    House Help Disaster: When Dusting Turns Into Chaos

    October 16, 2025 /

    I asked my house help to dust the ceiling fan—simple, right? Handed her a telescope duster, pointed to the sturdy balcony ladder, basically set her up for success. Enter BS (BhagyaShree). Instead of following instructions, she perched on a low IKEA stool…on top of the mattress…yanking fan blades like a personal resistance band. Now my once-beloved fan squeaks, threatens to go airborne, and crash-land on me at any moment. Creativity? Innovation? Or pure chaos? One thing is clear: BS indeed. Nothing remotely Bhagya or Shree.

    July 28, 2025 /

At this point, if life gives me lemons, I’m just going to lie down and let them hit me in the face. At least that might clear my sinuses.

    Losing Peace, Finding Sarcasm

    July 26, 2025 /

    Some rooms hold ambition. Mine just holds me, a laptop with a crooked leg, and rain that thinks it’s important.

MERLYN MATHIAS

Truth-slinger. Word snob.
Chaos whisperer.
I don’t sugarcoat —
I serve the whole damn lemon.
Fueled by caffeine, side-eyes, and
2 a.m. honesty.
Too honest? Too bad.
