aalochane!: August 2012
http://myaalochane.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 20, 2012. The pursuit of perfection. As long as I can remember, there has been this need for perfection. Sometimes this is a need in me, and at other times, more often than I like, it is how others would like me to be. Perfection in an image, in perception, in love. Perfect mothers, perfect friends, children, spouses . Perfection even in expectations. That's when things begin to distort themselves. And things fail, one after the other. And see the miracles that is found in everyday life.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012. Don't mind the histrionics, That was just my blog reviving to life every now and then. Here's hoping 2012 sees more posts here, less status updates on Facebook, more news, less drama, more .whatever! Like my 9yr young wise owl tells me not so subtly "Practice makes one perfect, Amma", I plan to take my own advice very seriously! Btw that 'advice' was shot back at me when they proclaimed that my lasagna was not as good as my first attempt! Priorities, I tell you). Shivaashubhr...

aalochane!: a dash of color!
http://myaalochane.blogspot.com/2012/04/dash-of-color.html
Tuesday, April 10, 2012. A dash of color! When we lived in singapore, I used to walk, as much as I could. From where I came from, paved footpaths and green grass is a rarity, so Singapore was a walker's paradise. You suddenly chance upon a brightly painted building. It instantly brightens up your mood. These pictures brought back some fond memories. April 10, 2012 at 10:33 AM. This is really interesting…. April 16, 2012 at 4:11 AM. Mindblowing…………. April 27, 2012 at 9:37 PM.

aalochane!: April 2011
http://myaalochane.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 11, 2011. The sky of course. Poor joke, i know.but then if I've been hearing jokes of this calibre (courtesy my 8yrold and his friends) for the past few months, who says i can't inflict the same on you all? There is also a potentially hurtful one he's learnt.there are these letters written all over his body and you read it to one by one, and then WHAM! You get a slap.why? Because the letters read HIT ME! Yeah, there's a flaw in that one, but try explaining it to an 8yrold! In other news, my...

aalochane!: Ting-Tong, Just for me!
http://myaalochane.blogspot.com/2012/01/ting-tong-just-for-me.html
Saturday, January 14, 2012. Ting-Tong, Just for me! My doorbell is the most used object in my house. Especially in the evening, when my 9yrold is at home. He opens the door, waltzes into the neighboring house to pat their dog, and then 5minutes later he's at my door ringing the doorbell, again, to be let in. And the whole thing repeats itself 15 minutes later! I need to get skates, answering the doorbell would be such a rolling affair! And I fling open the door, and the mail guy meekly hands me this!

aalochane!: Cards and more
http://myaalochane.blogspot.com/2012/05/cards-and-more.html
Wednesday, May 16, 2012. This post is a long overdue one. The 9yrold loves to create stuff. Sometimes he does it by himself in a creative spurt, and sometimes it is brought on by me. In March, during their spring break, he had this brainwave to sell handmade cards. I sat down with him, and we drew, cut and pasted. I wanted to show him how we could up-cycle certain things available at home and create something useful out of it. Frolicking Fish (his creation). I love this very original creation :). Nm: do ...

aalochane!: Change of the right 'kind'
http://myaalochane.blogspot.com/2012/04/change-of-right-kind.html
Tuesday, April 10, 2012. Change of the right 'kind'. 8220;I cannot write anything nice about him, Amma, In fact no one’s going to write anything good about him. He’s very very naughty.”. This boy U had been the subject of many a dinnertime discussion. How U refuses to listen to the teacher and how he troubles the children! 8220;Surely you can think of something” I prompted. I loved this exercise that the kids had to do. It was not indicated what they could write, but almost everyone found it within t...

aalochane!: February 2012
http://myaalochane.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 12, 2012. There was a tough month last year, where I was the designated nurse to everyone's pain, ranging from a near slip disc to a bad bout of viral. Of course, since the Murphy guy was stalking me, I had to fall sick too, with a fever and the cold. Right in the middle of the14yr-old's final exams. Q: Why does the school schedule the final exams right before the christmas holidays? A: That's to make sure we have truly truly deserved the holidays! I'm fed up. That's It! What did you say.
