For What It's Worth.: February 2013
http://musingsanddoodlings.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Tuesday, February 26, 2013. To my utter embarrassment, I started crying. This was one of the few moments where I had no idea what to do – go to her and give her some money, ask her what she needed and where she had to go, call up some authorities or just let her be. What would you have done? Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Ya, I am sort of short of words today.). So, I rushed back in, got one of these fancy bottles my sister had given me and generously applied it. Final...

For What It's Worth.: Charting Parenting Expectations
http://musingsanddoodlings.blogspot.com/2014/06/charting-parenting.html
For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Tuesday, June 10, 2014. I remember one of my friends once mentioning that she is planning to have kids. 8221;, I asked casually. She sounded surprised at the question. “Because I am going to be 30! Everyone my age already is a mother.”. 8220;But that really can’t be the criteria for wanting kids.”. 8220;You already are a mother. You don’t know the pressure we go through”. Hmm Before I start this post, let’s get a couple of things out of the way:. Of course, there ar...

For What It's Worth.: Pizza
http://musingsanddoodlings.blogspot.com/2014/06/pizza.html
For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Thursday, June 19, 2014. So, if my understanding is right, pizza has few basic rules:. So well, if those are the rules, I broke all of them, since this is what it looked like, and it was yummilicious! More importantly, the 3.5 yr old son ate three pieces of it, and liked it. So my day was made. Ginger: 1” piece. Basil and Parsley: Few leaves. Green, yellow and red capsicum: 1/8 part each. Balsamic Vinegar: 1 Tbsp. White Sugar: 1.5 Tsp. Brown Sugar: 0.5 tsp. Taking t...

For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Thursday, May 30, 2013. It started in 1853. 1853 was arguably one of the most memorable years in the world history. It was the year when Levi Strauss and. Tissot were founded. It was also the year when the Potato Chips were first prepared. Closer home however, 1853 was important for a wholly different reason - It was the year when the first railway train ran from Bombay to Thane. Crawled would be a better word - the train, Aag Gadi (How apt is that? Tanding: This in...

For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Thursday, October 24, 2013. 8220;It takes about 1 week to get over a cold if you don't take medicine, but only 7 days to get over a cold if you take medicine.”. I am sure you have heard that adage. I can actually see you smirking and smiling knowingly thinking about how some idgits take medicines. Now, give yourself one tight slap. Are you averse to allopathic cures? But cold, as much as it is common, can actually be tackled in the simplest of ways:. And again, make...

For What It's Worth.: The Sambar is calling!
http://musingsanddoodlings.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-sambar-is-calling.html
For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Friday, December 26, 2014. The Sambar is calling! As a family, we have had a jinx which was turning out to be a hard one to break – the jinx of no holidays. In the last 1.5 years, we planned, paid and cancelled five holidays. Five! It was getting to us, to the extent that we wanted to go on a holiday just to get it over with. After a lot of planning and replanning, the Tadoba safari finally happened. It was a gamble to go at this time, but happy that it paid off.

For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Tuesday, December 10, 2013. What is your taste of winter? For me, it tastes like spicy Pudina and muted Paalak. The winter has finally (FINALLY) started in Mumbai. In a la Ratatouille scene, the first chilly wind that hit my face immediately transported me back by 23 years, to a December morning in Delhi. The chills had just set in then, and my sister and I wanted to soak in the heat ( Sigh! The Sardi ki Dhoop. My most significantly insignificant memories include-.

For What It's Worth.: The intricacies of the side hug
http://musingsanddoodlings.blogspot.com/2014/07/the-intricacies-of-side-hug.html
For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Monday, July 21, 2014. The intricacies of the side hug. I can do a lot of things - a successful side hug is not one of them. About five years ago, I evolved from the arms-on-shoulder girl to a bear-hug woman. The sheer joy of giving and receiving so much love in a simple platonic strong-hold is so comforting. But, for the life of me, I cannot master the side-hug. There are a lot of mind-blocks attached to it:. It seems akin to air-kissing - the half-heartedness of it.

For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Tuesday, March 26, 2013. On one of the hottest days in Mumbai, I happened to travel by taxi to work. Since he had to stop the vehicle about half a km away from the building (road block or some such), the driver asked if I could walk from there. Now, this was never a problem in Chennai,. The land of the buses. So, I did what any girl would do - I went shopping, and got a phone with google maps. Take right. uhh. left.uhh. (touch shoulder to determine d...I could actua...

For What It's Worth. I also opine on:. Monday, January 7, 2013. So Ahaan, in one of his profound moments, looked at a lion and said, “Amma”. My attempts at gently correcting him proved futile, as he was convinced that the ferocious, beautiful (Ahem), intimidating and scary cat was indeed me. Few days later, I had to admit that he was bang-on. I did possess some liony-qualities:. So, I went on a rampage – using the insecticide, broom, utensils and sometimes, even bare hands, to kill them all. To the littl...
