I have missed almost an entire week of blogging. Partly because I was sick but partly because my head was not in the right place. Does it happen to you when you are so tired that you just feel overwhelmed and everything seems like a chore? I get into that mode from time to time…

It is Mother’s Day today. I feel the whole thing has been too commercialised but the way I look at it is that this is one day you cherish the one who usually looks after the whole family the other days! My blog today is dedicated to the three influential women in my life. Let…

Winter is coming! I can feel it in the air and in my bones. I am getting older which means winter brings sniffles. I have been sick with common cold (which unfortunately has no cure) and only my daily dose of Lemsip is keeping me on my feet. This is what kept me away from…

The start of the week in our house is always crazy, coz we are busy on the weekend. So week starts a bit hectic! Monday was usual. Yash got dressed himself which was fab. We are slowly teaching him to be independent and he has started doing his own chores. I know it is not…

We have a saying in hindi – मन चंगा तो कठौती में गंगा। It means that a happy heart indicates you have achieved everything. I have learnt the depth and true meaning of it in the past year. When I was younger, I was very career oriented and materialistic. The top things on my list…

First day back to school meant my routine was shattered yesterday. I found no time to blog! Yash and I spent Anzac Day, last day of the school holiday, having fun and bonding at home. We watched movies, ate popcorn and chocolates and prepared for the next day of school. The only other thing I…

Lest we forget…….. It is Anzac Day today and whenever I listen or read the above, I always feel that it is not just about remembering the ones who have given their lives to defend the country but also their sacrifice reminds us that war is futile. It only leads to death and destruction. Love…

I made it to the half way mark this time! Woo Hoo! I have had my shares of ups and downs but I think I have kept my promise more or less. I hope to continue for another 50 days so that by the time I am finished I have tamed my addiction, if not…
