Sitting on my perch On this cloudy, misty day I look out at the sea In a confused sort of way The thoughts that I have Are weird but true The more I seem to achieve The more I want to do. Is it just me Or the greed of human nature Happiness is short-lived… {Read More}
Turning 40
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}
‘Tis the season to be busy….Fa la la la la, la la la la
Never-ending ‘to-do’ lists, Christmas shopping bazaars, constant watch for promotions and discount fairs, heavy shopping bags, lighter wallet, end-of-school Christmas parties, Christmas drinks, tired feet, sleepless nights – yes we are only about two weeks away from Christmas!

I let him go. Released his hand that I was clutching onto just a minute ago, as the minibus came into view. “Bye my love, call me when you reach, take care and don’t………” My instructions were drowned in the drone of the bus as my son hastily got on, giving me a big smile which… {Read More}

From MBA to SAHM
I wake up this morning with a sense of purpose. ‘I have to clean out the kitchen cabinet today,’ I think out loud. Besides I have an early lunch appointment with a dear friend this afternoon so I must hurry up, I tell myself. I march out of the bedroom with a sense of purpose, all… {Read More}
“Sorry ya, the line got cut!”
“Jis vyakti se aap sampark karna chahte hain, woh vyakti is samay vyast hain, kripya line par rahe ya thodi der baad dial kare” (the person you wish to speak to is busy at the moment, please stay on the line or call back later). The calm, soothing recorded voice played over and over again… {Read More}
