There was a time when I’d have a list. I’d have a list of people I was close to. A list of people – who were the ‘chosen ones’, the people who were game-changers. Their inputs mattered. If I didn’t get to speak to them through the day, it would feel like there was something … Continue reading »

A Morning in Mommytown.
Jibran wakes up at 6.30 a.m. He plays with my hands, gives me those giant smiles of his that make me forget just how crappy it is to wake up at 6.30 a.m. after dreaming of Italy and the French Riviera. And to know that you can’t possibly see the Riviera until the smiling little … Continue reading »
Yeah. I’m politically incorrect.
Apparently it’s deeply important for everyone to be a bleeding heart liberal to be famous nowadays. Not that I blame them. When you watch shows that star witty people like Jon Stewart against demonizing crazy people like Wolf Blitzer and you’ve got genuine looking people protesting on Wall Street against ‘greed’ whereas swagger-filled scumbag billionaires … Continue reading »
Will my son believe in a God?
It was easier to break away from tradition when you’re tied to it. But what happens if you’re never given the chance? What happens if you are completely free from the pressure of conforming? Do you still make the choice you would have had you been exposed to the aforementioned tradition/conformation pressure/whathaveyou ? There are … Continue reading »
The Clouds Have Parted.
This is taken from the December issue of Psychology Today. “Some roles tend to breed overachievers. Mothers today are truly busier than past generations, says psychologist Diane Halpern of Claremont McKenna College. ‘On average, women still do more child and home care than men, and with increasing work hours, women are working more.’ Layer on … Continue reading »
Protected: Existentialist angst. Commonly known as wtf. (oh and the usual pw won’t work)
Day 3. Far from the madding family hooplas.
Lot of people around me, people that I personally know, people that I’m friends with, tell me such heartwarming stories about their families. How they miss their parents, how close they are to their siblings and how a daughter is supposed to be a spitting image of her mother. Drumroll please. Cue Conversations with a … Continue reading »
What Twilight REALLY means .. or .. a Jungian-cum-Freudian analysis.
Let’s not talk about how much agony was inflicted upon me through the first two movies. The first one I watched to see what the hype was all about. The second one I saw because I’d already seen the first. And the third one. Well. I am out of excuses. Sometimes you just want to … Continue reading »
Day 10.
The good news is. It’s going to do wonders for my diet. I rarely blog about what is really wrong in my life. I don’t like talking about it. Especially publicly. Parts of my life that are really truly sucky aren’t the parts I want to start thinking about when I want to wind down. … Continue reading »
Day 40-38.
More subpost-random stuff. Bedtime Stories: Finally finished watching it. It’s an adorable flick. Much better than the “Zohan”. That gave me the heebie jeebies. Bedtime Stories is yet another typical Happy Madison flick; Sandler plays the handyman (his usual go-to role, a regular no-good, laid-back American with a smart-mouth) Skeeter. He tells his niece and … Continue reading »
