The Incident of the Frog in The Classroom

After all the talk about nostalgia in my previous blog.. I thought I would narrate an incident that happened back in college.. In the final semester...[;)]..
It was a boring afternoon class... Total Quality Management.. Our wide eyed lecturer trying his best to keep us awake while we were praying for the hour to end soon... After being reprimanded quite a few times in class, I finally decided to atleast pretend to take down some notes... I bent down to take a book out from under my desk... Thats when I caught sight of this frog looking at me from inside the desk... Suddenly all the boredom of the afternoon fled...
I looked to my left and caught my classmate dozing, pretending to be taking notes.... Things just couldn't get better[;)]... I took a paper and decided to grab the frog with it and throw it on him... Just when I grabbed the frog.. The stupid frog decided to jump on me instead...[:(]...
And the whole bench of girls sitting to my right screamed...
When we tried explaining the cause for the commotion.. The frog decided to hide itself somewhere... And no amount of convincing would make the lecturer believe us... [:P]...
Sad end to the story... We were thrown out of the class... All 6 of us...
And we happily skipped the rest of the afternoon class...[:)]

P.S: I looked for the frog(My Saviour(??!!!)) that afternoon... But never found it [:O]

My Mom Tribe

Joyous as parenting may be, it comes with its own set of "Oh my God! What did I get myself into!" moments. Being a mother to a child in this day and age poses its own set of unique challenges. Women are forced to take on more than they ever did in the years past. You are expected to step it up if you are stay at home mom and you are expected to be a super mom who has it all together if you are a working mom. You cannot win either way! Some of us are blessed with wonderful spouses who can share the burden and make life slightly less stressful for us. Some spouses parent together and some are together because they parent. Either way, the person who was your spouse is your co-parent. No fun there! In most working families, each of us face our own challenges with staying afloat and keeping pace with everything around us. Between ppd, mom guilt, work guilt and everything else that stands in the way of you enjoying yourself, there is one thing that keeps most of us afloat. I c...

A Beginner's Blog

A friend of mine argues people who blog are generally people who are bored and rarely have anything sensible to say... Well... I really don't mind being categorized like that.... Now that I have finally made up my mind to blog... I will just share my ideas about the few things in life that really excite me in the blogs to come... Actually.. I've been getting a bit nostalgic and decided to put down all my thoughts somewhere.. Not claiming it'll interest you however... My first interest.. Books... Have been a major part of my growing up... From the fairy tales by Enid Blyton. through her Famous Five and Secret Sevens... And then the Nancy Drews and Hardy Boys in the early teens... On to Agatha Christie's, Perry Masons, Sidney Sheldons and Jeffrey Archers... To The GOD Delusion that I am currently reading.. I have always felt.. A book that you read reflects your mental maturity at a given point and largely influences your thoughts, opinions, ideas, perceptions and moods. S...

THE little GREASE STAIN

Grease on a wall. Oppressive dark furniture in a semi-lit room. Endless abyss of idle time. An active mind. Madness. That's how the story began and ended. She was a neat freak and there was this annoying little greasy stain on the otherwise spotless wall. She spotted it for the first time, when she was watching tv one afternoon in that depressing little living room of hers, with its oppressive dark colored furniture. The blinds were drawn and the only light was from the TV screen. She hated the mid-day television soaps, but still could not resist watching them. Why? Because there was nothing else to do. "Well, its upto you how you use your time..", her friends and family would tell her.... The grease stain drew her attention again.. Did she imagine it, it seemed to have spread a little, increased in size by an inch. To be fair, she had been looking for work and catching up on reading for the first 6 months. But then, reading is fun, only when you steal time away from othe...
