Tagged by madmomma, I'm taking you through The Story of Me, through blogs.

The rules: Post 5 links to 5 of your previously written posts. The posts have to relate to the 5 key words given (family, friend, yourself, your love, anything you like). Tag 5 other friends to do this meme. Try to tag at least 2 new acquaintances (if not, your current blog buddies will do) so that you get to know them each a little bit better. Now don’t forget to read the archived posts and leave comments.

Well, my links are going to be on a varied set of subjects because I blog about a lot of different things and haven't really mentioned any of these specifically as the focus of any posts...Family - I wrote about my grandma here and here who I think is just awesome. There's a hysterically funny story from a summer back when I was in college. And many of my memories related to food and family.

Friend - weirdly, haven't really blogged about them. Did do a draft once, but it didn't read well to me so never posted it. But I will tell you that I'm lucky enough to have 2 BFFs/ soul sistahs and we've survived going from single-ready-to-mingle fashionistas to married to mothers who think they're well-dressed if they don't have a snotty towel perched on their shoulders with our friendships intact. Now sanity, I'm not so sure about!

Me: well, the whole blog/ blogs is me, dontcha think? Though, thanks to mummyjaan, I did find this one.

Love: Well, now, that opens up the floodgates, in more ways than one. I love books and reading, music, gardens, monsoons, winters, food, India...but even more, I love my babies, Chubbocks who's growing up too fast and Puddi - the urchin princess whose smile makes my day, and my better one third.

Anything I like - I'd classify that as posts which I enjoy reading over again or which speak about something dear to my heart, so I'll start with mother love and the issues of being a working mom, and about bringing up a mixed up family. I always think age is such a non-issue too. I'm really looking forward to our summer holiday by train after re-reading this. You can see what A and I look like here. And these are some of my favourite recent food posts: Secret sauce, Terroir and Chocolate.
