My stories, My way
And just like that we have completed over half of the year. This past month was not the best for me – marred with health issues mostly caused by me and me alone. I recently read somewhere that organisations should look after the well being of their people first and work should follow that. I…
I can’t believe I missed my monthly blog. This is how busy I have been – I am not just talking time but more so my mind! Between work and life, it seems I am not prioritising correctly leading to a few crazy weeks. I have made a vow to correct this and slow down…
It is beginning to feel a lot like winter – sunless days, cold nights! As I am growing older, my bones want warmth and my husband and I talk about moving to warmer places. But then we look around the comfort in our home and the life that we have created and that brings its…
Another month whizzed past in this year and I feel it was yesterday we were looking forward to 2022 after two gruelling COVID years marred with uncertainty and melancholy. April is always a special month for us – We got married in April 22 years ago. Every year since then, we have tried to get…

Ushering in a new year is always exciting – it reminds me of hope, new beginnings and time to start a new chapter. For the past few years, I have been blogging on the first day of the year and setting some goals for myself. Of course the past two years have thrown the best…
What a year – 2021! I have designated it as the year of emotional upheaval, the year of highs and lows, the year that taught me to let life flow as we control nothing! When I started 2021, I was hopeful. We had started seeing the back of COVID and while the pandemic was far…
Z is for zest – that unbridled passion and energy for something. I have zest for positivity in my life. As I say, I don’t need any drugs or alcohol, I am high on life and there ain’t a better high! As you must have seen a pattern in my posts, it doesn’t come easy….
