  • 1. When you start using tissues from house cleaning to wiping ‘you know what’. 2. When you stick ‘stick notes’ all over your desk wall, your refrigerator for TO DO (grocery list to schedule of the day) things. 3. When you don’t venture out without checking the weather forecasts on weather.com for the entire day.…

  • It is officially spring in the windy city. After 6 months of chilly and windy weather, its a respite to see the sun and wind gods smiling on us mortals.  I was so glad to see people without their n layers of winter gear. Roaming casually in shorts and floaters. Families with kids streaming towards…

  • Cabbie tales

    , ,

    We have a monthly ritual of shopping for groceries. During which we shop like denizens from a famished region, set free in the realms of a super market. It was on one such trip that we realized, we had shopped beyond our holding capacity.  Sadly (in such situations) you can not go back to the…

  • GREEN day

    ,

    Oh no, its not about the “band” !! Am I that obvious ? For days, I had heard about the St. Patrick’s day celebration, and when the chance came upon me, I had no plans. My roommate was equally excited, but St. Paddy’s needs crowd and not company!! Last minute plans (this also included 3…

  • Actually I have no mood to write this part. Feeling too lazy. But as I had already mentioned about it in the earlier post, I can’t run away from the responsibility of giving my readers the updates about my ‘oh-not-so-boring’ life !! (yawn ….) The second day was marked with a bad start. People were…

  • The plan of spending fall break at Minneapolis started as a joke and in the swarm of mid-terms I did not even realize that, the fall break had already arrived. Thanks to my thoughtful and serious with her vacations roomie, we already had the tickets in hand.  Sadly the journey was overnight, so missed watching…

  • Wonder what are the benefits of living in a global environment (I mean actually surrounded by all kinds of foreigners..duh!!)?? For me it is the exposure to various cuisines. Specially if you know what you are eating, in short if you are a foodie!One look at me and the thought of ‘me being a foodie’…

  • First words!!

    ,

    Its every parents’ dream to hear his/her bundle of joy utter those first magical words in this mortal world! Ranging from ‘mama’, ‘dada’ to ‘camera’ (remember that joke from DCH ??) every word spoken is a new step for the child and a proud moment for the parent. I don’t know why proud, because it…
