My stories, My way
One month has passed in 2025. Time never stops and it is the one thing that is so precious coz you can only spend it, never earn it. For me the month screamed friends and family! It is still summer in Australia and the days are beautiful and long. So it is an ideal time…

When I was 16, 2024 and me turning 50 seemed like a lifetime away. And here we are with the year gone as the words of my amma – my grandmother, reverberate in my ears that everyone gets old in their own time but only a few get old with wisdom. I hope when she…

Today’s question – “What will you tell fifteen year old you?” Ohh there are so many things I would like to tell my fifteen year old self but the biggest would be that life has its own way of unfolding itself, so don’t worry, you will be fine! I was a gawky, insecure fifteen year…
