Unbelievable but true! Our summer holiday 2020 is officially over as kids are back to school today. Usually for me the last week of summer would be the busiest – washing the school backpacks or buying new ones, organising stationery, buying new uniform, shoes and socks included. Finally on D-day getting kids ready, packing their… {Read More}

2019-20 | A school year to remember
7/11 – That’s how I am going to remember this school year. My boys just moved to Year 7 and Year 11 in August 2019. We came back from our summer holidays in hometown Mumbai all rested and relaxed and ready to start the school year – a very important one, as my younger son… {Read More}
After-school activities – Finding the right balance
“Finally!” I sighed and put my pen down. It had taken me three full weeks to research, plan and finalise the activities for my children to do this summer. It sounds easy but isn’t so.

All set for BIG school now!
I called him “Dolly” in his ‘toddler-hood’ days as I believed that God had gifted this walkie-talkie, rolly-polly doll just for me to play!

Its 3 o’clock and the school bell’s loud ring is followed by the giggles and laughs of little children running through the corridors and down the steps despite the ‘No Running’ and ‘Walk Only’ signs displayed.

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}
Fear – A ‘Sab’ Story
If you have been following my latest posts on Linkedin, its all about the Sage vs Saboteurs, positive vs negative feelings in your head and how to conquer those Saboteurs (Sabs), to free ourselves from this unnecessary and often self-created torment of the mind. While I was sitting in the autumn sun, sipping on my… {Read More}
The ‘right’ time to get back to work
I recently coached a mom who after five years of being a full-time mother was feeling restless and lonely. She loved spending time with her children, giving them the right upbringing, managing the house, and yet there was a niggling thought in her mind that she should return back to work and that she should… {Read More}
