I missed the blog yesterday – it was a long, hard day! Have you ever had days where they started out normal and then just go downhill! Yesterday was one such day for me and the worst part is that there was no specific reason for the same. Now back to the blog topic –…

Day 17 – Earliest Memory
They say that your memories do not start till around the age of four. My earliest memory is slightly before that age. My first memory is of when I was three. It is a vivid memory which I can recall even today. My dad is a food scientist. He worked with Central government in India…
Day 16 – A book I read over and over again
I am a voracious reader – I love books and they have been my constant companion from a young age. Over the years I have read a lot of books but there are some that remain firm favourite. And then there are some books I read over and over again and never get bored. I…
Day 15 – Move somewhere
I missed my blog post yesterday! So you will get two posts today! If I were to move somewhere, where would that be? I already moved 16 years ago and made Australia home! It was a brave decision at the time, one which I have never regretted but I am not sure I would have…
Day 14 – My day bulleted!
My blog today is about my day – in bullet points! I woke up and had my tea along with one biscuit, a morning ritual. Avi and I planned the day ahead – any shopping to be done, what’s for lunch, any important tasks to be completed. Then I cooked breakfast for both him and…

I have been working since a young age. I loved being independent. I was in year 9 when I starting taking tuitions for younger kids. The moolah I earned funded my latest fashion. I qualified as a teacher and even taught for a while. I never in my wildest dreams thought that I would be…

Day 9 – My views on Religion
Now I know this is a controversial topic but I want to start with a disclaimer that these are my personal views. If you are a devoutly religious person who gets offended very easily, please stop now and don’t read this blog post. I was born and raised as a Hindu. It is the oldest…
Day 7 – Ten years from now……
We all envision the future. In fact, anyone who says they don’t are either lying or are a monk. I like to say that I set goals for my future – they are things that I would like to achieve. These goals then help me lay a sort of blue print for next few years….
Home Diaries – 3rd May 2020
I have lost count of the days I have been at home. I am learning why loneliness is the biggest disease in the world. As humans, we are built for social interactions. We may not need to talk or party but we need to be around other human beings. I can now appreciate why society…
