Stake ’em With Steak!

Hot summers sometimes bother me. Feelings of boredom mingled with laziness and the desire to eat something splendidly scrumptious yet seemingly simple overtake my clan. These feelings are so intense and so demanding that they are set to – Otomahuk my utopian disposition of calm composure. The result is the invariable march to the kitchen – apron on, freezer drawn and cooking begun! Don’t mind […]

Silence and Stuffed Roti!

It all began with communing. The supposedly quintessential therapeutic technique of ‘talking it out,’ invariable became the very reason for the ultimate fall from glory. “Did God really say..” was how he began. Subtle. Deceitful. Satanic! It wasn’t late to walk away, but clarification and addition to God’s word made the way. “Not all the tress..but just that one..no touching or eating..” False assurance, lies […]

Eggplant Curry and The Gen. Z Syndrome.

Repetition yielded the favored response and my boys, this time,  remembered to pack enough water as we left for my sister’s place yesterday. We took a turn into the gated community, where we noticed a couple of young teenage girls with their lemonade stand.

The Lamb and His Love!

“In the beginning..” It began as a narration. A chronological account of the wonder of creation. What happened when and how. The how was so simple..unlike the innumerable, incomprehensible, yet over emphasized theories of the origin of Universe, which involve fancy words like ‘singularities’ and words depicting destruction, like, ‘collision’ and ‘explosion’ “In the beginning, God created the Heaven and the Earth.” ~Genesis 1:1 How, […]
