Z for Zip, Zap Zoom.

I can only hope that if and when I have kids, they will recognize the hard work that Mommy put into making sure they remember alphabets easily.

A for Airtel, the network that doesn't work.
B for Bangalore Roads, they'll always give you a jerk.

C for Crap, your last resort when you are stuck.
D for Deep Thinking, to fool people when you are out of luck

E for Enough, life mein kitna hai kaafi?
F for Fussy Veg Eaters, they don't even drink tea or coffee.

G for Give Up, sometimes (only sometimes), it's okay.
H for Household Chores, question the stereotypes everyday!

I for Indian Cooking, it's much more than daal and roti bread.
J for Jo Jo, just go sleep on the inviting bed.

K for K Serials. Why the TV you should disown.
L for Lunch. Never ever have it alone.

M for Middle, you're halfway through, but there's half more.
N for No, when your Mommy stood for herself and swore. 

O for Old Memories, when you grow up, they'll amuse.
P for Pratham Sthan. Life is a race. But sometimes, it's ok to lose.

Q for Q, and queue and cue and Kyun.
R for Rafi, Lata and the Likes, music that's true.

S for Super Mango, the epitome of perfection.
T for Thank You, show the world your affection.

U for U, don't dare replace the You.
V for Vendetta, the worries about global warming are very much true.

W for Wonder, always look for the Twinkles and the Stars.

Y for Yawn, which you must be doing by now.
Z for Zip, Zap and Zoom, the post where Mommy takes a bow.

Phew. Done, done and done.

Not taking any more challenges on the blog for some time now. We'll stick to being regular, without challenges!

Thanks for putting up and for all the lovely posts you wrote!

Cheers!

Them 90s Things - 1 - iTV Music Channel

Starting a random series of all things from a 90s childhood, just so I have a record of these memories for posterity. Do you remember a channel called iTV?  The 1999 Cricket World Cup was when our extremely middle-class, government quarters colony rose to the challenge of cable tv. Till then, we were happily adjusting our antennas and watching wholesome family entertainment on the two channels of DD1 and DD2. Then came the cable wale bhaiya, with his fancy earring, a few TV guides stacked under his arms along with long ropes of cable, promising unlimited entertainment for the entire colony. And just like that, we all got lured. Cable TV bought with it a lot of changes, many of which I assume will get covered in this series. But, today's post is about 1 particular memory which every 90s kid can relate to. A huge letter I revolving on the TV in anticipation of a new song being chosen. Yep. The iTV generation. Not MTv. It was all about iTV. I still don't know what that channel was...

Letters to the Upparwalla!

(Wow! BlogAdda made my day! :) ) Prologue: I have been SO so SO so lazy, busy and blank, that I stopped writing posts altogether. But then, on reflection, I thought I owed this one to the unseen forces above. Hence, this post! LETTER #1 To The Gods Above, 1, "All Roads Lead to Heaven" Road, Heaven - 000000 15.06.2010 From Un Faithful Earthling Somewhere on Earth - Does the pin code matter? Sir/Ma'am, SUB: Complaint Regarding Services Rendered             This is to bring to your kind attention, the highly unsatisfactory services being rendered to me, not at all in keeping with the Contract signed during my release to the Earth.

Drumrolls and All That

In crass Hindi, this moment would have been aptly defined as "Laut ke buddhu, ghar ko aaye".  Exact translation would mount to "Fools return home" and that's what this post is. So, after taking a break from work, doing a second Masters, getting a job in Singapore and moving countries, I am back on the blog.  Who would have thunk? An year back, I had no idea this is what I would be doing in an year. But then again, do we know what we will be doing an year from now?  Lesson learnt. No planning, no guessing.  Just keep exploring, keep doing new things, keep learning, keep meeting new people. Things will happen. Trust. Like a fool (who returned home!) So, while I discover this part of my life, Singapore, I thought I need the blog more than the blog needs me. Because moving countries is not in the least as glamorous as it sounds.  There's the whole deal with selling all belongings which you have hoarded lovingly over the years. A...
