The Saga of a Smartphone!
“If you have never been hated by your child, you have never been a parent.” Bette Davis My first mobile phone was in 2002; a Nokia 3315, which was purchased from my internship stipend savings and from the monthly allowance that my parents used to send me. The purchase was born out of the need… Continue reading

Book Review : It’s Trevor Noah : Born a Crime
This book was a gift from me to my son last year when I had travelled alone for a training. I had purchased this from an airport shop in Cochin, India. My son is an avid reader and he always asks us to buy him books. He’s usually into fantasy and Young adult fiction, so… Continue reading

Book Review : I didn’t expect to be expecting by Richa S Mukherjee
I came across Richa during A2Z Blogging 2019. I saw the title “I didn’t expect to be expecting” and made a mental note to read it once the A2Z was over.

X – EXAM Fever
“Exams” How many examinations have you given? Does anyone remember? Right from the day we entered school, we had exams. I remember vaguely, unit tests, terminals and then final exams all throughout the school years. Board exams at 10th and 12th, followed by innumerable entrance exams for that one prestigious seat meant for you. After… Continue reading

W – Teaching Children not to Waste
The last few alphabets are the most difficult in A2Z Challenge. Towards the end, you just drag on because you have posted till “V” and you can’t just quit now, when it’s just last 4 alphabets. So, as soon as I finished writing for V, my mind was on an auto pilot for W. I… Continue reading
