I have something or other to blog about every day! That is what my husband tells me. Let me tell you this was not one I imagined or planned. Before we went on Christmas break my son got a craft activity grow your own Christmas tree. I put it aside and forgot all about it.…

In between the dead of winter we experienced a heat wave the past week. It felt really good and we were outside during sunset. Yes, for a change it was not cloudy or rainy but clear skies to experience this beauty. Did the plant get confused? I saw these two leaves? 🤔 But I enjoyed…

What could you do differently? The mental and physical endurance needed to raise a “special one” is huge. I stumbled upon another parent who narrated her experience. I told her “been there” and yes had reacted like her. Yes, people around us keep pushing our buttons. Yes, years and years of managing a child I…

Everyone at the gym had earbuds. My observation the past few days. Everyone at the airport had earbuds. Everyone everywhere are having earbuds! Everyone are in their own worlds! Autism means being in their own world. We restrict our son with his music and headphones. In fact he doesn’t bring his music outside the house.…

Do you spend more time thinking about the future or the past? Why? If I think about the past I think about bad things that had happened to me. So I think a lot about my future. Anyway when I wrote this prompt in the past my thoughts always revolved around the food I need…

What is the greatest gift someone could give you? When we traveled last week we used all the disability services. We pre boarded our son and used TSA help to get security cleared up. We used his access pass to get into National Parks for free. When we had autism moments, of course you do,…

What colleges have you attended? Still attending the college of every day life. Isn’t it interesting nothing is taught in school regarding our day to day life? So many complexities and curve balls thrown at us. My experience even made as a book is not going to help anyone since another person’s experience would be…

We came back home last night after an epic 8-day trip to the desert southwest. It was during middle of Navaratri that I had booked a room at Joshua Tree National Park. In between a house full of dolls and guests, I was searching for a perfect place to stay and continue my bucket list…

Today is the shortest day of the year. It was kind of busy and didn’t feel any different. That said and done, I plan to take a ten day blogging break. I am going to be catching up on other blogs and commenting but will not be writing anything new. Should I do a roundup…

What was the last thing you did for play or fun? If drinking a medium cup of coffee instead of a small cup counts as fun I should say that is the last thing I did a few minutes back. Who knew I would become a coffee addict! I was a tea person and still…

List your top 5 grocery store items. I think milk, milk and more milk. Oh boy! That is what it has been the past few months. We were very picky about our milk before getting organic milk but I do not know what happened we are just running out of them. I do make my…

Describe a man who has positively impacted your life. Wow there are too many men who impact my daily life. What if I just mentioned one and really hurt another. 😀😂 Truth be told none of the men who impact my life care to read my daily blogs so if I just talked about anyone…

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago? I went back to look at this prompt what I wrote a year ago and I couldn’t find it. Usually December and January is flu time in our home so we predict about it. Added this year was some pains to my body. Boy! even…

What skills or lessons have you learned recently? The New York Times Games made the mini crossword paid one when I tried opening it today. I think they will slowly reel all the other games like Wordle into paid category. Lesson learnt, nothing is free in this world. Yesterday I opened a packet of beetroot…

What cities do you want to visit? I have answered this prompt religiously the past two years with different takes. Meanwhile I have watched videos of tourists in Tokyo, Kulalampur and Simgapore. Maybe my brain says these Asian cities are something within my reach to visit. Yes, Singapore and Malaysia has a lot of Tamil…

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you. All my life growing up I worried and worked for people what they would think about me. So at this point in my life I really want to live for myself and do things without worrying how I impress people. The narrative I want to…

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc. Hearsay narrative of my first day at preschool! The pre school was closed because of heavy rains and I pointed to another bigger school nearby which was open and said I wanted to go there. My dad carried me and…
