Arguments

What's with married life and arguments ? In hindsight some of the arguments may appear very trivial, about subjects you couldn't care less about, but at the time of the argument, they appeared earth-shattering.

Well, I am not going to write about my personal arguments and who got the last word here. But I would like to mention one of the best written articles on the web about 'things' a couple has argued about. It is aptly called, 'Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About'. It makes very addictive reading, so don't tell me I didn't warn you.

The books too are must reads. I haven't found a copy, but if I did, I will definitely buy them. If someone knows where I can find one in India, or order one online, do let me know.

What if ...

I have a lot of ' what if ' moments. When after a day is done, I revisit some gone by moments in my mind and keep wondering ' what if '. I am sure there must be others who also do this, but my ' what ifs ' actually don't let me sleep or think and I go crazy replaying the events in my mind. My latest ' what if ' happened when I dropped my watch in the mall yesterday. Jahnavi asked me to pick her up and put her down so many times that at one point the watch came undone and probably fell down. I noticed my bare wrist soon enough but then I was wondering if I had put on my watch in the morning ? So instead of looking for my watch there, I assumed that I hadn't. Of course as you must have deduced by now, I did put it on and now it is gone. ' What if ' I had just looked around at the time !! ' What if ' I hadn't just taken the easy way out and kept walking !! The whole scenario has been gnawing at me and I am unable to sleep. I jus

Civic Sense

I always keep wondering, when will people in India learn some civic sense. I have seen a lot of cities around the world, but none come anywhere close to what Indian cities can offer in the lack of civic sense. But then with many people struggling to even make ends meet, this might be the last thing on their minds. So I would excuse that strata, but what does the middle class and the upper middle class have to say for itself ? Even the so called cream of the society totally lacks any sense of responsibility of the community. Chauffeur driven Mercedes cars, and at the traffic light the driver opens the door and spits out the paan. The children and adults, roll down the window and throw out the wrappers and tissue papers. Is the city except for their own cars and houses a huge dustbin ? One would think so. Elevators.. in my own office. I have seen people not wait for me when they knew I was approaching the lift. All it takes is to lift a finger and press the Door-Open switch, or just tell

Child Space

We have been looking for a children's bed for quite sometime. When we were in Noida, we had seen a very nice bed at Lifestyle's 'Home Center'. It was the perfect colour and the right price, but as luck would have it, they only had the last floor piece and refused to give it to us. They told us Lifestyle, Bangalore, carried the same bed, and we could buy it here. So we went to Lifestyle, Bangalore, and the last piece was on display on the floor, and it was slightly damaged. We were really upset, but decided to continue looking. Since we are not familiar with Bangalore, we asked around and looked at @Home, HomeStop, and even the newly opened Home Town, on ORR, but nothing clicked. One day my husband passed by a shop and vaguely noticed that they had kids furniture. But the only name that he could recollect was 'Spaces'. I searched on the web, but found no store of that description. Finally last Sunday, we went for lunch at a friend's place and saw the delivery
