It’s been more than four weeks since my previous blog post and I am feeling kind of restless, as if something is missing. That feeling is instantly replaced by a sense of accomplishment once I write a post and publish it. So I ask myself, is writing my passion? Can I pursue this hobby and convert… {Read More}
ME time
I am so tired! I wake up early each morning, more determined than the last to finish off all my pending chores and to plan my day better so as to get some quality time for myself. My kitchen door is decorated with bits and pieces of my attempts at getting organised. The school time… {Read More}
A coffee a day
Coffee cures….coffee nourishes …..coffee heals…..I can’t remember exactly when I started drinking coffee on regular basis, maybe in London, that was less than 3 years ago, and now coffee has become an integral part of my day. After my morning routine of dropping off the kids to school and jogging, I look forward to to… {Read More}
The poet in me…on a crazy today
I started writing this poem about a week ago, can’t believe it took so long. Much more difficult than writing a text. Hats off to all my poet-blogger-friends! Dear God, Once in a while After all your jobs are done, Could you please put the world On auto-run? I don’t know how to say this… {Read More}
The ‘joys’ of ironing
Yes I am talking about one of the most common household chore – ironing. Not that I have any childhood or adolescent memories to share on this topic as I only took up this task 5 years ago, just after we moved out of India. Living in Hong Kong, I did miss all our local… {Read More}
Freedom to breathe
This morning I had a double workout session. Double because I did my normal round of jogging plus I went hiking with a friend to Pokfulam Country park leading to the Peak Trail. The start of the hike is not very far from my house which is extremely convenient as I always have to be back… {Read More}
“You must start a blog!” insisted my husband
“You must start a blog!” insisted my husband. Now I know why. During my day there are so many things that happen, just normal things — funny incidents, some stranger on the road who is extra kind or rude with me, finding an irresistible Groupon ad, the kids saying something really cute, not being able to… {Read More}
I am ready!
Phew! Its been more than two weeks now since my first post, and ever since I have been working hard at getting the blog look and feel right with enough content to start off with my official visitor. Every spare minute that I had, whether on the bus, at the football field, during my sons’… {Read More}
While I was jogging…
It is amazing the number of thoughts that just come and fill my mind while i am on my daily (well…almost daily) jog. I first started regular jogging in England and i thank my then personal trainer,Nina to get me started. Initially of course you cannot think of anything but the aches and groans, but… {Read More}
A diary, a baby book, a blog
I loved keeping a diary as a child. One of those fancy girlish ones, to pour my heart into at the end of an eventful day or week. It was NOT meant to maintain any records, to work on my communication skills or to just while away time. It was just some place I could… {Read More}
