I just couldn’t sleep the night before! Kept waking up every few hours with an anxiousness I couldn’t explain. Checking on him, then checking the time. Midnight, 2:10, 3:45, 4:50, 5:30 until finally I threw the covers off at 6 and got out of bed! I know my son is well prepared – both mentally… {Read More}
“Just keep going Mumtrepreneurs!”
It’s not easy being a Mumtrepreneur! The word ‘Mum-trepreneur’ very rightly puts the Mum before the ‘preneur’. And that’s how it is actually in terms of priority. All our time, work and effort is first dedicated to keeping the home and family stable and after that only if we have some time and energy left… {Read More}
Hiking your way through CNY
At first I thought the sudden announcement about the early CNY holidays for kindergartens and Primary schools was a joke being forwarded around on a WhatsApp group, till it was actually announced by the school and I rushed to get our calendar from the kitchen to see what I had planned over the coming few… {Read More}
Mums@PLAY – a new beginning
It’s close to 10 PM. I have been lying in my bed for an hour, resting my aching back, soothing my tired calves, trying to shut my eyes and go to sleep, but it seems futile with that last bit of adrenaline still refusing to leave my mind and body. It is making my fingers… {Read More}
Studio City Macau – a big disappointment
Easter break in school – 2 weeks of bliss from the daily routine of school and activities. Best time to plan a good getaway from the madness and crowd, and yet for some unfathomable reason, we chose to go Macau. One tends to forget that Macau is nothing but an extension of Hong Kong. Same… {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}

“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}
Mumbai – the ‘sandwich’ city!
It’s 6:20 am and as I laze around gently swinging on the cane chair in my balcony, listening to the sweet chirping of the birds, feeling the cool monsoon breeze in my hair and the quiet solitude, it is hard to believe that I am in the city of Mumbai. Give it a couple of hours and… {Read More}
