I was drooling at the sight of the chicken pattie in the caterer’s showcase in my office cafeteria. A plump colleague was remorsefully narrating how his parents, who are food junkies have to go under forced diet because they have been diagnosed with diabetes. He told me that he was giving up on eating goodies, [...]
I nearly had an anxiety attack when my male hairdresser was actually watching “run-out” while snipping away at my very precious fewer of the few hair.
I remember asking for crunchy fried rice in a Chinese restaurant and being served a bowl of onion sautéed puffed rice, for a ridiculously high price.
02:20 hrs: Boisterous thunder and impending showers wake me up. The day’s laundry is still hanging out in the balcony. I must retrieve the clothes and get them into the house before the downpour starts.
02:22 hrs: I am still in bed, procrastinating and hoping hubby will get up and bring the laundry into the house. [...]

My palm has a red, full-fleshy, dome-like Venus mount which strongly asserts my emotional and passionate (read, romantic) side. I have a broad soft palm, and long fingers with conical tips, which means I [...]
Marriage comes with its own set of “tackle-it-right-now” issues. From creatively planning the stuffing in the breakfast parathas to cruelly ignoring the heap of washed clothes begging to be ironed or stashed away; I am wrestling well with time-constraints and multiferous activities in my life. The one front that I could not tackle well for quite [...]
Have you every seen those fancy Australian parrots – exquisite feathers in exotic colors with that self-assured look on their queer faces? Well, if you can picture their expression and guise, you can picture mine, too!!
I have grown up with “bad-hair days” and some of the biggest catastrophe strike when it’s really imperative to look [...]
I hear the door swish with the push of her hand as she gingerly steps in, and I know its time to come back from la-la land. My husband is already out of bed - brewing the perfect early morning tea with a dash of ginger, for self and her. We three have our first [...]
