Birthday blues, beaten black-&-blue.

When you get to a certain age, something terrible starts happening to you. And it keeps happening over and over again.

It's called "a birthday".

Typecast me not

Never thought I will say this, but I think I am a closet Salman Khan fan. How many other bollywood actors can claim to have played a buffoonish small-town cop (Dabangg, Dabangg 2) and a cool-cat super-spy (Ek Tha Tiger) convincingly in the same year ? I watched Dabangg 2 during Christmas week 2012 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The movie's simple format and common man lingo is both a delight and a relief after a string of flops produced under his family's production banner. Kudos to Salman khan for breaking the bollywood hero stereotype, stepping out of his comfort zone and deciding to play Chulbul Pandey: the crime-busting Robin Hood cop with a penchant for garish shirts and spontaneously breaking into loud song and dance sequences.

Mummification

This post is about an ancient Egyptian burial custom called mummification.
Just kidding. It is not. :)

Ok bubs, so we're 80% there. At some point in the past, I resolved to write a follow-up preggo blog when we got to around 32 weeks, and here we are.
