Couple dynamics in contemporary families is a complex, almost incomprehensible affair. Our roles should not be defined by gender we promulgate, yet within the confines of our individual homes, away from prying eyes of family, friends and society; we are often left wondering what it means to be The Wife or The Husband. We battle... Continue Reading →
Exhaustion.
“My head aches, my eyes burn, my arms and legs have given up, and my face in the mirror has a grayish cast. The bed, across the room, calls in its unmistakable lover's croon, Come to me, come, only I can make you truly happy, oh, how happy I'll make you, don't resist, remember how... Continue Reading →
Ma Wednesday! Mommy pangs.
Ugh. This is turning into quite the mommy blog. I seem to write about Zoe and my Mummy adventures more than anything else. Apologies, if you find these mommy rants boring and repetitive.

A nippy, crisp day. An early start. A rare, idyllic drive without being stemmed by signals. Missed all ten of them! A Chopin enthused procedure room. Couple of challenging but snippy procedures. An early return home. Sumptuous, homely, comfort food. An uncommonly long afternoon nap by the Little One. Customary cover to cover reading of... Continue Reading →
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.

Of starting something new and re- starting something old….
Finally, a week of tangible progress. Of palpable movement. I have been withering in stagnation the past few weeks. And just when despair was extending its vicious but welcoming arms, pleasant changes arrive, bearing gifts of calm and relief. And hope.Lil Z is tiny, helpless and fragile no more. She is now a perfect little... Continue Reading →
