L&M (and the Brats)
The first piece about the L&M and the Brats was published in the now defunct Eve’s magazine way back in 1991 and subsequently in other publications including the Times of India, Delhi. The success of the pieces kept me writing about their endearing antics and the encouragement from the trio was heartening.
Of course, it is a different matter that if anyone had told me that they were ‘endearing’ at that point of time, I most certainly would have murdered them! The brats have long since grown up and flown the coop but every family boasts of a L&M. The trio would surely find parallels in every household. Their antics are endearing and sometimes exasperating but that’s what families are about, right?
Incidentally, the erstwhile brats have been threatening to sue me for defamation. Little do they know that I have a fat bill ready to slap on them for making them famous.
And the Lord? Well, he is smug in an inverse way: hasn’t his wife accepted that he is the Master?
I am going down memory lane to relive the incidents, but you bet they are relevant even today in every family and will remain that way for generations to come.
Man! this is one best thing i have came across in blogs ever…… The Title ROCKS!!!

The text has its own vastness. U are blessed with witticism … Solid and subtle text that peers into Truth. The one liners reveals the depth of his insight and the wideness of his outlook.
Writing or a poetry is a manifestation of reality .. rather reflection of ones character and personality. This is itself an indication about the Aura u must be carrying. And that same must have been transferred within the people around you.
I cant eat ur head each day and say please write more
lol .. but yes.. reading your expressions are nice.. so Unleashed thoughts..:)
Suddenly Remember Hemingway’s lines..
For we have thought the longer thoughts
And gone the shorter way.
And we have danced to devils’ tunes,
Shivering home to pray;
To serve one master in the night,
Another in the day…
I am smiling ( evil smile ) .. Best wishes to you. I know one of your brats
and I am sure he is proud to have a mom like you. simply rocking. love you
Thank you! I am trying to picture your ‘evil’ smile and have to admit it is rather hard to!
A request , hope u dnt mind sharing your Date of birth?. Let me know what stars do you rule!..
I tried to catch the wind,
But it blew away from me,
And flew into some wind chimes
To play a symphony.
The music was uplifting.
The trees all raised their heads.
The flowers did a waltz in their autumn beds.
I zipped up my jacket when this zephyr danced with me.
If I owned a sailboat, I would take her out to sea…
M waiting for the dob zephyr mum!
Share it with ur fans, so dat we can wish u atleast on the blog!
That’s a sweet thought, Ridhima, but don’;t be fooled. the zephyr has a nasty way of turning into a mistral!
This mum is a cancerian; explains why she suddenly starts walking crooked! dob, well, it is 26th june.
Thanks for sharing! Yeah I can surely read the language of wit and can sense How naughty this Zephyr mum wud be!
but certainly this Zephyr brings me sweet memories of the things I left behind. ( The Lord and the Brat series) esp.
It’s always a wonderful feeling to read here. Vinni D pooh accepts it or not.. He inherited all his writing skills from Zephyr mum..:)
I will make sure that your Lord , master and brat series becomes a HUGE hit!. D only thing we need to do it.. is increase traffic here.. Rest u can mesmerize anything with wonderful text.

I am simply paranoid about the internet. It will be sometime before I can venture into that realm. But thanks so much for being so enthusiastic about this (grand) mum’s blog! Comments like these keep me going for sure.
I am sorta afraid to know what my kids are actually doing!!
You are always most welcome Ridhima. I am glad the L&M series is helping youngsters to relive their own adolescent days.
Great! So that means your fans goona get more articles!!!…
And Lets see .. in which year you start tweeting too:) M optimistic kind of nocturnal creature, so never give up…
