Mum’s packing again.

Mum's packing again (we have to do it more than once a month it looks like). And I tell you, it's the funniest thing. Even Papa finds it comical. Her antics are the same every time. She starts off with a proclamation that she will pack light. That she will not carry a single, unnecessary...

Of unwitting absence.

It's been a while folks! The blog absence and internet abstinence was unintentional; circumstantial. The H family was on a road trip. A trip initiated by grim events and complicated by urgency. We packed in haste and  hit the road unprepared. It is amazing how much life and thought are forced to change when you...

Chillin’!

I love Saturdays (or Thursdays, depending on which part of the world I am in at the moment). It is a warm, fuzzy kind of love. It is conditional though. I wouldn't love it if I were on call/ duty the next day. So yeah... We are spending the evening chillin' at home. Not in...

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...

Goodbye Kannur! For now…

The wedding shenanigans concluded by Monday. At least for J and Lil' Z. With a train to catch, J decided to make a quick visit to the beach. A sort of goodbye. A place of peace and calm for J. A place where Mr H and she had hid from the world. Six years ago....

This is why I love to fly.

Dr J anxiously waits for the boarding call. In the days gone by, she would have loved the waiting time. She would have strolled the stores and had cup after cup of bad, overpriced coffee and  doughy donuts. But not today. Lil' Z isn't a happy chappy. She was dragged out of her bed at...

An epic trip!

Hella folks! It's been barely four days, since I last spoke to you folks. But it seems like ages. The trip was everything I had hoped it would be. And more. I met tons of family, had kilos of great food and soaked in the lush greenery and sticky heat that my "hometown" (different from my...

Z’s a pro!!

Hello lovely people! Mama is too busy to write to you folks. But she will be back soon...I promise! We have been constantly travelling ....and are at yet another airport right now. Mama is pottering around with my food and bibs and Sippy cups. Poor thing. Without Papa around, it's hard on her. She manages...

The Ladies Lounge! Impulsive, wintry baby buys!

Doha and Bangalore are both heading toward winter. The Bangalore of yore (when I was still in tights and pinafores!) was pretty chilly. Not any more. Winter's now are barely cool. Chilly for a few days and then pleasantly cool thereafter. Doha surprisingly is  colder. Last year, I spent half my winter in Doha and...

Here and there.

Morning Folks! This blog is finally going to be true to it's name. Shuttling between two countries. And two fantastically vibrant and diverse cities. One, an already bustling, crazy metropolis. The other, just getting there. The best and worst of both. So much to come folks... So much...   Let's start with this morning. Here. And....
