Have you ever performed on stage or given a speech? Of course I have thanks to my dad who encouraged me at every presentable opportunity. No, he didn’t groom me but he would come and let me know of competitions. I have participated in recitation competitions in English, Tamil and Sanskrit while growing up. My…

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises? Have you tried bobba tea? I am not a tea person so I just attempted the ice cream with bobba yesterday. With rain and snow mix we just did our physical exercise at the mall. Need to get the steps rain or shine. Activity my husband calls…

What is something others do that sparks your admiration? I love anyone who works hard. The trees do not have any leaves now. I see them with empty nests. I just realized how I took no care to observe them these years. These birds do their duty and expect nothing in return. They work hard…

What’s your favorite cartoon? I checked my response from last year and nothing has changed. My autistic son doesn’t like cartoon voices and we don’t watch any. I am fine with it. Maybe it is time to bond with my NT kid who would be coming home for the holidays? Maybe sit and watch with…

What could you do less of? Pitying myself! Yes, not to indulge in self pity party. Most of things are under our control. Things beyond us are not happening to us alone and it is for everyone in this world. Let me tell you it is not an easy task. The mind fools us so…

My mom called and asked what I was doing? I told her after a long day of Yoga, basketball and window shopping my body was in a horizontal position staring at the television. Morning began with yoga, yup and every week I get introduced to muscles I did not know existed. Today it was followed…

Do you ever see wild animals? If chipmunks, squirrels and rabbits that live in my yard are considered wild, I would say, yes they are my friendly (not so friendly) neighbors and I have a love hate relationship with them. All summer I see them! One time, we did call the gas agency since we…

Do you have a favorite place you have visited? Where is it? I was watching a video about Yosemite National Park’s half dome hike. I saw not one but two youtubers mention how friendly people were on the trail encouraging each other. Half done climb is a vertical climb on a granite rock. Even though…

The mall was not crowded yesterday. My young man was really happy to be there since we have been avoiding due to crowds the past weekend. He was scanning for junk and my eyes were scanning shops that sold girly stuff. Having boys and me not a person who is into dressing up, a lot…

What is one thing you would change about yourself? Two days back I watched the movie Home Alone one. Kevin’s mom rushed back to her child from Paris taking multiple transportation and undergoing so many obstacles in her path. As soon as she reached home and hugged her son, they hear a doorbell. They were…

Are you more of a night or morning person? Written for this prompt multiple times. Always not a morning person. Anyhow woke up to this beautiful winter wonderland! I am promising myself not to feel depressed that we are now in full blown winter so sharing some beauty Mother Nature threw at us. Remembering the…

November ended with me binge watching and trying to avoid shopping. Amazon kept popping ads like, click the button here to add the product to cart. Ha, I won and Amazon lost. Nothing much to shop for cyber Monday either. I don’t need any electronic upgrades or wardrobe changes. But there is tons of upgrades…

What are your two favorite things to wear? How about gold and cotton? My earrings need to be gold. I love any artificial jewelry but lately I can just tolerate only 22k gold. I still wear artificial jewelry but I keep itching on it. Cotton dresses make me comfortable. Even my winter clothing is layered…

What technology would you be better off without, why? I need pen and notebook to take notes. I need printouts of materials I am studying. I need a desk with books, markers and folders 😃! Google classroom, google sheets, notepads 🗒️ and online material I am not a fan. Yes, I can use all of…

What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? We didn’t travel this Thanksgiving week. Usually we would spend atleast one night outside our homes, drive a few hundred miles but this year we wanted to rest ourselves before and after the turkey trot. That meant the dishwasher and washing machine are running overtime…

Do you or your family make any special dishes for the holidays? Happy Thanksgiving to all who are celebrating the holiday! Autism and rituals do not mix. I think autism has a tough time with any kind of social event as it is hard with the sensory overload of noise and lights. But over the…

As a Gen X person, I am interested in learning anything and everything. I am not too old to say, “oh I am old” and not a Gen Z or an alpha to ignore something that is happening around me. Two things the past year has interested me. One I saw physically outside in parking…

Name your top three pet peeves. Interesting prompt. I now have to start noticing my pet peeves. Once at a movie theater my younger one was asked to stop eating his nachos since he was too loud by the person sitting next to him 🤣! A pet peeve of that person? maybe? Some people say…

The weekend turned out to be more than I wanted it to be! It was hectic and fun. We have been pushing our young man to walk fast so that he can make a mile under twenty minutes. He did it this weekend. Can he repeat the fear on Thursday? Time alone can tell. My…

What are your favorite animals? Got up a bit early but it was not time to be out of bed. My mind was like a monkey jumping over things that have been done or things to be done. I really just wanted to hibernate like a bear or a chipmunk but that was not the…
