2025 – A new chapter!

Posted on December 31, 2024 by Sonali

The first day of the new year is like that pseudo reset where it feels that you can restart and renew. Every year I set some goals for the year, more like how I want my year to be directed. It has helped me the past few years and I love going back and reading…

The year 2024!!

Posted on December 31, 2024 by Sonali

When I was 16, 2024 and me turning 50 seemed like a lifetime away. And here we are with the year gone as the words of my amma – my grandmother, reverberate in my ears that everyone gets old in their own time but only a few get old with wisdom. I hope when she…

Year gone by….

Posted on December 30, 2023December 31, 2023 by Sonali

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…

Hello 2023

Posted on January 1, 2023 by Sonali

Another year, another morning. This new year morning is special as I ushered it with my sister and family. This was the first time that we were together at this time of the year since we both got married, so I know 2023 would be amazing. Like every new year, I set some goals for…

Goodbye 2022

Posted on December 31, 2022 by Sonali

Every year, on the last day, I take stock of the time gone by and my learnings. As humans, we have a tendency to look forward and how far do we have to go. But from time to time, it is great to look back and look at how far we have come and what…

Welcome 2022

Posted on January 1, 2022January 1, 2022 by Sonali

Ushering in a new year is always exciting – it reminds me of hope, new beginnings and time to start a new chapter. For the past few years, I have been blogging on the first day of the year and setting some goals for myself. Of course the past two years have thrown the best…

Goodbye 2021

Posted on December 29, 2021January 1, 2022 by Sonali

What a year – 2021! I have designated it as the year of emotional upheaval, the year of highs and lows, the year that taught me to let life flow as we control nothing! When I started 2021, I was hopeful. We had started seeing the back of COVID and while the pandemic was far…

February Goals

Posted on February 1, 2021 by Sonali

I did well on my micro resolution for January. I vowed to dress up everyday and cultivate it as a habit. And I did! I ensured that I started my day spending time dressing up in the morning. I wore my dresses, my jewellery and put make up on just like I did when I…

Kicking off a new year

Posted on January 3, 2021December 30, 2021 by Sonali

Every year I plan some goals to pursue to keep myself motivated. But if there is one thing that 2020 has taught me is that a year is too long to plan. Life is to be lived in present. So this year I plan to do something different. I first read about micro resolutions in…

End of another decade

Posted on December 30, 2020January 1, 2022 by Sonali

What a year! The second decade of this century ended with a bang – this year is associated with all sort of firsts. It was the first year where an entire generation of people, who had not seen war, were exposed to war like conditions. We were confined to our homes, had to follow government…
