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.
Mounting Fears
I often wonder why change is so scary ?! As the time of the 2nd biggest change of my life approaches, fear grips my heart. Almost as much if not more, the excitement of holding my own flesh n blood in my arms. We tend to get so mellow in our comfort zones n routines that any threat to the…
Now You See Her
I love supernatural books. But as I read this one, it felt more like a mills and boons than a mystery or supernatural book. The heroine of the book slowly ( very slowly ) divulges that she has been noticing weird things happening around her. As she discovers what is actually happening to her she finds herself embroilled with an amazing…
Dresden Files : White Night
Honestly, can’t comment on this book since I haven’t followed the series from the beginning. Found the characters very well defined and fun to read about. The story was sort of confusing for me since there are many situations which seemed to be based on things which might be mentioned before. Thus, the jury is out on this one ……
The Pretend Wife
What a refreshing read!! Most of us spend our whole lives figuring out what Love and Marraige is all about. And we never know till we experiment with love and never know till we finally get married. Both can be exclusive and inclusive, depending on the individuals in question. This book brings forth questions that most of us carry around…
About Face
If you’ve read enough mystery novels, I guess around time every story becomes predictable. This one is no exception. From the first few pages, you know what the protagonist has been through and will be going through next. The writing is what surprised me the most. The grammatical and structural errors had me shocked as to how the book finally…
61 Hours
I am senselessly in love with Jack Reacher. I just love his sense of honour, honesty and all that’s wrong with the world. I love the way Lee Child puts across the tale from beginning to end, keeping you tied up in each scene and dialogue. Didn’t enjoy this outing as much as the others though, as the suspense is…
On my deathbead …
This is what someone said to me recently – ” on our deathbeds will we really know what we were born to do…nice one…hope none of us regret …it knowing the truth then … “ I wonder. Why is it that people have a ” don’t think about it, don’t talk about it ” attitude towards REGRET. Regrets are a part…
Shopaholic & Sister
The Shopaholic series is one that I love to hate. On the one hand I cannot believe anyone can be so callous and have such warped way of thinking. On the other hand, the writing is always so humorous and the story always takes a wonderful turn that makes for wonderful story telling. Here we have the Luke and Becky…
Ugly Duckling !!!
With all the ups and downs that I’ve been experiencing healthwise lately, I’ve had a revelation of sorts. Yes, another one ! Life is full of them 🙂 Some days have been thinking that I’m the ugliest person on earth. I look in the mirror and all I see is the tired, sad looking person who just puked her guts out and…
