So, I’m going to dedicate this post to all my non-mommy friends (NMFs) who I may not have appreciated enough. I strongly believe every mommy must scout and invest in at least one NMF. When I say non-mommy I include singles, both men, and women, and married couples who haven’t jumped the baby wagon, or those … [Read more…]
I don’t want to have it all. I really don’t. It’s too much pressure; not just for me, but for those around me too. I behave like a maniac trying to achieve my goals; imagine then if my goal was to have it all!Coming to the question – Can women have it all? I’d say … [Read more…]
Disclaimer – This post isn’t about gender equality. The Male flu – A dear friend recently introduced me to this one. I was intrigued with the term and thought about it many hours later, too. Over several cups of tea, coffee, and even brunches I distinctly remember having long-drawn conversations on this very same topic … [Read more…]
Let me begin by saying Bangkok never fails to surprise me – the people, weather, farang craze and the list goes on. So, Lil Z and I were having a lazy Thursday and somewhere around two p.m. I decided to make it a little exciting. We had done a lot of outdoorsy things the last … [Read more…]

So, last night we were invited to a house party (kids included) and I thought I should head to a salon and get a professional to blow dry my hair; make it look a little more presentable. However, given the heat Bangkok is blessed with I just couldn’t get myself to move out of the … [Read more…]
Today I feel like a brat parent – a parent who believes she has earned the right to whine, merely because she didn’t sleep through the night, I mean just one night in 365 days. My dear husband is travelling and I guess Little Z felt the urge to change her schedule, just for kicks. … [Read more…]
I logged into my facebook account this morning and came across a fantastic letter written by my dear friend, and now author Sakshama Puri Dhariwal. She penned an Open Letter to Karan Johar on the subject of homosexuality in his films. She actually called out to KJo – how cool! I must confess I am not … [Read more…]
Sunglasses – check; a favorite pair of shoes – check; bunny in tow – check. She has it all sorted before we step out of the house for our weekly grocery shopping at the corner supermarket. This supermarket is every mother’s dream. It houses a bakery and has a Starbucks cafe adjacent to it – … [Read more…]
