For the complex thoughts in simple words..

As I read through testimonials of arbit people on Orkut,I realize that they all have a strange thread of commonality across them.So,two people might be complete strangers to each other,yet they would have an almost similar thing written about them.All nice things ofcourse!Some of the most common things I have read are: 1.Came across as "x" but turned out to be a complete surprise later 2.Is a good shoulder to cry on,can advise you on anything and everything 3.Is different,not so much run-of-the-mill 4.Intelligent,smart,good fun to be with so on and so forth You can see these things appearing across most girls' testimonials atleast! It just reinforces some things I have always believed in - That people,by nature are nice.I mean,they are harmless most of the times,like to do good,stay out of trouble and like to follow what are generally accepted societal norms.This should explain why public places are sometimes considered the safest - you'd much rather ...

As I went to my regular grocer to pick up the day's vegetables, I found an aunty carefully sorting 'Bhindis' (ladies finger/vendaikkai) and getting the same billed. It reminded me of the day when I actually googled to search for 'How to sort good 'bhindis' from the not-so-good ones.

So then I got tempted to share this post on things that I or people I know have looked up "God-ggle" for answers. You will be surprised at the things that come up in this list 1.

How much TV time is ok for your kid? 4.When will I die? 5.What is the meaning of emoticon? 6.Can she be that st...

Every 2 years or so, I start a new blog. There is a lot of enthusiasm at the beginning. Slowly, life catches up and my posts begin to dwindle and eventually die. Much like my gym aspirations. This one is my 2018 attempt. Lets see where this goes :) Given that the pounds didn't get cut off my waist, I thought of cutting  some off my wallet. Yes, my goal for 2018 is to save more money. The prospects of making more dough is kinda bleak at this point - Dont plan to change jobs, marry(prefix a 're') a rich man or win a lottery. All I can potentially do  is to delete the Fashion apps on my phone, attend fewer of my son's friends' birthday parties or steal my husband's credit card with the CVV number. I dont stand a chance to become a millionaire in this birth, but as I was thinking through this, I wanted to share what I want to call 'My 11 money commandments'. Everyone has issues with money. The poor have less of it, the rich want more of it, and even the...
