Another day and another blogger’s prompt in my November attempt to write from other bloggers prompts. Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “starts with or contains ‘cel.’” Find a word that begins with or contains “cel” and use it in your post any way you’d like. Have fun! My younger one turned 18…

Scavenger Hunt
Today my son’s program met at the mall food court. My son loves the food court, but meeting and doing activities in the food court is not his passion. He loves to eat and that is the only thing he wants to do. So he had a mild tantrum asking for food when we went…

Tomatoes
It has been a warm week. The tomato plants have new flowers!!! By the end of next week, temperatures will be dropping and these flowers will not be able to survive. Feeling a bit sad for them. By the way tomatoes are fruits and not vegetables. I think this is one of the most cooked…

Detoxing
It was a summer like Fall Day. Is this called global warming? I do not know. But I really enjoyed my walk. Today I went to the park with my younger son. I did not take my phone with me.(I am a Mom to a typical kid too, and a car ride is one place…

Binge watching
This month I want to try writing to prompts provided by other bloggers. I want to write everyday but I am not going to obsess about it. When I saw Fandango’s prompt for today I thought I should move on to another blogger since the prompt was prison. Early morning I had no idea about…

Happy Halloween 🎃
I think after two year break , Halloween celebrations seems to be at an all time high. In fact my special one did a Halloween dance, went Trick or treating organized by his baseball group, had a Trunk or Treat at his program and attended a party with Halloween games. Almost a full circle of…

The art of cooking
I never cooked before marriage. My Grandma never allowed me in the kitchen and I never bothered to learn much. All my cooking evolved by having men in my house. I learnt every day cooking by compulsion and I can say I am good at it. My special one has very good taste buds ,…

Ganga SnAnam Aacha
For those who do not speak my language, my title today may be difficult to understand so please bear with me as I explain. When my neighbor asked me how I am going to celebrate Diwali or Deepavali, the Indian lights festival, I really did not have an answer. Nothing can duplicate the fun and…

collywobbles
My entire life I have had collywobbles for one thing or another. If a problem gets solved, another pops. But a year back, I decided to go on a clean diet. I was completely of oil for couple of months and then I limited myself to five teaspoons a day. . Now, anything that makes…

My next project?
So what should I do with my kid? How am I going to engage him next? This is a hard task, but let me tell you google and amazon know my difficulty. As I just searched one craft material, the apps keep throwing me links to other similar things. Some are expensive and some are…

A Fall Day!
After two busy weeks, I went for a walk. My husband decided to walk with my son and I took my time to take stroll on the trail. The trail is a constant for my boy, so there is not much anxiety. But for me, I noticed the leaves changing color and felt the crisp…

Hectic week
Today I was texting a friend saying that I couldn’t make it to her house this year for Navarathri. I told her we needed two weekends to finish rounding up everyone. She said, we need the entire winter to be Navaratri so that we are not depressed. I have already written a lot about rituals…

Reverse engineering and theme
As I start sending out my invites for my Golu next week, people have started asking what is the theme for my Golu this year? My special one has worked on a lot of things this year and just like last year I wanted to incorporate in my exhibit. But this year I want to…

Living in the present
We tend to carry a lot of baggages. Our everyday one is in itself so heavy. To be able to work on that we need to let go of some heavy ones like the past and the future. A nice illustration I saw on facebook. Weekend was great for my boy. We went to a…

Obsessive Compulsiveness
I have started my Navarathri set up in my home. This is not easy every year since my son is obsessed with things being in the same place. He is not a neat freak. He has his own arrangement and that cannot change. Yesterday with huge effort my husband with my helped moved a table.…

When the waves stop
I will take bath in the ocean when the waves stop. This is a common saying in my language when we do not do something or keep postponing or not attend to a current matter in hand. In our brains we are perfectionists. We need a perfect situation to execute something and that needs to…

Oobleck
I noticed I have been writing everyday since September 1st. As I was thinking what to write, I decided I am going to skip today since my day was going to be busy. My son had his program and I had to go with him. It was sensory day at his program. One of the…

Women’s Hostel
Yesterday I was watching an advertisement for an Indian talk show. The moderator was talking to a Mother and her daughter. The daughter who lives in a working women’s hostel (somewhere in India) was being constantly watched by her Mom. The Mother is so annoying she does not believe her daughter reached safely to her…

Onam
The other day my Dad was talking to me how our ancestors moved from Tamil Nadu to Kerala and back to Tamil Nadu. Long time back my brother who had sent out his dna sample got the report our original ancestors moved from Africa making a long journey to South India. Anyhow myself and my…
