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? Quite a lot, I would say. “I hate this thing!” shouts my 6-year old as I make him try out his kurta for Diwali celebration in school. The same… {Read More}
7 ways to beat the blues
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. I can hear the birds chirping, toddlers laughing as they splash about in the pool, ships sounding their sirens in the distance, a perfectly… {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}

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}
A rejuvenating holiday
Define ”Rejuvenate” – to make young again; restore to youthful vigour, appearance, to restore to a former state; make fresh or new again. That’s exactly how I feel after my recent holiday. I feel so rested, relaxed and at peace with everything. I can’t remember the last time I had such delicious meals or slept so soundly,… {Read More}
Why do I blog?
It’s midnight…way past my bedtime. My aching limbs are longing to curl up under the thick quilt, my back wants to stretch out in bed, and yet I am ignoring all those signals, straining my eyes to finish writing what I started. And when I do all the pain just seems to melt away as… {Read More}
