The tale of the mobile sale!
There was a time when I loved changing my mobile every time a new gadget hit the market. That was during the initial years of the millenium when mobiles were a new thing and every new model brought something different to the table. I waited eagerly for upgrades and innovations and used all my savings(saved miserly from monthly budget while in college) towards buying a new mobile. Nowadays, after the dawn of the mobile revolution, there are so many models that look almost alike; the motivation is lesser and confusion more but nevertheless, I still like to own a decent, value-for-money, good spec mobile and not the same one for…

True friendships stand the test of time…and revisits!

Parents, especially mothers, are often blamed for everything the kid does! It even gets irritating at times and you feel like shouting that you can’t really be held responsible for every action.

Well, parenting should have a few perks too, don’t you think? 😉 I…

Impact of Cartoons-Turning Disgust into Adoration
Who doesn’t love cartoons? We have all loved watching Tom & Jerry and laughed at their love-hate relationship. Somewhere, while sympathizing for Jerry, we fell in love with a creature we normally would cringe our noses at- a mouse! Yes, that is the power of cartoons. They convert even the vicious, scary or creepy crawly things into cute and adorable characters. I think that subconsciously it does tend to remove the associated phobias as children are exposed to these creatures in their hilarious avatars. Cartoons have a deep impact on children’s minds and this one sounds like a good one. 1. Cats are not cunning; they are funny and foolish…

Why don’t men ask for directions?
I love driving, I seriously do! I learned as soon as I could get a driver’s license and find the experience delightful. Being a woman, I discovered very early that no matter how well I drive, I shall still be eyed with suspicion by the males of my species who somehow feel that women make bad drivers. I don’t care about that but I do know one thing about the men behind wheels- they can’t ask for directions. I discovered this after my marriage when I realised that the reason we kept getting lost in every new city we went to, was not that my husband was lost in my…
