Days of Yore
The countdown begins. Ten days left. 10, 9, 8, 7.... and KAPUT. The end of mamma's freedom.
The summer holidays will be upon us.
Mamas are scrambling to get things done before they have to drag whining, wriggling little people everywhere they go.
So, the next ten days I've crammed in dentist, eye and doc appointments with the regular schedule. ...
22 Quirks of the Desi in America
There’s an old Indian joke that goes that when Neil Armstrong went to the moon, he ran into a Malayalee running a tea stall there.
That would have been a giant leap for mankind, if it were true. But it doesn’t discount the fact that Indians are everywhere.
Indians in America bequeath each with other half-smiles of ...
From Spring Chicken to Mama Hen
I just spent a good chunk of my morning YouTubing a how-to video (That's a verb, right? YouTubing?). It wasn't a 'How to Deal with Whining Kids' or a 'How to Bake Hot Cross Buns for Easter' video. It was somewhat less noble. It was a tutorial. On how to apply mascara.
A sweet young thing earnestly expounded the intricacies of ...
15 Signs I’m Married to a Techie
It works most of the time - he's the yin to my yang, the creamer to my coffee, the salsa to my chips.
But sometimes I just look at my hubbers and go, "Really?!"
He loves his devices and would use a tablet as a pillow, if I let him. When I think of tablets, on the other ...
From the Outside Looking In
Wow, these squirrels are as big as cats in India. That was one of my first reactions when I came to America as an eager grad student in the early 2000s. Everything was bigger, brighter and faster.
I hadn't stepped foot outside India before then. But I knew all about American culture - what was cable ...
8 Surprising Reasons I’m Not Skinny
I exercise. I've done Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred at least 30 times. I've not emerged shredded.
Maybe I shouldn't have spread those 30 workouts over, say, 365 days. Really, though, Jillian should be more accurate about this shredding business.
Soon, spring cleaning will edge out my already non-existent workout routine. I'm one of those who gets an endorphin rush ...
Mama Mama, Valentine Drama (inspired by the Llama Llama series ;))
There's love in the air - or so it's been said,
But for mommies out there, hearts fill with dread.
Get on Pinterest for the perfect Valentine pun,
Need a nap, but have to make a candy run.
This year we'll make our very own cards,
On occasion, mommies too can be bards.
Our cards will say: "There's no one Elsa like ...
Why a Trip to the DMV is Just What the Doctor Ordered
The DMV has been regularly cast as a black hole which sucks the prime years out of you. There are reports that they make you wait for so long the next day's stubble starts growing in (if you're a guy that is... generally speaking, of course).
But it behooves me to speak up for the department responsible ...
