@virmani Fwiw, the next text was "We at least have a cape"

In the latest edition of Texts From @manasi: "Clearly, we need backup costumes."

Conversations with my 5 year old: Me: N, I love you. You are my sweetie pie. N (laughing): what!? I am not a pie. You can't eat me!! Me: 🤦🏽‍♀️😂

@lolding Me too! 🙋🏾‍♀️

One of my EMs recently asked me how I approached candidate sell calls and I realized that I have done enough of these to actually have a playbook. Here is what it looks like -

@aditishekar Needs to be replaced with a "I don't care, just take my money" button

This is outta control.

@sarerics Oh no, that sucks. hope you feel better soon.

@aasishp Hahaha, she's a huge fan of Kharam podi. Next up is Avakaaya!

@manasi May be adding some Gongura and Avakaaya too? 😃

I was telling my 5 yr old that we should leave some 🍪 and 🥛 for 🎅 because he'll be so tired giving 🎁. At which point she says to me: "How about we leave Dal(lentil) rice and Dahi (yogurt) rice so he'll get even more energy". Clearly I am raising her right! 😁 #SouthIndian

Oh jeez.

@thathoo How proud are you feeling right now?

Due to inflation a 10x engineer is now a 62x engineer. 🤷‍♂️

@sarerics @willowpump Congrats!

So vaccine mandates are an infringement of personal freedom, but abortion bans aren't?

It’s hard to see kids, young people in a cancer radiation therapy ward.

@lady_gadda Amongst many other things. But you certainly are the queen of everything baking!

I’ve got the sugar part of parenting figured out.

@lady_gadda What a mature thing for T to say. That kid just warms my heart. And A is too funny!!

My older kid to my younger one:“Everyone is a little bad and a little good.” Youngest replies: “No, I’m not good.”

@virmani @willplayforfood This is true!

@willplayforfood Exactly what I tried to do. Handed one half to @manasi and got a stink eye back!

This is what you get for trying to cut a cookie in two.

@joulee An ex-mgr said "Fake it till you make it". It was a game changer. It's not that I started faking it, but it was that someone believed in me enough to offer that kind of advice. It made me start believing in me. It's been an upward learning curve since then, upward being key

What’s the best thing a manager has ever done for you?

At long last we finally had a babysitter come over last night and our 4-year-old clearly forgot what that meant because he asked over and over when the baby was coming over.

4 yr old leans over my laptop as I am browsing a site to get some dresses for her: Her: Are those for me? Me: uh huh Her: Thank you! And after a moment's pause Her: Sorry, I don't have a laptop so I can't get you any dresses!
