Just like that!: June 2012

Saturday, June 16, 2012. Back to school 2012. The damn tv is now coming between me and my son! I think, if I divorce the Acha, one reason would be his encouraging the child in these activities. I’m becoming increasingly resentful of the fact that I’m perceived by Sonny boy to be the spoilsport who never has time to play games. That I’m the one who always takes him to task for things big and small. Or forces the Acha to take him to task. Jotted Just Like That. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, July 28, 2015. Sonny Boy, now in 6th standard, was reading his Civic lesson. . . And was reading that if people were not happy with their elected representatives they could change them. And then he did a double take- "but what's the use? You can only change them after 5 years, right? Right, my son, right. Which is why you need to be extra careful WHO you vote into power. And then he asked me- did you vote as you soon as you became legal? And then he asked- "did Ammamma also vote?

Friday, May 16, 2014. The 'Modi'fication of India. Election Results Day, and the country seems engulfed in an orange haze. Change, they say is good, and Indians seem to have taken this very much to heart. Like someone commented on FB, there was no Modi wave, rather, there seems to have been a Modi tsunami! All I can hope for now is that this tsunami spills well being and progress among the citizens, instead of destruction. But now that he has come to power ( And how! 3 I hope that economically and milita...

Thursday, October 25, 2012. Tirupati over the years. Room This was when I was in the 9th std. For Him , He'd take care of matters. That was really when Balaji gained prominence in my prayers. To cut a long story short, I finally got to marry my best friend, and we kept our promise. Especially a blogfriend I've never seen or spoken to even, only written to. God bless him! And that I should leave the next day. Darsan in place, cab in place, but - it was a working day and I had not applied for leave, as I d...

Wednesday, August 13, 2014. From Sarjapur Road to HSR Layout. Tarkaaaari, paypaaar, sopppuuuu, hoovuuuu. I can hear all the local vendors going past, and can run down if I’m interested. There even is an ice cream man ringing his bell invitingly as he passes by in the late mornings. which brought back memories of my childhood summers. The only thing missing was the nelakadala. To sit on, and the doors and windows have meshes, so thankfully very less mosquitoes, but once in a while, we do have a cande lit ...

Monday, April 7, 2014. Without you. . . Tomorrow will be the 40th day since you left us. Officially 40 days is a period of mourning for us mallus. I wonder if it ever ends, unofficially. . . Do you know that nearly every day when I get up and go to sleep, I wipe a few tears off? Do you see those tears, my darling, that no one else is allowed to see? Do you ache to lick them off my face and comfort me? But ah, there is no comfort. Only emptiness. About how they jump up till his knees, like you.

Sunday, March 24, 2013. Office is on Bannerghatta Road. From there to the Canara Bank HO is a ride not too many auto guys turn down. But yesterday was a day when we had 3 auto guys turn us down, two of them because they didn't know the way! For them not to know Hudson Circle/Town Hall/LIC HO, they must've been intern auto drivers. We were getting irritated waiting in the midday hot sun, when there turned up this auto guy. And then he took out a Kannada newspaper ( laminated) and gave that. There was no g...
