Just another day, another page from mother-daughter diaries: A few days back I was having a regular “to/before bed” conversation with my daughter, who was as usual raring to go with her canon of questions. From her “Why, Who, What, When, and How” kitty she pulled out a gem that set my mind on a […]

Modification of an organism or its parts that makes it more fit for existence under the conditions of its environment: a heritable physical or behavioral trait that serves a specific function and improves an organism’s fitness or survival. merriam-webster The adaption chapter in school text book used to be my favourite when I was a kid. I used […]

I cannot describe the feeling, when I come across a person who can just “airlift” me to a whole different level, just by their sheer presence or a simple candid conversation over a phone line. Some of us call it having a deep conversation, I like to call them ‘intellectually stimulating conversations’ because not only […]

“Je parle Anglais?” which translates to “I speak English” but the question here is why there is a question mark if this is a plain statement. Well, to answer that I must take a few steps back into the past when I was a newcomer to the city of Brussels and the French language was […]

“How are your eyes, Amma?”, I asked over the phone. “No Amma, we are not eating much rice these days. We have limited our diet due to health issues”, replied my mother-in-law. It wasn’t that she had not understood my question. I realised that she had merely misheard my question. I repeated the query, this […]

I was a kid when I visited Chennai. I spoke Hindi at home and English at school. The concept of learning more languages wasn’t popular till then. And even if it were, I would have never learned Tamil. My father had tight business connections with Tamilians and visited Chennai twice a month. I was a […]

“Mom I have a doubt,” said my 6 years old daughter. “What’s it dear?” I asked, to be only left stumped by her question. “Why papa loves you when your face is full of spots?”. I am not even exaggerating, those were really her words. And I don’t blame her for she is growing up […]

We are all taught from our childhood to think logically. We have the IQ that is measured on basis of our logical reasoning ability. Logic is needed to win the arguments; reasoning is needed to justify our logic. Kids who are good with logic and reasoning often get into the best schools and eventually earn […]

Recently, while cleaning my favorite coffee mug it slipped from my hand and broke. I felt bad for a while and thought it is of no use now. But after a while, the Japanese idea of mending broken objects came to my mind. Well, I don’t have gold, so I used Feviquick Gum and fixed […]

“Broken ‘but’ Beautiful” Clearly, something’s not right-looking at the 3 above words. I tend to look at a word or a phrase practically from the point of the language first, after which on dissecting it further, will I probably look at it from a different angle, and even after looking at it from both the […]
A good selection of answers. To the usual set of questions, these things demand. I find, the new theme nice. For it fills up the whole screen. Yet one has to do a lot of scrolling, which I abhor, to look at it. That picture of berries, they look like cotoneaster? Is huge. Still congrats on your awards. You work hard on your blog and content … Cricket? Who knew, eh? Nice one! Cheers Jamie.

Thank you so much Jamie, your comment made my day dear. Yes, those are Cotoneaster Berries. I liked that pic for its HD crystal clarity. And yes, I agree that scrolling is time consuming. But no other theme would display everything that prettily free of cost. I would change to better when I have investments. I am glad you could see my hard work behind it all. I try to bring content my readers love. And yes, cricket. In India it’s practiced like religion. So that’s me for you. Hugs & kisses 😊🌹🙏🤗😘

Thanks, Sakhi. One thing about WP that i’ve noticed lately. Is they no longer tell the reader which theme is being used at the bottom of the page. Your previous theme I recognized, for I had used it also, at one time. Yes finding a theme that really works is difficult, I agree. I’ve tried many on during my brief time blogging. I’ve paid for them and I have used the free ones. I’m back to the free ones now. Twenty Seventeen might be a good one for me? Keep writing … Cheers Jamie. PS. I’ve played cricket in India. It’s ferocious. -J.

Thank you so much dear Jamie, for reaching out and connecting like this. Reading your comments is a charm, you sure got a knack of it. Yess, WP has so many themes, I forget what’s mine called and go to settings to check if someone asks about it. I guess right now it’s Ortis. I have tried to look in the paid folder, but for that amount I can buy a self hosted blog site. My last one was chalkboard. Glad to know that you have been to India and played cricket here. True, we play it ferociously as its not just a game but a passion we all practice religiously. Keep smiling and Happy Blogging. Do visit us again 😊🌹🙏
