There are so many ways in which I would like to start this post. Talk about beauty, experience, age, emotions, life, colour. Grey colour? Is it even a colour or merely a shade? Does it represent uncertainty or indifference, age or maturity, boredum or modesty? Not a favourite colour for many, certainly not mine and yet why… {Read More}

Let’s cut the story “short”
I feel “liberated.” That was my first thought after recently getting my hair cut short…really short, from my usual fairly long hair. And what a difference it made, not just to my looks but to the way I felt! Strange but true, I felt like a big weight had been lifted off my chest, as… {Read More}
3 days in New York
NEW YORK! The most exciting destination on our US itinerary for summer…for my boys especially as it was their first trip to the Big Apple City! We landed in New Jersey (Newark airport) midnight on Thursday after a direct 15 hour flight from Hong Kong flying over the Pacific. A great range of in-flight movies… {Read More}
Welcome to our world
Another day, another surge of hope. I struggle to manage my bags as I wait in the sweltering sun, looking for a taxi to take me to my destination. And while I may curse the heat, the wait and the fact that I am going to “work” on a Saturday, I can’t wait to get… {Read More}
Amazing Hong Kong
It’s 6 o’clock in the morning and my eyes open to take in the gorgeous colour of the early morning sky. The blues mixed with grey giving way to the yellow and orange tint of the early morning sun rising beyond the green mountains, birds flapping their wings soaring up high glad to start another… {Read More}

I have been trying to write about ‘Turning 40’ since the past one week and every attempt of mine leads to incoherent… {Read More}
Yet another birthday party!
“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear U… and F….., Happy Birthday to you!” Last Friday we hosted a combined birthday party for both our boys though their real birthdays were in the last week of March. Born 4 years and 2 days apart, we have always given a joint party… {Read More}
It’s Springtime folks!
With Easter holidays round the corner, memories of Easter egg hunts, decorating eggs and a beautiful spring in London come rushing back to my mind. We lived in London at that time and I was gearing up for the two week long Easter break at school. Not that I was dreading the holidays, in fact I… {Read More}
My summer holiday
Just before the start of any long holiday or a school-break, I often hear mums complaining about how they have a long holiday ahead and how difficult it would be to keep the kids busy and occupied. At the end of the holidays however when we are back to school it comes as no surprise to me… {Read More}
End of a school year…again?
This morning when I took my 4-year old to his pre-school I didn’t feel like leaving…so I sat there for some time watching him get engrossed with his surroundings, playing with his friends – the same children who were complete strangers to him six months ago. I can hear him share stories with them, showing off… {Read More}
