The Case Of The Vanishing Voice
Come winter and like clockwork my health flip flops in spite of every precaution I take. This time it was just a scratchy throat. I thought it would become alright; I had much faith in my legions of white blood cells. The next day my voice had transformed into a deep throaty whisper reminiscent of… Continue reading The Case Of The Vanishing Voice
Blogversary Three in January!
January heralds my blog's third birthday. Hurray! As usual I mixed the dates of registration but WordPress didn't forget and promptly sent a congratulatory message. I was caught by surprise.

Long before Google and cable television came on scene, books were my magic portals that lead… Continue reading A bookworm’s guide to excellent reading…or not.
Chasing zombies!
I have zombies in my mind. No, I am not a 'Walking dead ' fan (stopped watching before I was hooked). Plus this supernatural creature is not easy on the eyes as compared to let's say the swoon worthy vampire, Damon Salvatore aka Ian Somerhalder. It is just that lately zombies are all over popular… Continue reading Chasing zombies!
A classroom tale
It was a kindergarten class and the children had just finished listening to the story rabbit and the tortoise. The hare was substituted but the story remained the same. I chanced upon them when they were about to discuss the lesson they learnt from the story. One could see the excited hands and… Continue reading A classroom tale
