This has been bubbling inside for quite long, so just need to get it out of my system.

I am totally in awe of how much an average women’s body endures in its lifetime! Yes, men do undergo surgeries, but for most women child-birth is an inevitable part of life. Yes, human bodies in general are resilient [...]

I was away for 1 day on a work trip, leaving the kid behind for the first time overnight. After hajaar instructions to the maid and appa, and with infinite worries and a silent prayer I left. I tossed and turned in my hotel bed, missing the little monster hugging AND kicking me in [...]

I am tired. Of waiting for hours together outside govt offices in long serpentine queues, under hot afternoon sun. I am tired of being on alert constantly, lest someone jump the queue. Because I know that if I drop my guard for a second, someone surely will jump the queue. I am tired of fighting [...]

This is going to be very emotional and filled with angst, so please leave if you’re not in the mood.
So one fine day I realize my passport is missing. I found out that to apply for a duplicate one, I need an FIR amongst other things. The husband was travelling and I decided to wait [...]

… cause I’m finally driving by myself at the ripe age of 29. So what if takes me 45 minutes to cover 3 kms. Today I even managed to put the AC and the radio on without knocking anyone down and it was fabulous. THIS is women’s liberation my friend.

Popsicle –> PepsiCola – so much cooler than popsicle no?
Time please –> Thupplis (is what regular junta called it). Thames (is what the hep crowd called it).
Zigzagzee –> Jeejaajee (hold your breath for the rest of the song).. kabhi upar, kabhi neeche, kabhi aage, kabhi peeche.. can’t remember the rest of the stuff. No wonder [...]

.. ya laali, who can stand up and say that life has always been fair to him? That everybody and everything he’s undergone has always been just what he deserved or more.

I have a very generous lady for a neighbour, who keeps plying us with goodies like laddus and polis and dahi wadas, every once in a while.
