I think I have an uncanny ability to attract the wrong kind of company. The kind of company that screams and stamps its foot and incites you to consider all kinds of evil measures. I’m talking about children. (I could very well be a Miss Hannigan in the making, singing ‘Little Girls’ in my bathtub and … Continue reading »

Mean girls
When we were children, my sister and I hated each other most vehemently. We were two very different individuals (we still are, for that matter): she, a younger sibling (supposedly) struggling to step out of the elder one’s shadow and I, an arrogant fourteen-year old trying to keep an irritating sister from encroaching on my … Continue reading »
Home alone
My husband is away on a business trip. (In case you were wondering, I trust him implicitly, naive as it may sound. Besides, he can’t possibly get into much trouble where he is right now!) As much as I miss him when he’s away, I also savour the me-time I get alone at home. (I suspect … Continue reading »
Hair today, gone tomorrow!
Ever thought about the fact that a visit to the salon is fraught with many a pitfall? If I had a dollar for every grooming product I’ve ever been talked into buying in my life, I would be a rich woman indeed. (Well, I could treat myself to a fancy lunch at the very least!) Owing … Continue reading »
What people want
Isn’t it ironical that the things you’ve chased after end up in your lap when you least expect (or even want) them? I guess it’s something about trying too hard. Trying to force a square peg and all. Sometimes, you just have to ease off, sit back and wait for it. And prepare yourself. Because … Continue reading »
A day at the races
Last weekend I was at the races for some frock-filled fun and festivities. If you had asked me who the main contenders were or how many races were being run, I would have stared back at you dubiously (but radiant smile still firmly in place). On second thought, strike that because for the first time … Continue reading »
Mall crawl
So I was at the mall this weekend. I’d been intending to go for days but what with full-time work, the horrors of rush-hour traffic and wanting to be in bed by ten (pathetic I know, but my body isn’t what it used to be), mall crawling took a back seat and was finally set … Continue reading »
Tales from a hypochondriac
Over the years, I have diagnosed myself with several serious health conditions, many of them life-threatening. All of which were later proved to be not-so-threatening after all. Obviously, I blame it mostly on hospital drama TV shows, the internet and the vast amount of free information they have laid at our doors. Now it’s possible … Continue reading »
The heights of laziness
Without further ado, they are as follows: – Not wearing my sunglasses for the short ride from home to office because otherwise I would then have to fish for them in my overladen handbag and waste precious minutes wiping them and putting them on (and checking in the rear-view mirror if I look OK), thereby … Continue reading »
Spreading it thin
There are some things that I prefer to put off continuously for as long as I possibly can. Like buying new jeans. The last pair I bought was a Citizens of Humanity, over two years ago. They’re well-tailored and fit so snugly that I thought (or rather hoped) that I would never have to buy … Continue reading »
