[15] Bugged!

17Jan10

I had a tummy bug last week when hubby was working late. Incidently I hadn’t taken Pappu out for the whole day, so he had started behaving differently when my bug was at it’s peak. Well, it’s not fun when you are sitting in the toilet bowl and trying to catch your vomit in a [...]


I started the month well. I had a list of painting goals ready on Jan 1 just the way I usually have my business ones. Not to mention the blog, I had decided to do NaBloPoMo. All was well until the first couple of days I had a sudden tummy bug that stopped me from [...]


Hubby and I decided to stay up for monthly goal setting after sending Pappu to bed. So naturally, we left the lights on as we went for prayer time in our bedroom. After the last prayer was said, he promptly got out of bed, went around the house and instructed me to switch off every [...]


Pappu has been talking with a small girl (he calls girls bigger than him as akka) in my mother’s neighbourhood in india. He knows that his grand parents are living in india.
Pappu: mama?
Me: I’m right here.
Pappu: papa?
Me: he is here too.
Pappu: akka?
Me: which akka are you talking about?
Pappu: india.
When did he grow up so much?


Hmm, well!

What do people say when they reappear after 2 months of sudden absence? Hmm, well, the reason for my absence is….
Anyway, I don’t have any particular reason because the concept of ‘not having enough time’ doesn’t even exist. I just didn’t want to write even though I had quite a lot to write. My childhood [...]


It’s been long since I wrote anything blog worthy. I could go on and convince everyone that I had been busy doing things, taking care of toddler or consumed in painting. But that’s not the truth. I didn’t write because… just because!
No, I was not suffering from a blogger’s block. Could someone be having a writer’s [...]


In which I take the risk and use this space to vent about something that has been bothering me too much that I have to stand on top of the Singapore flyer and shout so that everybody will listen; as if telling the same story to my mom 10 times a day is not enough.
Okay, [...]


With all due respect, I removed my old blogs’ posts from this blog because it was only natural for blog posts to stay in their respective homes and not be scattered everywhere. Not that I’m not proud of my old blogs. Even now, I look back at my old posts and it brings a smile. [...]


We went to this familiar restaurant after a long shopping and seated ourselves comfortably. Just when we were about to order food, Pappu decided that he has had enough. He refused to sit or be in our arms and he wanted to run around. I put him down hoping that he would be having fun [...]


Today morning I woke up with a chest filled with phlegm. Okay, let’s not get into the details. But ideally this is not a day I should be using my limited “me time” to sit up and blog, except that I am!
This one’s for NaBloPoMo. I took out my camera and tried to catch some [...]
