A drop of sandalwood oil, a drop of rose oil, ten drops of glycerin in a warm cup of water – it read. Dip your finger tips, wait half an hour. She always has the best solution to dry hands, my mother. Care. Yet when inside it rains, and she claps her hands, it is […]

Free Spirit
What’s there to not love about your favourite auntie? When free reign is only free as skin-deep is deep, when metaphors become allegories, Blues become happy and parents stand on the side stage cheering you on – as your free-spirited auntie stands with your feisty interests. What’s there not to love about a mouth that […]
Mommy Diaries: Familiarity and Illnesses
I always saw my parents stressing when I’d fall sick. That didn’t stop me from getting flu, getting into accidents, playing in vehicle impoundment yards, construction sites, electric generator rooms, and the list goes on. My question was: if the street urchins can, why can’t I? Why should their childhood be filled with dangerous liberty […]
War
Unpopular opinion perhaps but true to what I argue, problematic is not racism but colourism like “Et tu, …”! As women in Iran fight for rights, Aryan remains a misconception – greed splits human-race and hatred bonds us through fear. Beware, white-blacks-browns-reds-yellow, you’re all mocking and damning eachother – but hypocrites! Worse you do to […]
Mommy Diaries: #Grown-Up #Fun
“Are you materialistic? As an adult you can start making money. Are you civic-minded? You can vote. Do you want to drown the memories of your terrible childhood? You can drink. Do you want to make money, but in a faster, slightly more dishonest way? You can gamble, or buy a gun. You can also […]

Specialists divide these algorithms into two central approaches. The geometric approach focuses on distinguishing features. The photo-metric statistical methods are used to extract values […]
Mommy Diaries: Big #cat mom!
Here’s the deal about having a bite, pinch and pull hair baby at home right now – you look like you are a cat mom when you go out!!! My 5 month old started to experiment and explore his environment a bit earlier than foreseen… “6-12 months, biting, pinching and hair-pulling also help babies work […]
Mommy Diaries: You2.0
There’s one thing I learned during my divorce is that the person your husband or boyfriend leaves you for is usually not the person they cheated on you with. Atleast in my case I have a reason to believe that my ex (while still with me) remained friends with his current wife while he floundered […]
Mommy Diaries: Baby Blues
It’s been a while that I wrote on my blog. Life has been busy and I’m on a deadline to finish a short novel. (You can find the rest of my books here: http://www.debdubois.ch/) Did you hear that “a man whose job it is to help preserve Japan’s cultural heritage has accidentally smashed his car […]
Mommy Diaries: chocolate liqueurs!
Have to admit that I missed chocolate liqueurs so much that I kind of binged on half an assortment-box holding 10pieces. In case your math isn’t strong… I had 5pieces of chocolate liqueurs! Dunkle Schweizer Schokolade mit Likörfüllungen from Halba is just that quick cravings treat I like indulging in after a long day. And […]
