Thai High 14 Aug 2013 | 09:14 pm
So the Thailand trip to celebrate 10 years of marriage happened and I’ve come back with rather mixed feelings about the place. The plan was to spend some days in Pattay and then hang out with the rath...
Book Post 12 Jul 2013 | 12:04 pm
Please note how defiantly I titled this post. I am not going to put in any effort where titles are concerned even though all studies show that it is the title that makes or breaks a piece. Oh well, pe...
Celebrations! 9 May 2013 | 11:44 am
I realise I’ve really neglected this blog over the last year or two, so time to try and play catch up! First off, the Bean’s 6th birthday. She had just attended a dozen mermaid parties with fake curls...
The Brat turns eight 5 May 2013 | 01:28 am

Bijoy and the Big River 22 Mar 2013 | 02:45 pm
I think most of you know that I contribute (albeit erratically) to the Saffron Tree blog. It’s a privilege to be part of a group that loves children’s literature so much. And no founder Praba and ex-c...
Six years of Her Beanness 14 Mar 2013 | 10:44 pm
And I use the term Her Beanness, advisedly, because she’s quite a diva now. She likes the spotlight, she loves attention and she plays to the gallery. I worry at times that this might just hamper her ...
Book post time 12 Mar 2013 | 10:31 pm
Seeing Like a Feminist – Nivedita Menon If you buy one book this year, make it this one. Keep it by your bedside. Read bite-sized portions. I began to read this close on the heels of Jyoti Singh Pande...
