A gentle breeze blowing on a hot summer’s day. Sitting in my balcony with a glass of lemonade in hand, observing the fast moving traffic, the distant ships in the sea, the children bicycling down the path, the elderly doing tai chi…I started walking, walking down memory lane, to the near past and then to… {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}
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.

Within all these contrasts… {Read More}

My better half
“I can’t write any more.” I finally admitted it out loud as my exhausted husband walked in though the door after having a long day at work followed by a bout of rugby with his mates. “Its not that I don’t have the time or the energy to write, it’s just that I don’t know… {Read More}
Marriage vows
December 11, 2001, 10:20 I was pacing around, getting more agitated by the minute.
