My stories, My way
Here’s to the beginning of another year – a year of milestones. I carry on my lessons and goals from 2023 to let life flow and spend my energy wisely. As I turn 50 this year and my beautiful boy turns 16, my priorities in life are different. As always I set a few goals for…
And just like that another year has gone by. I look back at 2023 with a lot of gratitude for all that the universe has sent my way. The year reminded me again of my favourite Dalai Lama saying when he was asked about the biggest misconception that humans have – they think they have time! 2023…
I am a smiling person by disposition. My husband calls me the sunshine but that does put a lot of pressure in me as the mood in the home is dependent on how much sunshine I can dispense 😀 As I am always smiling, most people start asking questions and assume that something is wrong…

Ahhh this differs every day and I have to remind myself of it. There are a few things I have let go of and some are work in progress. I need to let go of my ego – I have conquered it for most times. But it does rear its head from time to time…

Growing up in 80s and 90s India, creative expressions were hobbies, not something to pursue as a career. Especially in middle class families like mine, you had to become a doctor, engineer or do an MBA so that you can be successful. I was never studious and loved the extra curricular activities in school. I…
