A Tale of Three Elephants
This is HUGE. My 3 year old just narrated a story to my 1 year old. It’s a tale of epic proportions. A story like no other. I am left spell bound by the simplicity of the plot and the magnificence of the characters. Story as narrated by Ryan: “One day, there eeees a Father … Read more
The Sticker on our Coffee Table
Ryan stuck a sticker on our coffee table. It’s a picture of a strawberry. A small, inconsequential picture of a red strawberry and it is stuck firmly onto my wooden coffee table. The sticker has no intention of budging on its own and I have no intention of removing it from there. I generally hate … Read more

A ‘Sine Curve’ Day
Some days are sine curves in terms of satisfaction levels. Things start off slow and predictable, then steadily get better in between and finally go hurtling down like those roller coaster rides called “Valley of Death” or something equally gut-wrenching. Last Friday was one such ‘sine curve’ day. I woke up in the morning with … Read more
