The first time someone called me Mrs. Singh, I was getting on a plane going to Goa on our honeymoon. I’ve been Miss. Singh all my life so being called Mrs. Singh was such a rush !! Took a second to register that I’ve now taken on a number of new versions of me, the most important of which is…

I'm a mom living in Virginia, enjoying chronicling my various escapes with the kids and around the kitchen. I believe being a mom involves a balance of holding on and letting go. And since being a mom is a 24/7 job, cooking though essential, needs to be as easy as can be. So peruse my blog for various experiences in parenting and experiments in cooking.
The Time Traveller’s wife
What a truly beautiful piece of art. Just the kind of book a tired soul needs on a rainy day. The book holds onto you from the first page, carrying you forward into a world where love is magical. Not the I’ll bring the stars for you kind but the ” honey, you forgot to bring milk but I still…
How Rude !!
It doesn’t take much to tip me over to the dark side, ranting and raving about human stupidities. One of the cases is usually when I do something with a good intention only to have it leaving me aghast at how indifferent people are to others’ feelings. You know when you have a conversation with someone with a tentative feeling…
No reason
The house is quiet. I’m sitting here, feeling peaceful. The food is made, the house is clean, there is a serenity in the air as the two pieces of my heart drift in and out of their dream lands. I wile away time by reading recipes and ” The Time Traveler’s Wife. ” Somehow right now I’m happy. You know,…
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins
Takes long time to start n too emotionally stagnant. But as the book progresses the story seems to take off and fly. I personally loved the way emotions of all the protagonist are not limited to whether or not she loves Gale or Peeta, though that got old in the first book itself. The caring and support system that develops…

The Affair by Lee Child
My love for Jack Reacher and his every facet only grow with every read. It’s awesome how Lee Child can come up with such a wonderful concept and story line yet be willing to go against his own creation and choose Tom Cruise to portray the same. But I digress. This story is of the last case on which…
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins
After Harry Potter and Twilight series I believe this is another hit for the same genre. Loved the main character, specially her love for her sister. That truly had me till the end, maybe coz I could relate. The twists in the story and the peppering of characteristics of the various players in the fame thrown in make for…
Confidante Missing !
A void exists in the space that is my life. Over much pondering I realized that I no more have someone in whom I can confide in totally and trust. I miss having someone whom I can rely on being there when I pick up the phone and dial. Before marriage, I had a couple of such friends. They knew…
