Non-native + CELTA + Pass B = Possible!

This post has been inspired by three things: A) I got my CELTA certificate from Cambridge officially today. B) I read a few posts by other people on getting Pass A’s and Pass B’s. C) None of them was by a non-native speaker. For most of my faithful blog readers back home (the handful few [...]

Six months and beyond

I find it amazing that last year around this time, I was like a cat on a hot tin roof. Restless, jumpy and a little nervous. I was still waiting to complete my much dreaded MCA, and counting down months till my wedding. I was at times breathless with excitement, and at others freaking out [...]

Purring like a kitten in a well-scented room

Picture this if you can:  An amazing weekend that began on Friday midnight (which was the husband’s birthday, by the way) with an impulsive night out in Clarke Quay (Singapore). Saturday morning saw us (the husband, the sister and the brother-in-law and me, of course) rush to the movies to watch The

Nothingness

My life in the last three weeks summed up in one word.  In stark contrast to the four weeks before that when I was so busy I didn’t have time to sleep or eat or talk to people, these last weeks have been episode after episode of exemplary laziness. But then again, like I keep [...]

Gots Lots to Jots

So. The last time I took a break from writing was because of a particularly boring dry patch and I remember wishing I had a more exciting reason not to write. Well guess what, my wish did come true. For the very first time in my life I can say I was too busy to [...]

The Joy of Books

This whole post is triggered by one video. Just one. The video itself is amazing, and I especially like it since off late I have been kind of hunting down stop-motion animation videos. The music, which is exclusively made for the video is also pretty nice. But what made me sit up and write this [...

The Not-A-Mother’s-Day Post

While in school, we used to get a dark blue diary at the beginning of each session (I still remember the smell of the rexine cover it had) along with a flimsy booklet called the calender. The calender had a yellow cover and was the most coveted of all school stuff because it had details [...]

Love for Language

Did you know, that tucked in our brilliant brains are areas called Broca’s and Wernicke’s which take care of all language outputs and inputs? I didn’t know too. Until now. When I am compelled to look at these unassuming faculties in a whole new light. While I had taken these for granted before, I no

Of this and that

I can’t believe it’s been three weeks since my last blog post. I wish I had a dramatic reason for my disappearance, and I really wish I had an even more dramatic comeback. But truth is, as usual, a little lame. I had too many things on my hands to actually find time to sit [...]
