She came to us a few days before my third birthday. She was only a few years older to me. We were then living in Guwahati. Since then she has been with us. My sister who was around a year and a half then took to her hip immediately and it kind of became her …

Women and Food
How do you look at a girl/woman who loves to eat (I mean the quantity)? Not with kind eyes I am sure. And a boy/man? That's normal right? Women who love food are over-eaters and men who love food are foodies. Women are meant to cook and men are meant to eat, right? Huh! Nonsense. …
Celebrating Love
I feel Valentine's Day is overrated. St. Valentine must not have imagined that his act of getting young couples married would make way to his death anniversary to be celebrated worldwide as the way of love.People argue that why a day, 14th of February, needs to be singled out in the year as the day …
Guardian of Sentiments
I have often been ridiculed and criticized for insisting on careful usage of things and stuff. I get visibly upset when coffee mugs I hand-picked get broken or chipped, when people borrow my stuff and damage or lose them, when things are roughly used and the like. The following are snippets from different times of …

Parents & Children
Children are very selfish creatures. From the moment we are born we demand our parents' love, attention, time and even earnings. We steal their hearts and become their pride and weakness. Along with us, our demands also grow. We ask and ask, but they never cease to give. But we should learn to give back …
Love & Togetherness
Grandparents and grandchildren have always shared a special bond. To me my grandparents spell wisdom and love. I did not get a chance to know my paternal grandparents. My paternal grandpa passed away when I was a year old and grandma when I was eleven. And we would see grandma only during vacations. About her, …
Lovey Dovey–The Sequel
You might remember my post on turtle spotted doves (kopou) from last year "Lovey Dovey". This post is a kind of a sequel to that one. Well, the doves I wrote about earlier, did not stay long in their prospective nest behind my kitchen's exhaust fan. I don't know why. May be they found it …
