I missed my blog yesterday and I did it deliberately. I wanted to take a break from writing. In fact my mind was tired and I was feeling the blues, so decided to go into my own zone where I am not in touch with no one but myself! That helps me gather my inner…

As we are all adjusting to this new way of living, I wanted to write something different today. And the inspiration came from my work colleagues. Our director started a trend to ensure we are all engaged with each other while working apart. She created a schedule and every day a nominated person sends a…

An uneventful day today! I woke up worrying about something but I don’t know what. I think the uncertain times are making me anxious even though there is nothing I can do. A few years ago, I started training myself to only focus on what I can control. I have been consciously practising that and…

It is back and it is not a dress anymore, it is a shoe. One of my friends posted in our girlfriend group and we had so much fun with each other and our families. We had a pattern in our group, you tell me in comments what you see – grey and green or…

It was my first day back to work after 2 weeks of break and I must say, it was good to be back. I have realised that I am a creature of routine. I genuinely like working and a break every now and then is welcome. But prolonged stay at home, doing nothing, makes me…

Today was a tiring day – I was woken up by yash at 230 am this morning and after I patted him to sleep, I was wide awake. The only positive was that I chatted to my cousin in US at that time. It was good to chat to her and catch up on our…

My two weeks leave is coming to an end and I am not sure how/what I am feeling about going back to work. A part of me is excited about having a routine and brain simulation and a part of me is sad about additional stress and disruption in these strange times. We have been…

I woke up in a pensive mood today. I have been reading the positive comments on my old pictures. It reminded me the time growing up. Like a lot of Indian girls, I am dark in complexion. I was forever compared to my fair sister and made to feel ugly. The comments that I got…
