Code word that opens the secret cave of remembrance. Wednesday, December 05, 2012. Memories, I think, form cobwebs in your mind. And eventually, you will get tired of dusting those cobwebs.

Upsilamba: August 2008
http://upsilaamba.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Code word that opens the secret cave of remembrance. Friday, August 08, 2008. There is something about the rain, something in the rain. Maybe it is her force and power to unabashedly leash her sorrow, desire and longing. No one asks her why. Her heart brims in abundance, washing away all that she sees, all that comes her way, until she finally reaches her one true love. I am sinner, I am saint. I am the beloved and the betrayed. I have no joys which are not yours, no aches which are not yours.

Upsilamba: July 2008

Code word that opens the secret cave of remembrance. Monday, July 07, 2008. But sometimes, in our rush and hurry to satiate our egos, to decide who really was right, in our greed to outrun the other, we forget the Lil One, watching us from the corner. I catch sight of him, for a split second, his big beady eyes trying to decipher what's going on. I fail to register his face, lost in the war of our words. He okay-ed, laid down by my side only to sprint up a few seconds later and ask, 'mama, why? Years fro...

http://upsilaamba.blogspot.com/2011/04/in-memory-of-ashram.html
Code word that opens the secret cave of remembrance. Wednesday, April 13, 2011. In memory of Ashram. I miss her and my home. Monsoons were extra special. The greenery that surrounded our home, the Periyar that overflowed and gave a fiery look to her, the fury of the winds, the beauty of the rains- and to watch it all from our veranda - it tugs my heart and I ache for it. രാമൊഴി. Chithu: chumma kuthi-kuricha chila varikal aanu.engane o oru post aaayi.athra maathram. Happy vishu to you too, chithu!

Code word that opens the secret cave of remembrance. Monday, April 06, 2009. Tips for surving a student spouse, who is also employed full time. As a bonus, a toddler tails along (this is important). What a show off! For your sanity, befriend a fellow such mom. Misery loved company. They are still very much in love. If you happen to cross his Advisor on the grocery aisle, resist the urge to throw the rotten tomatoes. Be polite and ask if he needs help bagging some tomatoes. Reinvent your culinary skills&#...

http://upsilaamba.blogspot.com/2011/03/subterranean-thoughts-of-mommy-mind.html
Code word that opens the secret cave of remembrance. Thursday, March 17, 2011. Subterranean thoughts of a mommy mind. In three to four lines. I need to desrcibe you. Before I panic and wonder what I should write, I smile, thinking, had we gone with the original plan of Mr. Upsi doing the enrollment, I would have received an impatient phone call asking me to tell him on the phone what he should write. Oh the joy that awaits me. And I told them, that, you migh be the last person to raise your hand when ask...

Upsilamba: The inner conundrum
http://upsilaamba.blogspot.com/2011/03/inner-conundrum.html
Code word that opens the secret cave of remembrance. Friday, March 04, 2011. So much, so soon. But before the windy time sweeps away the dust of my memory, I thought I might as well put my pen to paper. Already much have been delayed and the orange hue of dusk vague my clear bright dawn. My lil one is no longer little; but a lanky soon-to-be five year old. Five years! A girl gotta dream, sistah! You think I am making this up and is in a mother's paradise? Again, you haven't met my son, sistah! That, they...

Code word that opens the secret cave of remembrance. Sunday, August 21, 2011. Tomorrow is also my first day at my new job.
