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...

Off again!

Hello folks! We are off again. A train cum road trip this time. Covering the entire state of Kerala.   By the time you folks read this, I will be somewhere halfway between Thiruvananthapuram and Kasargod. I have always found the phrase "speaking from the grave" fascinating. Not in a morbid sense, but the fact that...

Update: Blogger’s block, jewelry shopping and bad internet!

I am usually in one of three states of mind: 1. Verbal/ Mental diarrhea- The thoughts pour forth, words tumble out violently, nimble fingers fly across the keyboard. I am in control, but the thoughts and words have a mind of their own. I cannot stop thinking. Not talking makes me physically sick; almost. I...

Outward bound. And hat’s off to all single parents!

Hella folks! It's been a while. A short while. But a while nonetheless. This post was supposed to be up last night, the darned internet and my own dull-witted, forgetful brain colluded and made the post disappear. Poof! Just like that. Half an hour. Precious,precious time. Where the baby sleeps and the tired, unwell Momma...

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...

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....

The parting…

Hours 13 to 16... Eerily prophetic bed cover!   Off to the airport...   The "New Doha International Airport" - NDIA/ Hamad International Airport - HIA   Had absolutely NO time to wander about the "airport- mall" and duty free outlets.   The minimalistic but spotlessly clean changing rooms...   Looking for the boarding gate,...

The last supper..

Hours 1 to 12.... The "packing expert" fits everything but the kitchen sink, into three bags.   The Last Supper...Mister's choice.   Will sorely miss the morning cuppa together and the gossip and ranting that goes along...   A favoured breakfast at the H household!...   And finally...the last meal....   More to come... Till...

MiA!

Dr J has been missing in action for a bit. Apologies. Dr J feels she is in a time- warp. Nothing makes sense. No decision is clear or correct. No scenario is ideal. Nothing is black or white. It's a grey, grey world. Part 36 or so hours have been a blur. Pictures may tell...

Random thoughts and images….

If home is where the heart is, then this alien city is my home. Bangalore to Doha to Bangalore to Doha.....to....   Can this be squeezed in?     Back to where one belongs?     One last time...     Minor/ temporary beguilement...     Almost blasphemous separation....     Yet again..... less than 24...
