Last Friday we had a death in the family. One of my very close aunts passed away. She was quite young, in her early 60s, died because of cardiac arrest. On December 02, while doing her normal work at home, she suddenly complained of breathlessness, vertigo and collapsed. She was rushed to the hospital, spent… {Read More}
Walking in the Winter Wonderland
Can’t believe we are in December already! This year’s gone by in the blink of an eye. Seems like yesterday when we moved to Hong Kong from London. We have been riding on a roller coaster ever since. Settling down in our service apartment, making new friends, waiting for the school admission, hunting for our… {Read More}
Raising children or champions?
Last Sunday I happened to be at a mini-rugby festival in Hong Kong. My elder son who has just started playing rugby was participating and we were all very excited to watch him play. This was our very first mini-rugby festival and despite the slight drizzle and the strong wind, I was surprised to see hundreds… {Read More}
Short stories written by my son
Given below are two short narratives written by my elder son who is 8 years old. Unlike our Indian education system, school books are not sent back home everyday so I happened to read these in his English draft book during our recent parent-teachers meet. My Samsung Galaxy quickly helped me capture these stories before… {Read More}
Water fun in Chimelong Paradise
This photograph was taken during a water ride at Chimelong Paradise in Guangzhou, China. While the photograph looks like so much fun as you can make out from our ecstatic faces, I wonder if you can detect an element of shock or surprise as well? It started like this – we were standing in a long… {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}
Holidays….are you having fun?
The other day I was having a conversation about holidays with a friend, who mentioned how her husband loved to visit every tourist spot mentioned in Lonely Planet whenever they travel. While in a way that does make the trip interesting and more worthy of all the money that one spends in going to a… {Read More}
School is over for today
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. Their heads bobbing, their hair flying, their faces shining bright with glee. Some run right into their mums’ arms… {Read More}
English Vinglish – more than a review
English Vinglish – I saw this movie last week. Normally I watch a movie to take a break from reality and then as usual after 2-3 hours I go back to reality! But this movie was different, this movie was reality. Even while I was sitting in the cinema hall, I felt the presence of… {Read More}
