There's neglect, and then there's neglect. Yes, I am talking about this blog, which I figure has long given up the hope of ever bei...

Not just blogging, but reading had taken somewhat of a back seat, too. And now, that seems to be getting on track as well. Re-reading s...

Can a blog stare at you with distaste, for having neglected it forever? Or what seems like forever?  What can I say, but that life got ...

Changes, even when planned, can be unexpected. Take for instance, parenthood. Or rather, preparing for the l'il tyke to arrive, fro...

No way! *said in a nasal twang* The country woke up to a cringe-inducing clip on social networking sites recently, close on the heels o...

Finally! Given the dismal non-starter of a monsoon last year this time, heralding in the rains a few days ago (and pleasantly early to boot...

... Again. The lurid rainbow is back again, as...well, lurid...as ever. And deelish (of course). This one reminds me of th...

Do you recall the time when to get people to use online services, merchants used to dangle plump, tempting carrots? Yes, free gifts includ...

Have never understood this one. Maybe it's just me, but could you help? See, if I had to pay for it (the gift), it wouldn't be...

Or a book. Or two. Um, maybe three. Or more. And a similar amount of movies. The day just can't get more perfect, the day an Amazo...

While the title of this post may be generic, I guess I could amend it to say 'Why I Dislike Most Reality Shows'. Not sure how tr...

Belated, of course, but then that's just me. When is it that I've shared holiday pictures just as I've returned? God forbid I ...

When you sign up on a social networking site, isn't 'social' the operative word? I don't seem to understand all the br...

So I'm happily browsing my way through my account on a popular social networking site over coffee this morning, oohing and aahing over...

Not something we see too often. :)

Who'd've thunk it?! Before we knew it, 2013 was upon us, and even sooner than that, we're one week into the new year. Whoa the...

Not cinnamon per se this time. But cinnamon sprinkled on a coupla donuts.

You know how when you're on vacation you're trigger happy? I'm not saying it's a bad thing; I'm one of the gang. I'...

If you were, in your childhood (and much, much beyond, as in my case), you'd have loved this afternoon tea as much as I did. Her...

Then why is it called 'breakfast'? Why isn't it just a meal?  Sure, I get the point that maybe the items on the menu are...

That's where I was. This long, amazing vacation that (sadly) came to an end last week. Needless to say, I'm in denial that it'...
