Fiction is the truth inside the lie

 The cutest thing happened a few days ago and it went like this  "But then , how will I grow ?"  Before I tell you all about it, let's rewind a bit,  It all started with Potty Training I know mommies, I have your attention now ! I started potty training Little when she was about 6 months old.  Now when you have the second one, most of you may agree with me,   you just want to replicate your successes you had with your first one.  You see  , Curious trained pretty quickly, I started with her when she about 2.3 years old.  By her 3rd birthday she was night time trained , like 0 diapers  except on long drives!    I got a wee bit ambitious with Little . As soon as she started sitting up, I decided to start her training. First step of course was buying the right potty seat, thankfully this time I knew exactly what I wanted, I had only two criteria should be soft on her butt and damn easy to clean. I scoured the internet , chec...

Shane had been distant this morning he had rather left in a hurry, it was because of the conversation they had last night. Relationships aren't as easy at they seem it takes two to Tango. Its takes hard work and trust in your partner to get that imperfectly perfect dance routine that's just yours. She should know, after all she was once married . A long time had passed since her divorce, three years today. Raj and she went way back in time, he was her best buddy much before they got romantic involved. 20 year old's eager to explore the world, drunk on life, high on love. In times of doubt, like today, she would go back to those happy memories  its was her happy place, the one thing she wouldn't trade for anything in this world. She clearly remembered the day, they had been skirting around the issue for a while now, one of them had to initiate the conversation. As painful as it had been, it had to be said. Tears were shed, a lot was said. It was she who wanted the divor...

 We finally checked off "sledding" from our bucket list of winter-things-to-do-every-year! Constant reminders followed by accusations of-being-unfair or no fair  topped with  extra drama from a certain 8 year old for over a month now, finally forced us into making that trip to   Leavenworth .  The drive was breath taking,  It's like one of those stunning winter wonderland kind of drive that you always watch in movie   and what made it perfect was that we had a visit from Mr. Sun himself.  It was gorgeous day to be out. Fun have she did. Just as Yoda would say it. Its a different thing, that  the way back home wasn't as much fun, having being stuck in a traffic jam for over 3 hours! Was it all worth it ? You bet , 2 hours of pure unaltered  fun for the girls and dad alike!  This would be the first year since we moved to the States in early January of 2016   that we have hadn't had a proper snow fall well   definit...

 Time and again, you'll find this space filled with reviews of series, books, movies through my eyes, these are the ones that caught my attention ,enough that ,I wanted to come and talk pen about them .  This is my opinion, how I perceived, felt and experienced them. Strongly Today we are talking about The Undoing  limited American miniseries playing on HBO Max , based on the characters and the plot line (loosely enough) from the book called " You Should Have Known " by  Jean Hanff Korelitz .   I am team thriller. I'll choose thriller any day over other genres . I loved the series so much so that I decided to give the book a read.  The plot is your typical-murder-mystery. A beautiful yet poor this fact gets highlighted more often than not by the characters mother of two is found brutally murdered the details on how and who found her change in the book & series. What follows is a police investigation and unravelling of events that leads you t...

Hello! Happy  National Youth Day to you .  In all honesty, I wouldn't have bothered myself with this day,  (one more day in the list of ever growing days to celebrate)  had it not been for the those endless Instagram posts that flooded my feed today. Friends posting a photograph of their younger selves captioned  What I would tell my younger "youth" self?   Hashtag  #nationalyouthday Did you know, National Youth Day is celebrated every year on the 12th of January since 1985 to honor one of  India's famous philosopher   Swami Vivekananda . This day marks his birth anniversary and is celebrated in colleges and schools all over India.   I googled a bit about this day and right then and there I decided I to write about it. It brought back flood of memories. For the purpose of this post, I searched for the most acceptable definition of Youth, and here is what I found: United Nations—without prejudice to any other  definitions ...

"Losing respect for someone, is always a weird thing ,you don't hate the person, you just don't feel the need to ever speak to them , again or even think about them in the same way.  You are just done" How apt is this? Please raise your hands or rather give me a  thumbs up👍 (courtesy zoom meetings!). How many of you have felt this way ? One too many times perhaps? These lines are not written by me, but it resonates with me, as to how I have been feeling off late. It  summarizes the hell out of one those peculiar situations you find yourself in.  Lets put things into perspective.  I have a story to tell, rather a long arduous one with all the drama , one which I would love for you to read about one day. Not today , not in this post.  Here is the gist though, I met someone, got tad too friendly  ( no one to blame here, that's me ) , got tad too excited ( things just panned out pretty well between us  or so it seemed at that time ), got too carried...
