Ignoralculus

If I learn differential calculus partially, can I perform partial differentiation perfectly?

End of all races

Ever wondered why grey or white hair never tans in the sun like skin does? Melanin is so unfair!

Elusive cure for insomnia

4.08am: Using an improvised cleaning tool made from a sticky duct-tape stuck to the tip of a thin precision screw driver, I just managed to remove the tiny blob of dust and lint inside the headphone jack of my phone, which prevented the detection of the headphones. 
NOW, I can listen to some music to help me fall asleep!!

Curdled Savoury Donut

Enjoying a Thayir vadai on a hungry stomach and hot afternoon, must be in "the top-ten little pleasures of life" list .

Baby in a China-shop

Ever wondered why "baby proofing the house" is almost always used in the present-continuous tense?

Dilemma of A-Run

I would like to run quite regularly, but the problem is - quite regularly I do not like to run.

Getting cosy with Discomfort

When you are struggling, challenged or very unsettled, people wish you a calm and comfortable time ahead. When you are happy, contented and life seems to go smoothly, people tell you to come out of that comfort zone!

Inertia

A Parent's definition of Inertia:
Every body and everybody must continue to be in a state of rest or uniform motion along a straight line, while emitting unchanging amounts of sound, light and smell - till the toddler finishes his bottle of milk.

Half-duplex communication

"Listen to your stomach to know when to stop eating"
Great idea! But I cannot hear a word of what it is saying, when I'm having my meal !?!

Involuntarily Diet-friendly

உலகமெங்கும் பரவியிருக்கும் உயர்தர சைவ உணவகத்தில், 'சோலா பூரி' கேட்டேன், 'குருநிலமன்னர் பூரி' கிடைத்தது!

Creative disruption

The greatest weakness of very creative people or original thinkers, might just be their inability to follow utterly simple instructions!

Yummusic

Keen to introduce our youngest family member to music, I played a lovely melody in my phone in a quiet room and gave it to him. He stared intently at it, in rapt attention to the dual stereo speakers for a few seconds, and then went straight ahead and took a toothless drooling bite at it! So much for the consumption of art!

Stageflight

What's the term for those little kids who after weeks of rehearsal and practice, completely freeze or cry during their first ever on-stage appearance in play-school?

Non-performing assets

Brain freeze

When some people multi-task, they appear like hyper-efficient-productivity-gurus. When I try to copy that, I just end up being paralysed!

Vansquished

It's always a proud moment for any parent to witness their child overcome their fear of creatures of the dark night.

While walking ahead of us on the footpath in the garden, late in the evening, my little man pounced on a small creature and stamped it with his shoes. In swift decisive movements he squished the life force out of the poor thing.

He walked away from the van(s)quished as we caught up with him, and all we found was a dry, shrivelled leaf breathing its last!

I will continue to wait for the proud moment.

Unbanned

It was a silent but sleepless night.
A long train of thought comes to a halt-
In a primal station called Hunger.
That familiar walk to the dark kitchen.
An inner scream born out of despair-

" Why Maggi? Why did you do this to us?!?"

Dozza anyone?

If just plain pizza is called Marghe-rita, can we rebrand our plain dosa as Marghad-arisi or something?

Interstellarconnection

When a certain toddler always picks up the A/C remote control and frantically presses the on-off button making it go "beep bop beep beep beep bop bop beep..." you dismiss it as just mischief. But after ‪#‎Interstellar‬ I'm now suspicious if he is sending some serious Morse-coded message to a future version of me or some friendly alien, stuck in a parallel universe through the communication channel established via the A/C IR sensor...

Rotunda

அது கொழுப்பின் மிகுதியால் வருவதில்லை. கைக்குழந்தைகளை அழகாய் சுமக்க பெண்களுக்கு இடுப்பை போல ஆண்களுக்காக இறைவன் கொடுத்த வரம் தான் - 
தொப்பை.

La Caffeine

My preference in a cup of coffee is the most flexible: I like it anyway - with or without sugar, caffeinated or decaf, with or without milk, with (yin-yang) or without added tea, even with or without added coffee!
