		<title>The Joys of being a WAHM</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The phone rings. The lady of the house who has now mastered the art of changing hats at the blink of an eye is not sure which role she&#8217;s gonna assume next. That of a friend, family member, architect, consultant or a pre-sales techno. While she takes a quick look at the caller ID, the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Social Networking for Kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My 12 year old niece sends me a message on skype asking me to sign up on Toondoo. When I ask her what this site is about, she says it&#8217;s a social networking site to create, share and discus comic strips. Create? Share? Discuss? At 12 years of age? I was tempted to lecture her [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The mother, in a very casual conversation, ends up telling the daughter there are mosquitoes in India. Daughter is excited about going to India, to meet her cousins and all. But not very excited to meet the bugs one on one. She is constantly trying to find a suitable solution..

		<title>Announcing the announcement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[!! We are moving to Bangalore, India !!
The reason for all this drama in the previous posts? Let&#8217;s just say I am a drama queen. Or that I wanted to wait till the tickets were at the least blocked if not booked.
&#160;
Why Why Why?
That&#8217;s the million dollar question. In my close to 10 year tenure [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Where were we? Drooling over the menu, right.. Soon enough, I caught the smell of roasted suji I left lying on the kitchen counter and came to senses that lady is not gonna give us samplers. Upma now sounded too bland, let&#8217;s just say we satisfied our craving by ordering chinese food from a nearby [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Birthday Celebrations - Part Unos</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dlittle&#8217;s burday party was a hit. The party was more for D, for my brother/SIL who flew from the east coast, and a few selected friends who matter. A low key casual party at a neighborhood park turned out  to be fun and enjoyable. 
&#160;
The party enthusiasm started when Dlittle&#8217;s maama and maami announced [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[says my blog!! 
I upgraded to the latest version of wordpress, as I have been eyeing on some plugins that work only with the latest version. The template I had does not work with the new version. Also, all the customizations[err.. experimentations] are throwing fatal errors left, right and center.

		<title>I can own a car, but cannot afford medical insurance.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was shocked to learn that 30ml of Zofran [vomit medicine] costs 110$. Thankfully, I have medical insurance and it cost me $10 as copay, but it makes me wonder about those who cannot afford medical insurance, or the one&#8217;s with minimalistic insurance. Their 3 year old is different from mine? Those 3 year old&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
