umarpirzada@gmail.com (UTP) — Sat, 10 Oct 2009 09:37:00 +0000

mayG and I have been wannabe musical maestros in our own senses. We consider ourselves more than the average "bay-sura" (somebody who sing out of tune) and find ourselves singing casual duets...

Love-Struck Bakra!

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Thu, 14 May 2009 20:55:00 +0000

I’ve already cribbed enough about how romance seems to have taken a backseat in our lives.. add to that the Mr.’s ultra demanding job, staying back late at work, exam preps (he is sitting for another...

And then Life Happened...

umarpirzada@gmail.com (UTP) — Sat, 09 May 2009 10:56:00 +0000

I heard these two words from Mayg very early in our life together and just loved them. "...and then life happened..." She said it in a different context which I will get to but that also applies to...

You can catch the rare expression of UTP's *undying* love on his blog, mayG however was too busy with the kid, house and her design studio to join the mush fest.. oh well.. next year maybe!

Happy Bloggiversary!

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:18:00 +0000

Sigh yes, I admit I am fit for the “world’s laziest blogger” title and will not say a word to defend that. But today was kinda special so I thought I’d drag myself to type out a blog post. MayG and...

I just couldnt think of a title for what I wanted to say today. Maybe by the time I end the post, it shall become something else but at the moment as I write it is "Dreading the Worst". I dont know...

Let's grow old together...

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Sat, 18 Oct 2008 10:45:00 +0000

One of UTP's old-age fantasy is that we have a cozy little home with a tiny garden where the two oldies sit down in the evening, leisurely sip tea, hold hands and read out to each other. It has to be...

Marriage - The Realm of Darkness

umarpirzada@gmail.com (UTP) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 13:59:00 +0000

So I was in one of my lecture modes [which I am usually IN and very less OUT...] and it was a one-sided discussion but I came up with some MAHAAN [ulitmately great] words. So here they are in...

Whats in a name..

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 05:41:00 +0000

In case you didn't know, my real name is Mahjabeen. Its not some huge-ass secret and neither is mayG my blogging alias in particular. I've been known as mayG from the time I was a baby who'd drink...

I feel pretty...

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 12:40:00 +0000

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Fri, 29 Aug 2008 11:01:00 +0000

No ladies it’s not one of those SAHM rants about the absolute dearth of “me-times” in a woman’s life. So half of last week I was busy chasing a project deadline but it still managed to tumble into...

Happy Independence Day

umarpirzada@gmail.com (UTP) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 14:56:00 +0000

The following is not a political or patriotic post. So if you are looking for that kind of inspiration, I am sorry for the trouble of coming here. But I hope you do read on :) 22nd August 2008 - 8...

When UTP wears a mismatched tie...

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Mon, 18 Aug 2008 00:36:00 +0000

Yesterday was one of *those* days.. (being the desi wife that I am at heart, I will not venture out to declare that he acted like an *ahem* insensitive jerk) but you get the idea right? ..me? I got...

In you I've found my "happily-ever-after..."

umarpirzada@gmail.com (UTP) — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 07:10:00 +0000

I am going to let our readers in on a secret today. The secret to a happy married life. It is very simple. First a little poetry, Hum say badlo na tum, Tum say bandlein na hum Roz Chahay Zamana...

Spending Time with the Family

umarpirzada@gmail.com (UTP) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 09:09:00 +0000

I am supposedly on a Study Leave these days and it was a much needed leave after really stressful last few months. I think it was a quote from some movie where it said that if you are working hard...

Parenting updates!

Happy mothers day - anybody?

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Thu, 29 May 2008 12:10:00 +0000

Wondering if it's some desi guy thing or a universal phenomenon thinking a guys job in parenting is done with donating some swimmers for the baby-making process. Grrr! The worst part is, I get...

Wannabe SRK!

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:48:00 +0000

UTP and I have never been the sort to give each other many gifts... For him, the reason was that his every gallant attempt at trying to sweep me off my feet with an expensive present always HAD to...

The profanity quota of the day

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 12:31:00 +0000

UTP and I are not particularly the sort to use curse words left-right and center in between conversations.. Around friends I am honestly still a little easy with them but UTP is the cutest- with...

noreply@blogger.com (mayG) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 04:33:00 +0000
