This winter has been brutal. Before I say anything more, let me say—I realise my problems are first world problems because I have the privilege of staying under the comfort of a warm duvet, whereas people less fortunate than me have had to face this brutal winter in much more difficult circumstances. But in the […]
My husband, my housekeeper, and my dog—the three people I live with—will attest that my mania for watching sports this year was Olympic-sized (no pun, etc.). In the 16 days that the games were on, one could hear frequent shouts of elation, anger and despair emerging from my house. All from me, of course. I […]
I have the COVID fog. Just to clarify, I have not tested positive for COVID. Yet. I’m not unwell. I mean, not in the conventional sense of the word. But I feel like I’m under the grip of dense, COVID fog. Please don’t confuse it with the other COVID fog – the one people get after they […]

I realised today – à la the Starks – that winter is coming! There was a nip in the air in the morning, bathing with cold water felt like torture and it seemed as if the day ended as soon as it began (the sunset at 6.30 pm). Here it is – that time of […]
The simple answer to that question is – volumes! Yes, your knitting says volumes about you. I realized this recently when I saw my mother knitting. My mum knits fast and – in her own words – doesn’t mind if things get fudged up a little here and there. She often loses stitches between rows […]
