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! Well, the parties and drinks might continue upto the New Year but the good news is that… {Read More}
Let him go
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}
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}
Diwali vs Halloween
Strange title eh, you might think. After all what does Diwali, a traditional Indian Hindu festival have to do with Halloween, the 31st October costume parade?

Its Monday morning. A perfectly bright, sunny day. Kids at school, husband in office, leaving a good part of the day free for me, to do what I choose to do.

“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}
A Family Holiday
One of the highlights of my summer holiday in India this year, was a short trip to a private planned city being built near Pune called Lavasa. This trip was more to do with whom I had gone with rather than the destination. I started writing about it as a narrative as usual but realised that… {Read More}
