Read excerpt
I know I've been a little quiet.But honestly, I didn't even have the time to rant.The last ten days have been Ganpati, aarti, prasad, pandal hopping, getting the kids ready, getting them where they needed to be, and somewhere in between, preparing for the exams.Yes, my kids have their exams.But all the mothers know, it's not really just the kids' exams.We study.
