• He, She

  

  I tried writing a lipogram, for the very first time in my life. For all those who are unaware of what a lipogram is (don’t worry, I had no clue about it too, before day before yesterday!), I’ll explain it. As per the dictionary a lipogram is a composition from which the writer systematically omits…

• Mumbai Diaries: Scattered Thoughts

  

  I’m feeling a little stuck. While I continue to write and share my writing with the world, I’m not sure what next? I’m not sure where do I go from here? I’m feeling a little swamped. Maybe more than a little. The weather has nothing to do with how I feel. I’ve never been one…

• My ‘littlest’ fan loves me more than he loves Rusty!

  

  I had gone to pick my younger daughter from school, after lunch with a few friends. It was one of those ‘girls’ day out’ fun afternoons. How we became friends is because we all have a kid studying in the same class. But our kids are not friends’ with each other. We’ve chosen to be…

• GTG, ROFL, NVM, OFC, YOLO, SMH – Is English Dying?

  

  I call myself a writer. I mean that’s what I’d like to believe I am for reasons more than one – a) I no longer have a full-time job that I can tell people of when they ask me what do I do, b) because I have been diligently writing a blog since 2016 and …

• Nutella Stocks are Out!

  

    Its ‘back to school’ again. Last evening, we went to the supermarket to stock our larder with things to put into the children’s lunch boxes – wraps, biscuits, juice boxes, mayonnaise, butter, cheese spread, mortadella, peanut butter…If you’re right now judging my parenting values based on what goes into my kids’ lunchbox, it’s fine.…
