Do you need to have shared interests in a relationship?

Familiarity doesn’t always breed contempt, you see. It often makes for familiar comfort of each other’s quirks and even annoying habits!

When I played hide and seek with my family

It is a great challenge to hide things from the L&M and brats…

The ordeal of my garbage run

The L&M worries that some Corona virus might stick to my hair when I go out and since I can’t afford to wash my hair every day, I have to plan the garbage run meticulously to coincide with my hair-wash day. And that entails more planning.

…..And I don’t think it was Valentine’s Day

Romance can be found in the unlikeliest things–even in a warm bhutta!

Why (not) to be a perfect mother

I began realising that I knew nothing whatever of child rearing. I had been screwing up their lives, no less.

What’s in a name?

No wonder Shakespeare asked, ‘What’s in a name?’ He had not met the L&M you see!
