This question is very simple to answer for me – I get ignited by learning. I love the company of people where I can have open discussion and share varied points of view. I grew up in an environment where healthy debates were encouraged. We used to have all sorts of conversations on our dinner…
31 Questions to Ask
Day 15 – my favourite memories
Ahhh memories – that is what makes a rich life. I am lucky that I have a life full of memories where the good outnumber the bad! My favourite memories are of my childhood, growing up in a small town in simpler times. I grew up in a middle class family where we may not…
Day 14 – My biggest achievement
My first thought to this question was giving birth to yash and raising him. But I can’t call that MY biggest achievement as that is OUR achievement. My husband, while did not go through the pain of birth, has been Yash’s primary carer for majority of his life. My biggest achievement is settling in a…
Day 13 – How have I changed in the past 3 years?
Change is the only constant. If you don’t change, you don’t grow. That is one thing I am proud of – I change and adapt and grow as I learn. And everyday life is the biggest teacher! One of the biggest thing I have learnt is about people. I am by nature a trusting person…
Day 12 – Three excuses I often make!
This is hard but one of the challenges I have set for myself is to be vulnerable and what better day to do it but my birthday blog! I always have excuse about time, or rather the lack of it. I know, like a lot of working woman, I am genuinely short of time juggling…

Day 10 – What do you feel strongly about?
I am a passionate individual and feel strongly about a lot of things. But if I have to pin one thing, it is the freedom of individuals. I am a big supporter of a free world and power of people. I have had arguments with friends and acquaintances about what is freedom and restriction of…
Day 9 – If you had to add something to humanity, what would your contribution be?
This was a strange question. I have added to humanity by just being on this earth. But my contribution would be to be a human, not just in form but by practicing basic human values of equality, love, care, compassion and above all kindness. As I have mentioned before, it is our responsibility to leave…
Day 8 – What adventures do you want to have?
Life is an adventure if you live it right. I want to have many adventures in my life, some conventional and some non conventional. I want to travel to my chosen countries in my lifetime. I am not adventurous about visiting all the lands – some of the ones, where freedom for women is still…
Day 7 – What kind of life would make you jealous?
I am not jealous by nature about anything in life. So another life that would make me jealous is out of question. I love the life I live and it is a journey and all the little decisions that have been taken have brought me where I am today. I do have “what ifs” that…
