Today’s blog post is about an emotion and what invoked it? This blog post made me research about emotions because most of the time we confuse our physiological needs with our emotions. Like the first thought that cam still my mind was tired, but that is nit an emotion. That is my physical state even…

Day 3 – Advice – Good & Bad
Over the course of our life, we all receive advice – some solicited and some unsolicited. If you are from the sub-continent, advice is dispensed freely. Everyone seems to have an opinion about everything and they turn it into life mantras for others – whether they apply it to their life is a whole other…
Day 27 – Road Trip
We did not have a car when I was growing up. So there were no road trips. Most of our leisure trips were in the train which was an adventure in itself, something I will write about separately in a post. The road trips were limited to bus journeys which I hated coz they were…
Day 26 – Stay Connected
Loneliness and Isolation are the two biggest diseases in the world. Human beingS strive for connection. When the pandemic took over, there were reports that the local charities Beyond Blue and Lifeline were inundated with calls from people feeling depressed or anxious due to loneliness. I was searching for connections and came across this fabulous…
Day 25 – Super quality
Today I asked to share the one thing that you are super good at! I believe I am good at bringing people together. I genuinely like when people are together and friendships are formed. It gives me immense happiness. Even in my working life, that is one thing I enjoy the most – creating collaborative…
Day 24 – Smile

Day 21 – Movie Night
I am a movieholic! I love all sort of movies, barring horror which I refuse to watch. I love movies in all languages, with subtitles of course. But Bollywood movies remain my firm favourite. I know a lot of people find them nonsensical but I have grown up watching them, enjoying the songs and copying…
Day 20 – Creative self
Whenever we think about the head, we think about intelligence but creativity comes from the heart. There is an artist in all of us but the day to day living pushes it down for most. I have a huge respect for people who make arts their profession – they are the ones who have truly…
Day 19 – Letter writing
I remember the days when letter writing was an art. We were taught that in school, it was that important. It was the only means of communication in an era where even a fixed line telephone was a luxury. But oh the pleasure! I still remember checking the post box everyday waiting for the letter…
Day 18 – Call a friend
Friends make our life richer and are like gold threads woven in our life tapestry. I am lucky to have called some really wonderful humans as my friends. As you would have noticed by now, I love people. I am one of those humans who genuinely like people and work on the theory that everyone…
