It’s been a while since I wrote. Haven’t had much inspiration lately. That’s what having in-laws at home does to me. I am on new turf now, completely at my wit’s end. Not that my in-laws are the evil saas-bahu type of people. They don’t make me eat leftover food or make me wash their [...]
I am a new products junkie. Few things give me as much pleasure as the act of discovering a well made product. I work in a field where I look at innovations day in and day out, stuff that’s not even in the market. So my radar is tuned extra finely when it comes to new products i.e. I [...]
HG and I finally have the house to ourselves. Feels strange. We haven’t had this kind of freedom since Feb, when my parents arrived from India. The last few months were a busy whirl. I feel like I did a lot but when I sit down to list the activities it’s like I did nothing. [...]
Friday was a weird day. And i don’t mean that in a Friday the 13th kind of way. I woke up in the morning next to my Indian husband and went to bed at night with an American. And it was really easy, you know. No awkwardness or animosity. In some ways you can say [...]
There! My cover is busted! I knew this day would come when I would have to reveal to the world how low-brow I am. Priya of Dreaming in Suburbia has included me in a book tag that’s going around the blog world. From what I have seen so far, people are reading some very important [...]
Yeah, that’s how it normally is. Life goes on. My miscarriage is old news. In the two weeks that I spent moping around the house, the earth didn’t stop rotating. Thousands of people died in China from an earthquake, relief efforts restarted in Burma, a crane crashed in NYC killing a few people, an Indian [...]
Could my luck have turned around all of a sudden? It’s true that good things were starting to happen in my life, like HG getting his citizenship interview call 1.5 years after we applied (for normal people it takes 4 months for the entire process.) I am still stuck in the system, but still, we [...]
My attempt at fiction……though not all of this is complete fiction. Some recent events spurred me to write this piece. Sorry for the thoroughly morbid ending.
S, you probably will never read my blog but I wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. May God give you and B the courage to [...]
Only 2 more days to go; my parents will leave for India on Sunday. And I can’t even get myself to think about it. I burst into tears every time I have to imagine a scenario without them here (and I assure you it’s not my hormones causing the crying bouts.) The thought of them [...]
You either have it or you don’t. And if you got it, unfortunately you can’t flaunt it. I am talking about facial hair, the bane of my existence. Don’t think I am exaggerating. There indeed are women who need constant help in this area. In my experience, there are three categories of Indian women (i [...]
