“Next!” calls out the receptionist as the heavily pregnant woman takes another tired step forward and inches her way ahead in the serpentine queue to collect the admission form for her yet to be born child. Unknowingly the baby feels yet another jerk in the womb as she patiently waits along with her mother in… {Read More}

Just a week more to go
Can’t believe it’s the last week of school. Can’t believe the mad rush every morning, noon and night is about to end or rather pause for the next 7 weeks. I can feel the tempo slowing down already. After-school activities are ending, some already have. It’s the week of saying goodbyes to friends, teachers and to… {Read More}
All good things come to an end – Graduation day!
Its over! After all these weeks of waiting, practising lines and hearing snippets of what’s in store, Graduation Day has come and gone. A big word for a 5-year old and yet it seems apt that he had one. After all it is a big move from kindergarten to Primary! It helps to prepare the… {Read More}
ME time
I am so tired! I wake up early each morning, more determined than the last to finish off all my pending chores and to plan my day better so as to get some quality time for myself. My kitchen door is decorated with bits and pieces of my attempts at getting organised. The school time… {Read More}
Daddy
I don’t know where or how to start talking about my father. It is a subject that I need to tread upon with care, not because of how he would react after reading this post (cause he is no more in this world) but because I might not do true justice to him. I feel that… {Read More}

Happy Mother’s Day
Yesterday I was invited to my younger son’s school for their Mother Day’s celebrations – ‘Mother’s Day Carnival’ as the invite card said. Judging by the previous year’s celebrations I knew they would be doing something special for us and I was quite looking forward to it. But I had absolutely no clue about what… {Read More}
Au gong Guang Dong wa…..siu siu
This post was featured on the The HK Hub, a one-stop site for expats in Hong Kong on May 16, 2013. http://thehkhub.com/featured-posts/cantoneseclasses/ “Jo saan!” (Good Morning) and in walks my teacher jauntily into our brightly lit and tightly packed class. There are about 30 of us, from different backgrounds, speaking different languages, originating from different… {Read More}
Yet another birthday party!
“Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear U… and F….., Happy Birthday to you!” Last Friday we hosted a combined birthday party for both our boys though their real birthdays were in the last week of March. Born 4 years and 2 days apart, we have always given a joint party… {Read More}
Happy Navroze!
21st March. A day to celebrate every year. A time when I always miss my home, my colony, my city. I am a Parsi by birth and although my early ancestors must have been born in Persia (now Iran) before they fled their country to escape the invasion of the Arabs, I and most of… {Read More}
