went to Queens to get a new blouse for Diwali parties and a Bengali auntie so lovingly said, “apnaar shouldaar boddo bodo.”


in Delhi in the 90s my grandparents bought a green washing machine in order for my grandmother to no longer have to hand wash clothes but she never quite trusted it so she used to stand over it with the lid open and hand wash the clothes in there while the machine spinned


It’s Diwali season, please look at my outfit.

my younger daughter is such a little man - anytime she does something wrong and gets gently scolded she bursts into tears and we have to comfort her


how on earth are people with kids managing to sneak in affairs? I could easily hide it from my husband but my children’s favorite pastime appears to be opening my phone and reading all my messages.


it’s time

Mikey had a routine but still not fun hospital procedure today and I spent two hours nervously pacing around the waiting room only to have the nurse call me and say, “your husband is asking you to bring him coffee.”
