The other day I (Kester) overheard a father telling his daughter who was moving to a new class in school: "If you're lucky, you get nice classmates. If you're unlucky, you get annoying classmates lor." It was a hard-hitting reminder of our collective belief that how our relationships turn out...

A huge moth visited and stayed at our home for 3 days late last month. (Does anyone know what this species is called? Please reply and let us know.) IDK if it’s normal to see a huge moth of this sort. This is the first time in my (Kavitha) 42 years, I’m seeing a moth this big!!! I distinctly...
