Last week I was busy with some yarn and learning crochet. More about that experience later but while handling yarn, I learnt an important lesson. The yarn I had was all tangled with no beginning or end in sight. I had a partner who tried to fix up the mess by shaking it up. It seemed … More Handful of yarn and a life lesson
No, this is not one of those 404 errors. That site not found and the issues with a choppy internet connection. It’s time to celebrate a milestone. One fine evening and I don’t remember which one, I knew I was at 495 posts on happiness and food. The fifth from there would have been a … More A blogging milestone – 505
As I am typing this, Monday is almost over. A long weekend with a festival today and I did nothing over the three days. I mean nothing productive.

Be it a … More Life’s little stories

I recently attended a session and our well-read trainer shared this story about how asking why 5 times (you could understand the problem and find a … More Do you ask questions?
This morning I woke up to a situation. Ones that are never good to handle without an expert’s help. I could not dot the i’s and cross the t’s. Though I was paying attention, the keyboard refused to do as directed. No taps, hits or hard-hitting worked. With reluctance, I got the virtual keyboard up … More Of laptop and keyboard issues
I have written about these feelings before and more specifically why do you come here?

The blogosphere is full of talented folks from across generations, those who … More Self-Doubt #MicroblogMondays
