That baked cuttlefish is actually quite good? I tried it and it smelled and tasted so good that my vegetarian mum also ate some of it Now that’s saying something! Try it.
In the darkest hour of the night, when everything is still and nothing can be heard, the silence brings out the loudness in my mind.. I hear it more, the pain is more, the unsettled mind tries to find a little peace and a little hope to latch onto… How has life changed for no fault of mine…Or was I ...
We have had 4 dogs before the current one. My favourite was a grown up pom called Sweety that our neighbour gave us because they got a bigger dog. Sweety was always tied up. After school I used to take him for a walk, brush his fur, sit near the gate and watch people pass by with him. I also ...
She waited days.. days turned into weeks… Weeks turned into months… Would he be normal again… Would he txt something exciting.. something affectionate…. Would he call all the time like he used to… That’s all she had to be close to him… Nothing made her day than a nice txt conversation with him all the time, unexpected and expected calls ...
A 16 hrs power cut is not how I saw myself spending Saturday. All because a stupid container had crashed into a high tension power line. Thank heavens I had my tab. I played word games and read ebooks while melting away in the heat. Even my dog was dehydrated and constantly drinking water. And finally when I was about ...
I have been looking for a Dreamcatcher coz I really like them. I could never find one. Sigh. I was told that the Good Market might have but when I checked there was nothing… I want a Dreamcatcher!
Today, I slept a lot. Called a few friends I haven’t been able to be in touch with. Had constant company with my dog who slept with me and constantly woke me up when she was thirsty. Read a book by the balcony on a comfy old chair for hours and didn’t even feel time passing by… And was happy ...
I love doggies. it breaks my heart when I see them on the street starving or sick or old.. There are times where I have parked and gotten out of the vehicle and given my breakfast or lunch to starving dogs in the morning… After meetings I sometimes buy biscuits and yogurt and feed nearby dogs and a colleague once ...
Today I thought of you a lot. I don’t know why.. I miss talking to you endlessly and eating your yummy food. I miss taking you around in your wheelchair and driving you to temple. Most of all I miss how much you loved me, not forgetting the pocket money you gave me cz I’m unbelievably broke this month… I ...
I hate beans. But winged beans, I love! Tempered is best. It just makes the entire rice and curry meal so much better! However, I hardly get to have my papadi coz the dog stares at it till I offer her a piece and before you know it, those puppy eyes beg for and finish all my papadam. Sigh. I always get caught to this.
When we were too young, we wanted to be older. Now that we’re older, we want to be young again. At least I do. Gone are the days where we danced away at parties and weddings to Baila music and were surrounded by people allowing me and crony to dance coz they were entertained and old drunk wobbly uncles used ...
Study well, he said. Be better than me, he said. Save, he said. Don’t spend all your money, he said. Take care of your brother, he said. He’s not like you, he said. Treat people well, he said. Never take revenge, he said. Be patient, he said. Nothing comes easy, he said. Whatever you want, I’ll get you when I ...
There used to be a good class of English bloggers a few years ago. It was fun, entertaining and there was this online community that got along really well and respected each other and their writing. There was virtual moral support and sincere concern. It was also nice to meet some and get to know them and some still remain ...
Relationships have never been easy. It’s not supposed to be because it’s a combination of two people who have a different heart, soul and mind. But moving on was not this difficult. If things went south, she used to remind herself that she had goals in life, a good social life, friends who care and she’d move on one day ...
