get into that another day.) It's time for my current crushes. This month's favorites are few but are true favorites. They are things that I...

Ma Wednesday! The routine of scheduled randomness.

A lot of new mothers (especially the horribly anxious first- timers) stress on "routines" for their bubs. I have read about how it is best to "get them on a schedule" early on. Every forum I visit, has half a dozen queries everyday on how to get a 10 day old, or a 4 week...

Runday Monday- Quirks!

I am not superstitious, but I can be a creature of habit. These are habits/ quirks/ rituals/ practices that I seemed to have accrued over the years, running-wise. -  Pre- run snack is always half a banana (or one small one) and a sip (only ONE) of water.   - The music- source/ iPod always...

Surprises our heads hide.

How would you feel if you woke up feeling different everyday? Not knowing if you wanted to wake up and burst forth and head to conquering all in sight, or cower and wilt and wither away to oblivion under a large rock. There are days when you want to shine bight like the corona. And...

Ladies Lounge Pic Post- Glowy cheeks and peachy lips week!

Beauteous, baseless, unreasonable joy.

“I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.” ― Virginia Woolf There are days such as these, where mundaneness begets joy. When the ordinary becomes cherished. When nothing...
