Snakes and ladder

Life is a game From begining to end. Ladders and snakes That's what it takes You go up to kiss, Or is it a hissssss! Dice you roll, Move and scroll Let the snake climb the ladder Cheer the adder!  Game over!

Rain in kochi

Rain on the tree tops, Rain on the roofs From pittar patter To sound that is Deafening me! 

Kochi again!

25th June!

- Can you imagine I will be thirty next year ? - Not me...I am stuck at 16 :) -Arre tumi to....... My conversation with Pooja as Chibu cuts the cake! Blows out the candles and grows a year older ! The phases in his life and ours are all so entwined. And the three of us wont fit in that boat anymore ! If there is any special day for me , it has to be the 25th June...It kind of changed me forever.

And Sheroo must have grown old and retired. And Simba is ready to explore the possibilities of life.... Cheers to that and a great year ahead! Fr 

The recipe !

Some cloud of spray and a few hours of foil wrap later, her specialist remarked " Ab to boss bhi khush hoga! " Eyerolls!  Now in walks this lady, all of two... Determined that she doesn't want to look like a boy. She is a bit intimidated, a bit curious and looked too cute with her mass of curly hair, which the grandmom declared is making her hot!  She was put on a plank to face the mirror... Fascinated she was preening at the back to back reflection. Then there was this drawer full of clips. Noticing me she offered me one. The scissors were scary, but she held on. The mother and grandmother, very much a part of the process as the little one settled in with the make over process. Girls will be girls... Just give them a mirror!  :P Suddenly remembered Chibu's first hair cut at the para ...
