Everyone's been in some situation where they found it difficult to breathe. The sight of something excessively beautiful. Hearing unexpected news. The sight of the love of your life, to name a few.Have you however, ever found yourself finding it difficult to breathe for entirely different reasons? Let me ...
Cross roads. That's where I am right now. Different avenues leading in different directions & not knowing which one to choose.After lazing at home for months (and being a pain to everyone in my life) I still haven't figured what exactly I want to do. When I quit my previous ...
The wonderful lady who gave birth to me celebrates her birthday today. Here's to her!There is no doubt that she is the best mother in the world. Me, nangi & malli can all attest to that. She's a celebrated lawyer in our home town. Even though the life of a lawyer can be very hectic, when were little, we only ...
After Baby was born I've been kind of slack lately. I take care of him and that seems to be pretty much all I do. I've been told countless times by loved ones that I better get back to my usual self and not be a lazy, fat person who (in a moment of insanity) cut her own long hair ...
When I got married, after the traditional home coming was over, I remember the desolate feeling I got as I watched my family leave me with my husband’s family. It has all felt surreal up to that point. That moment when they all left, leaving me feeling all alone among people who were strangers to me, has been the loneliest ...
I rock my baby for a good twenty minutes and he finally falls asleep when my nose decides that it is the perfect time for a sneeze. Not just my nose, something always seems to get in the way of my baby's sleep. 1) He's in my arms and I HAVE TO scratch my back. 2) I close the curtain. ...
Someone really dear to my heart passed away today. When I was small, he would hold my hand and walk me down to the main road and wait with me for the school van. Sometimes he would buy me a seeni sambol banis.Sometimes when he came home after work, he would bring me peni appa.He let me study at his ...
One of Hubster's good friends visited us today. After a round of chitchat and tea the conversation turned to the word 'appachchi'. The friend's idea was that anyone is free to call their fathers any name they wanted, as we are one Sri Lankan nation and there should not be an up country-low country division. True. We agreed. There should ...
I was thinking up on my bucket list when I remembered my organ/blood donor dream.One I was reading the paper when a particular request among its pages caught my eye. A fifty five year old mother of five was requesting for a kidney from a benefactor. The reason why this caught my attention was because she had asked for a ...
So here's how the argument started. "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?" was going on the radio and I commented on the use of the conditional and how in those days songs contained proper grammar. This led to the question of if there were any songs which were grammatically incorrect. I said ...
Hi there...Remember I said darling left the country? It's been two months now.. I have moved in with my parents. I also have a little secret growing in my belly. :)I also have exams which started last week and will drag on till mid-December.But here's the deal. My getup and go has disappeared.

I have this habit. I tend to bitch about people. No. I don't usually use bad words, but in this case it's the only one that fits. If someone does something that I don't agree with, don't like, that makes me uncomfortable etc etc I talk bad about them with those who are closest to me. The worst is that ...
This is why I've been under the radar lately.Darling has left the country for greener pastures. While I know that he'll be back, and he will probably be back before I know it, I can't help feeling so desolate and empty..I'm back with my parents.. Dad has taken it to his heart to fatten me up.. :)I was supposed to ...

But then, most good things are. aren't they? I will add more, as time goes on.01. See aurora borealis My brother said ...
When I read the Valmiki Ramayana, out of all the pages in the book, one of the scenes that stayed in my mind was what happens when Rama and Sita see each other for the first time. I know that there are many renditions of the Ramayana. Even the love story of Rama and Sita has been told in countless ...
You are silent, like me. You don't talk much, You don't feel the need to express everything in words.You are silent, sitting here with me, on this park bench, under this leafless Oak tree. Between us there is no need for words. You just look at me.You have a handful of blueberries in your palm. The last bounty of an ...
so, this is going to be a rather mushy blog post. This is something that I should have done eons ago. At least I'm attempting now.. :)Where do I start?About 4 years ago, I was working at this particular "company". That fateful day both a staff member & the superior ...
It has been forever hasn't it? I meant to write. But couldn't bring myself around to it.The past few months have been crazy. My whole life has been upturned, turned inside out. It's still shaky. It's not all bad actually, but even good things in a momentous scale can be a little hard to digest.I will write all about it. ...
Lately I've been thinking a lot on what it means to be a daughter in-law and a mother in-law. While I will not have children in the foreseeable future, one can always wonder what the future will bring. And I'm more than determined that I will be a cool mother in-law.I suppose when a new person enters any household, a ...
