Whoever said age is just a number...

...must have been 22. In fact, I have personally passed on that indispensable piece of wisdom when I was 22. But 11 years later, I think I'm ready to snort at anyone who says that to me.

In case it's not obvious, happy birthday to me.

This has been the first birthday when I have felt like not doing anything at all. So it was like any other weekend. I took out Priya for a couple of hours, and we hung out at a game arcade. She was happy to push all the buttons and pull all the levers without any coins being actually fed into the machines. For the first time ever I was able to win in one of those mechanical claw thing-a-majigs that you position over toys and hopelessly see the claw descend, and then come up clutching air. But I was able to score not one, but two little toys. Priya was delighted!

There haven't been too many pictures lately, so sorry about that... We need to wield the camera a little more often!

Look how pretty markers look on my face!
