It’s so strange that sometimes when you really want to write about something, when you try your very best to put your thoughts down on paper, nothing significant comes out. It’s frustrating! I have been trying to write about ‘Turning 40’ since the past one week and every attempt of mine leads to incoherent… {Read More}

Embracing 50 – A Celebration of Life and Growth
I’ve turned 50, and just writing these words fills me with emotion. Unlike previous milestones—turning 20, 30, or 40—this moment feels profoundly significant. While many around me celebrated those milestones, I never felt the same urgency to mark those occasions. Yet, this time, I find myself wanting to do something special with this birthday, celebrate… {Read More}
Noel
He came into our lives in the early morning hours of December 25, 2019. My son was sitting in the balcony sobbing his heart out about Santa not giving him “nice” gifts. True that I always go out of my way to make sure that Santa knows exactly what my boys want and true that… {Read More}

Help…. I have a teenager!
As a young mother I used to wonder what would it be like to have my child all grown up. What would he look like, how would he behave? What would he grow up to be? Doctor, lawyer, astronaut or a football star? Watching my baby wake up just then, rolling his head from side to side… {Read More}
Going Grey
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}
Hiking alone
While I love hiking with friends, hiking alone has it’s own set of pleasures. So this morning I decided to set off for a hike all by myself. I started off on a much-trodden trail going up to the highest point of Hong Kong island – The Peak. I was planning to go up… {Read More}
I am a housewife
Name: Mehroo Turel Age: 38 years Occupation: Housewife I still remember my hesitation when I had to fill out the ‘Occupation’ field for a passport renewal form, two years after marriage. Housewife! How much more old fashioned and passé it could get! I tried searching for ‘Home maker’ or ‘Stay at home mum”, or ‘Family… {Read More}
The baking of the Titanic!
This is my second post on the topic of baking after writing Introduction to Baking a few weeks ago. This cake was for my little boy turning 5 who had fallen in love with the greatest ship ever, after visiting a Titanic exhibition in Macau on its 100th anniversary. The Planning It was like an exciting, new… {Read More}
