Health is Wealth

I now realize how troublesome it is for mothers to pack their kids lunches. Pogo is a fussy eater. So packing his lunch is one of my everyday nightmares. I decided to pack simple food that he would be able to pick off the box and chew directly rather than some items that may require...

In Sickness and in health

It is that time of the year when people in Chennai are confused about the weather. It is pleasant with light showers every now and then. In one of those showers, Pogo and I got drenched. (Cuz, we as Chennai-ites are hardly ever ready to handle weather changes). As expected, Pogo fell sick and has...

I-Scream Memoirs-2

Hot and humid is our everyday life. In order to cope with the fury of the sun, we often visit an ice cream parlor. Our visits had become so often, that Pogo has become a pro in identifying the shop. As the car neared the neighborhood of the ice-cream parlor Pogo began jumping with excitement...
