I love people! In fact, like a true extrovert, I get my energy from being around people. What has changed over the years is my understanding of people. That has been a result of very deliberate and conscious effort over the years. In order to understand the Why, I have to take you through my…

My experience staying at home during COVID 19
Home Diaries – 3rd May 2020
I have lost count of the days I have been at home. I am learning why loneliness is the biggest disease in the world. As humans, we are built for social interactions. We may not need to talk or party but we need to be around other human beings. I can now appreciate why society…
Home Diaries – 2nd May 2020
I have been away from the blogging world past few days. It is not because I had finished my letters but because I have been working on my personal site. And I am proud to say that I have finally launched it. It is a dream fulfilled. I have been thinking about it for a…

Today would be the second in my series “Letters to my Family”. Another place I got my inspiration was this Lettersfromago Read them and you will fall in love, like I did. I thought of doing the same so that there is something that my great grand kids can read too! Today it’s for my…

Home Diaries – 22nd April 2020
An uneventful day today! I woke up worrying about something but I don’t know what. I think the uncertain times are making me anxious even though there is nothing I can do. A few years ago, I started training myself to only focus on what I can control. I have been consciously practising that and…
Home Diaries – 21st April 2020
It is back and it is not a dress anymore, it is a shoe. One of my friends posted in our girlfriend group and we had so much fun with each other and our families. We had a pattern in our group, you tell me in comments what you see – grey and green or…
Home Diaries – 20th April 2020
It was my first day back to work after 2 weeks of break and I must say, it was good to be back. I have realised that I am a creature of routine. I genuinely like working and a break every now and then is welcome. But prolonged stay at home, doing nothing, makes me…
