Amidst the everyday humdrumness, finding your little haven is paramount.

I often speak about chaos and the everyday mundanity of life. About troubles and banes. About the insanity of new motherhood and the accompanying weight of responsibility. I often unburden myself here on the blog and use it as a portal to bemoan my troubles, at the expense of you lovely folks. Venting troubles online...

Of numbers and milestones.

I am a numbers and statistics loving woman. I just noticed this.. Considering how little time I spend with this much loved baby of mine, these humble numbers are comforting. I wish I could do more here. Interact more with other bloggers and diversify. But I really am stretched to snapping point. So yeah. Our...

Of January rain.

It is almost 5:30 AM. The unfailing Human Alarm wakes me up. She is still asleep though. The morning is enveloped in characteristic wintry, darkness. But it is uncharacteristically warm. I peel away the stifling layers of covers and blankets and get out of bed, determined to make it for the first run of the...

Killing some data…

On the train. Baby finally asleep. Plugged into my iPod and browsing the web on phone.

An existential crisis…

I was greeted with this notification after I published yesterday's post.   I was vaguely aware of the number of posts being in the 90s, but was pleasantly surprised when the number 100 popped up. 100 posts! Ficklemindedness is my trademark trait, supplemented with an occasional lack of self- motivation and surplusness of procrastination. All combined, things...

Yaaaawn…. Have a Lovely, Joyous, Blessed Eid folks!

“All human plans [are] subject to ruthless revision by Nature, or Fate, or whatever one preferred to call the powers behind the Universe.” ― Arthur C. Clarke, 2010: Odyssey Two Will tell you folks why I started with this quote- hopefully tomorrow! For now, I’d just like to wish everyone a joyous and blessed Eid!...

Blogging . The first month! Help!

It is finally time to go to bed, and guess what the time is? 3:40 AM. My day started at 6 AM this last morning. I’m bone- tired and blogging is the last thing I want to do (apart from putting up Z’s laundry which is still tumbling in the dryer!). But I cannot slack...
