My stories, My way
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…
And just like that, a quarter of the year is over. It doesn’t matter whether we are living our life or just existing, time continues to slip. I went backwards this month. I am not even sure how or why but I stopped my walks, my mental health was not the best and I struggled…
I cannot believe that the second month of this brand new year is already over. I do concede it is the shortest month but the weeks seems to be zipping. The month for me was a bit of a hit and miss. I continued my walks and listening to podcasts but there were days I…
Wow- I can’t believe January is already gone in this brand new year and we are already a few days in February. As I am writing this I am reminded of something I read – The trouble is, we think we have time. Such a powerful statement and a constant reminder of our mortality. This…

What a year! The second decade of this century ended with a bang – this year is associated with all sort of firsts. It was the first year where an entire generation of people, who had not seen war, were exposed to war like conditions. We were confined to our homes, had to follow government…
This year marked the last year of the “teens” in our living memory. For me personally it was year of growth and crystallising how I see my life going forward. It was the year I saw mortality as a very clear destination which brought home the fact that time is transient…living every moment is the…
Years go by so quickly! As I get older, I realise more and more that time is such a gift. It is the biggest gift you can give to yourself and your loved ones. I have become very selective as to who I share my time with coz I know if I waste it, it…
