My stories, My way
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…

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….
Y is for You! Everything starts and ends here. There is a Shloka in Bhagvad Geeta – Akele aaye hain and akele hi jaana hai – we come to the world alone and leave it alone. It doesn’t translate that we should be alone but the fact that it is very important to think about…
