January 2022

Posted on February 5, 2022May 21, 2022 by sonalion

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…

S – Success

Posted on August 19, 2021 by sonalion

Success is an interesting word. Over the years, it has been defined by society as a box that you need to somehow fit yourself in and if you don’t, then it is like a milestone you haven’t met in life. For years, I believed that myth. But as I continued to learn more and went…

J – Joy

Posted on August 10, 2021 by sonalion

J will always be for joy for me! Joy is that elated feeling, the unencumbered happiness that makes all your senses go fully alive. Experiencing sheer joy is a kind of meditation. You feel alive, in touch with your being and close to your spiritual self. In one of my favourite movies, Zindagi Na Milegi…

D – Dream

Posted on August 4, 2021 by sonalion

D is to Dream. Dreams are the first step to define our destiny. When I was young, I was told again and again to not day dream as it is for the lazy. I don’t agree with it. My dreams helped me in defining what I wanted in life. Your dreams do change as we…

Day 1 – Best book I read last year

Posted on October 1, 2020May 2, 2021 by Sonali

I did not read a lot of books last year. I had joined a new job and life was very busy. My parents visited me last year and got my haul of Hindi books. It is a rite of passage – anyone coming from india has to get me the Hindi language books from my…

Day 28 – If I win a million dollars!

Posted on September 29, 2020 by Sonali

At one point of time, million dollars was a lot of money. People dreamt about having that amount of money and plans for what they would do if they laid their hands upon it. How times have changed? These days million dollars would barely buy you a house in Sydney. If you want to live…

Day 12 – Satisfying moments in life

Posted on September 13, 2020 by Sonali

They say the best things in life are free and the current pandemic has taught us that even more. Life is full of small pleasures and if we look around, there are tiny things that probably give us the most joy. Here is my list of life’s small pleasures: The smell of freshly mowed grass…

Day 6 – Current Relationship Status

Posted on September 6, 2020December 31, 2021 by Sonali

When I looked at the topic of my current blog, for a moment I stopped in my tracks. I know the traditional meaning of the title is marital status but the thoughts that went through my mind were around the word relationship. Why does current relationship status only talk about marriage? Surely I have other…

Day 27 – Road Trip

Posted on June 8, 2020 by Sonali

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…
