The Musings of a Night Owl: Subbu Travels - A trip to Rameshwaram

http://mommyliciousma.blogspot.com/2015/05/subbu-travels-trip-to-rameshwaram.html

Monday, May 11, 2015. Subbu Travels - A trip to Rameshwaram. I have so frequently watched vehicles like this and wondered at the people in it. Wondered why they would get into something that looked a little precariously balanced, almost as if a wheel was off the ground. And so, what was I doing in that kind of a bus? He seemed to say. But this was another impulsive trip - to Rameshwaram- and there we were. Now, that was not mentioned anywhere in the ticket) . You will have to pay me right now. We were le...

The Musings of a Night Owl: Trying my hand at verse...

http://mommyliciousma.blogspot.com/2013/02/trying-my-hand-at-verse.html

Saturday, February 2, 2013. Trying my hand at verse. As I was blog hopping I happily landed at SRA's. Blog SRA and friends have started a group on facebook that has a common objective of writing on a particular theme each week. That was just what I needed to get back to blogging. I was also exposed to different styles of thinking and writing. It got me trying my hand at a bit of poetry. Something I had not done for a very long time. An edited version . I cannot do with all this fuss. Manju - Thank you.

The Musings of a Night Owl: Lasting first times....

http://mommyliciousma.blogspot.com/2013/03/lasting-first-times.html

Thursday, March 14, 2013. There is always a first time. Just too many to recall and relate. And as you grow older, the first times and the other times that follow, make these the experiences one falls back on. Getting on in years, some tasks are no longer done with ease. Can be more trying than the first time. I was rather pleased the other day, when I threaded a slender silk thread through a very fine eye of the needle in dim light. Perhaps it was the new pair of glasses! March 15, 2013 at 4:35 PM.

The Musings of a Night Owl: Nostalgia - travel by train

http://mommyliciousma.blogspot.com/2015/04/nostalgia-travel-by-train.html

Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Nostalgia - travel by train. It started more as a lark. Friends mentioned that the Indian Railways was extra kind to women. At 58, they could avail the senior citizen concession and that too a very generous 50% . This was peak season with school holidays and the only tickets available were the 1 AC. And so our adventure began. No At one time no vendor would have gone by without a purchase being made, but this time we carried homemade food and bottled water. I did notice a few plu...

The Musings of a Night Owl: March 2013

http://mommyliciousma.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Thursday, March 21, 2013. Out of Order is a sculpture by artist David Mach that is on the Old London Road in Kingston upon Thames. It is a series of tumbling telephone boxes that has over the years become an iconic landmark of the place. Kingston upon Thames is a quaint place. And at their Ancient Market Place one can spend some time browsing, sitting on the stone benches looking at the old buildings and taking in the architecture. I did a post for Indian Bazaars here. Thursday, March 14, 2013. But to me...

The Musings of a Night Owl: April 2013

http://mommyliciousma.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html

Monday, April 22, 2013. Home I have lived in my city for over 50 years. A long long time. So, I should not have any hesitation in calling it my home. But off late I have been asking myself where exactly is home? Where do I want to be? Eight years ago, our two daughters left home within a span of a week . Both got into courses away from home and that was the first time the house seemed empty! But she often flew down. That lasted three years, till she went to the US for her masters last year. A Blog on Cit...

The Musings of a Night Owl: A trip to Udupi

http://mommyliciousma.blogspot.com/2014/12/a-trip-to-udupi.html

Sunday, December 14, 2014. A trip to Udupi. The driver of the cab we hired from the Mangalore airport was elderly and I settled down to what I assumed would be a relaxed ride. But he took off from the airport like a rocket and brought us to our destination in the shortest time. I normally would have been scared out of my wits, but instead the two of us were looking out excitedly for familiar landmarks as we whizzed past at full speed. Each room had a story to tell. The front portico that used to be o...
