I was updating my resume recently and after a bit of counting on my fingers, I noted down a total experience of 8.3 years. I felt kind of low the rest of the day, for apparently no reason and then it hit me. My college years were far, far behind me; I was not quite young anymore; I was, gulp, middle

One of my recent chain mail events with friends involved sharing a lot of cake recipes and pictures. It seemed everyone had contracted a baking virus, even the pregnant lady (soon to be mother of two, as she often reminds us). I read wistfully through all their baking adventures, wistfully because I
It has been two years since I started blogging.

For this, I cut my orange tea cake, applied plenty of orange jam on the slices and arranged the
She hasn’t forgiven you yet for forgetting her birthday last year? A few years back, your silliest jokes used to make her roll over with tears of laughter, but now she rolls her eyes at even your smartest remarks? She says she has a headache everytime you try to cuddle upto her? And she ends up say
