Skip to primary content. Home truths on non-career wives: What Chetan Bhagat ran out of space for. August 6, 2012. Turns out that after eating one-too-many bhaturas, Chetan Bhagat. Has a problem with the phulka. In his column. In the Times of India a few weeks ago, the phulkas seemed to me a metaphor for the homemaker, the stay-at-home mother or wife who, according to Bhagat. Has done a great disservice to her career/life by relegating herself to the role of the phulka maker. In which he seemed to imply ...

Just Me: My grievances :P
http://mymusings-nlak.blogspot.com/2008/10/my-grievances-p.html
Tuesday, October 21, 2008. One sunday, after listening to five sob-stories, I decided to call myself The Shoulder. No, really, that's what I am. The shoulder everyone cries on. On the same day, I also realized EYE don't have a shoulder to cry on, if I ever needed one. What do I do with MY problems? Blog them, of course! So, here goes- a list of my problems. They don't qualify as sob-stories, considering I laugh at them myself, but still. Problems are problems, right? The final straw- I used the copy mach...

Just Me: Saying Goodbye
http://mymusings-nlak.blogspot.com/2008/07/saying-goodbye.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. When are you leaving? You must be, like, sooooo excited, right? I mean, it's gonna be like, a new place, new college, new house, new friends. How exciting! I just smiled and nodded politely. The girl stopped gushing and went away, leaving me thinking, I am not. Excited. I'm many things- nervous, worried, apprehensive, weary, sad, confused- but excitement, somehow, doesn't figure in the picture. That I wasn't there with them. But I'm sure I'll be fine. Right now, I'm just glad,...

Just Me: Tagged!
http://mymusings-nlak.blogspot.com/2010/06/tagged.html
Thursday, June 3, 2010. Yes indeed, I am making yet another attempt to revive my dead blog. I know I promised myself I'd write at least once a month, but since when have I kept promises made to myself? Anyhoo, I did. Write a LOT of essays, and a few poems, even. But they were all on paper, and I. erm. kinda lost them all. So, for now, I shall respond to a tag. Tagger was kbpm. About the rest of the family, so I guess this post. Addressed to my parents, will have to do. My blog's title is 'Just Me'! If no...

Just Me: The dance of life
http://mymusings-nlak.blogspot.com/2007/04/dance-of-life.html
Friday, April 20, 2007. The dance of life. Why do you dance? I don't really have an answer to that question. Or maybe, I don't have any ONE answer. Dance is therapeutic (HEY! According to the NATYASHASTRA, an ancient scripture, dance, apart from being a good exercise to increase the strength and flexibility of the body, boosts memory and will power, enhances concentration, teaches music, history and spirituality. It also makes the dancer smarter, sharper, and is excellent for teaching basic math. Shiva t...

Just Me: Misplaced priorities
http://mymusings-nlak.blogspot.com/2007/05/misplaced-priorities.html
Tuesday, May 1, 2007. Indomethacin, isoniazid, methaqualone, metronidazole, misonidasole, n-hexane, nitrofurantoin, parathion, pentachlorophenol, perhexiline, phenytoin, stilbamidine, streptomycin, sulphanilamide, triorthocresylphosphate…. I groan as I bury my face in my hands. I’m absolutely sure I’ll NEVER get those names straight. At least, not in time for the exam tomorrow. I mean, come on! Triorthocresyl-whatever will have to wait till morning. May 4, 2007 at 10:46 AM. See what I meant? I just don't...

Just Me: Kid-ding
http://mymusings-nlak.blogspot.com/2007/09/kid-ding.html
Tuesday, September 4, 2007. I'm going to be away this weekend. Is it OK if I leave T (speaker's five-year old son) here? In spite of being a speech-language pathologist (well, almost), and 'in spite of being a girl', as some people like to point out, I detest kids. At least, most of them. A lot of my work centres around children; I don't mind children who have problems, but I DO mind those who don't. Have problems, but behave as if they do. And T is most definitely one of them. And with his fingers clamp...

Just Me: May 2009
http://mymusings-nlak.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 24, 2009. Okay, time to respond to a tag! 1 Is it cute when guys kiss you on your forehead? 2 A big poofy dress or a short party dress? 3 What would you do if you received a long love letter? Read it. But I'd really prefer a cute sms. 4 Group dates or single dates? 5 Do you hate it when guys act different around their friends? I guess it's normal for them to do that. 6 Are diamonds a girls best friend? 7 Is your hair up or down today? 8 Do you straighten your hair? 11 Small or large purses?
