My stories, My way
I had to think long and hard to answer this one. My spirit is fed by stories about kindness, goodness and love around the world. I have never been attracted to mean behaviour. I have been naughty and a rebel in my younger years but bad behaviour irked me. I get emotional and love reading…
Self love is not something that is taught in my culture. You are just a cog in the community, so you should never focus on yourself is the mantra, no different to a lot of ethnic cultures where the norms and rules are being carried from tribal times. It has taken me years to be…
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…
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…

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…
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…
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…
Ahhh the quintessential question. If I were to start again, I would love on a tiny home on an acreage surrounded by moss, trees and nature. I now appreciate how people used to leave home and become a sadhu when they get older. But as it is hard to become a sadhu; the world is…
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…
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…
