A Superwoman!

"Mom I need a new bag" shouts my kid from his room. 

As I am in the kitchen preparing dinner, I frown and talk to myself, "Oh God, another TO-DO list." 

"Sure, we will get it this weekend."I reply back but then hesitate and review my schedule, "I have to go to Sports Basement for his cleats, and then his baseball game and then Target is in the opposite direction. Phew! that is a long drive." 

Mind your business!

Mind is a restless organ, and it can drift from one place to another in a jiffy. This drifting does not need the purchase of a ticket. The advantage is that we are ticketless, and there is no one to penalize us for it.

Silly on Sunday

Imagination knows no boundaries over the weekend. My kid and I were challenging each other with, "What IF"
So, the question put forward was, "What if the moon gave out lightening by just the buzz of the bees in order to generate some rain fall over CA?"

The above pix is inspired by our talk...Silly indeed!


Mantra for today: If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get

Love in Crisis

Distant sirens wake Sandra up. She is quick to jolt herself up on her bed, and her instantaneous reaction is reaching out to the other side of the mattress. But immediately something inside beckoned her, and it takes a couple of seconds for her to register. She nods as if somebody whispered the reality to her.



Earlier these kinds of alarms used to make her alert and helped her focus on

From Serious to Mellow...

This takes me back to the years when I was
working on my graduate thesis in one of the universities in the States.



It was like me, and my advisor was a match made
in heaven!

How not to live with regrets?

Let's face it...what we say or act today will be regretted tomorrow.






That moment when we tend to perform or convey without thinking or pausing tends to make us repent over the spilled beans.

How not to live without regrets is all about living in the moment but, how many of us do that?

Silly Sunday

Look what I captured today at the first blush of sunshine.

Cats, Pigs, Chickens, Spiders and Snails up in the sky.

Oh Silly me! Was it an illusion or do these creatures soar prior to dawn, and settle on earth when man wakes up?


Mantra for today: Living in a fool's paradise can at times tickle a sense of creativity.
