Highlight of the past week has been that I’m in a romantic movies mode. It peaked with Lootera then came a deep LOW with Raanjhana, also saw Oz in the middle but then special effects are just for the ” wow ” factor and then came a nice little pondering with the Vow. Below are the romantic notions the movies…
Love at the Movies
Wow! Look at that view of mountains. Only movies can have such grand panoramic views. The tiny detail of the way the actor walked in room is astounding. This guy can act. He’s going to be a superstar soon. Their chemistry in this scene is to over the moon. A little too intense for me but it’s everything I had…
Fountain of Youth
Statues lay beholden Still and relentless Embellished in rainbows Flowing waters ankle deep A solace from humid monotony Jolts of cool sprays marvel Mock protests ensue Beings glide, kicking, flicking Splashing, laughing Life pauses in these drops Glistening on the skin The sun thunders in vain Children play Gods Untarnished, untiring Squeals garnish the dull roar The moon will rise…
40 Activities for Toddler Summer
So, spring is here and the way things are going summer is just around the corner. Which is good, coz after the depressing winter we have had with the colds and flu and the ear infections, the last thing I need is the allergy season to be with us for a long time. Which makes having a gala time with…
Choice to Mate
Having a kid changes you in ways you don’t even expect. I used to think I was very liberal , even with the concept of same sex relationships. Then I had a kid and reconsidered the ramifications of what it actually means. I didn’t find it okay to believe that sexual orientation is biological. The concept of reproduction defines the…
Weaning Woes
Motherhood is living in constant fear. Every decision you take is adjoined with a fear for repercussions and question,” Will I break my baby ? ” As much as I am amused by the stunned looks of admiration or astonishment that I’m still breastfeeding, it has been as grueling on me as it is satisfying. After all it’s a mother’s…
Commercial Merrymaking
So, yesterday I saw a few updates on facebook about why there is a woman’s day at all. While I too agree that wishing a woman ” Happy Woman’s Day ” is like congratulating someone for having ears, I think there’s some merit to celebrating these commercially encouraged ” Days ” . I don’t believe it’s to acknowledge the existence…
Women’s Day Celebrations
What does it mean to me be a woman? I am of course a vivid shadow of my mom foremost, whose taught me values of love, respect, hard-work and forgiveness. It’s from her I get my quirky sense of humor and the desire to socialize. My love for cooking, pampering those I love and her love for the arts and…
Sunshine & Shadows
A sliver of sunshine Through my window Falls onto my bedroom floor A spotlight in the dark Fascination anew to be the star of the show A finger grabs, fiddles with the afternoon outside A foot on each side Gingerly placed and tested Shadows flicker off and on Particles of dust dance on the tune of invisible air And we…
Waves of Life
Life is a wave that can swallow you whole And every stroke we take only takes us deeper still When it gets overwhelming and I am gasping for air You are there to hold me afloat Every single day I find a new reason To fall in love more and more Every giggle and chuckle we share Gives me strength…
