My Christmas Tree
So here it is right in front of me. Standing tall, well…as tall as me, in its full decked glory. All decorated with tinsels and ornaments and glittering with a garland of lights. It lets me know its presence through its woody pine fragrance every time I pass by. And makes me feels happy every… {Read More}
I am a housewife
Name: Mehroo Turel Age: 38 years Occupation: Housewife I still remember my hesitation when I had to fill out the ‘Occupation’ field for a passport renewal form, two years after marriage. Housewife!

While I had said it… {Read More}

A wonderful evening
Wednesday July 17 I had a lovely evening today. Just like old times it was just the three of us at the dining table. My mother, my sister and I. We were having a simple khichri-sauce meal prepared lovingly by my mother. Post dinner we sat in the hall trying to work on a common… {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}
