Witty Bean :)

So this is my first post in what is hopefully something I can keep going for a while! I've always wanted to blog/share my thoughts/rant about whatever is currently annoying me and I've done this whole "start+write a few words+ erase everything" shindig way too often. I also happen to have 2 extremely cute and crazy kids and half the point of being a parent is poking fun at them online :-)

So this time I will try my best to keep this an ongoing thing.Update with new posts and generally do what I've always wanted to do - Write with abandon!

Be warned : a lot of this will be about my kids or my love for coffee. So if you don't love (my) kids or a good mug of coffee ( how dare you!).....this will not be fun for you.But I hope you'll keep coming back and walk with me on this journey! I'll even buy you a cup of coffee ;-)

 :P

We've had 2 kids together, changed endless diapers, laughed together at baby toes and toots, bought a house, gotten our siblings successfully married (to each other!) and held down good jobs. We've seen euphoric highs, and we've shared some crushing lows which only made us grow more fiercely protective of each other.  I used to be impulsive, willful and headstrong. Thought I knew better. Thought I was this larger than life person with intense emotions and eyes full of stars. You know what my husband changed about that? Nothing! He still believes all those wonderful things about me and still looks at me like I'm the most exquisite woman he's ever laid eyes on. He celebrates my passions and holds me safe when life deals me a few b...

To err is human

There is a force on earth as strong as gravity. It holds us ransom, much like gravity does. But it unlike gravity, this force transcends time and generations, casting its dark shadow on entire family trees right from the root to the tips of unborn buds. This force - if it had a physical form; would be black and pulsating, knotted and hideous. It would scar everything it saw and ruin everything it touched. But despite existing solely in our hearts, it causes the same destruction. I’m not talking about a mythological force or a supernatural one. I’m talking about the real and very complex human emotion of prejudice. Or in simpler terms - hatred. Hatred starts innocuously. A passing remark by a parent/ a lazy comment by a teacher. A skewed TV show, a cruel act witnessed. But the child is listening, and the child is watching. And the seeds are growing into ugly saplings, birthing prejudices and intolerance. To an extent, this is unavoidable. And honestly, impossible to prevent....
