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…

Day 17 – Learn lifelong
I love learning new things and it is the one thing that motivates me. In fact, every job that I have been in, I have stayed on till I am learning. When I stop learning, it means it is time to move on. Learning for me is synonymous to growth. As human beings we grow…
Day 16 – Practising Gratitude
I started practising gratitude a few years ago after I read a book by Dalai Lama. It talked about how abundance doesn’t equate to greed. It taught being thankful for what we have in our lives. Since then I started practising gratitude – constantly reminding myself of what I have rather than looking for what…

I love my television. When I got married, it was the one thing I asked my husband and dad for – a TV for our bedroom. I like having it run in the background while I do other things. I have grown up in an era where we used to have barely any programs on…
Day 10 – Star gazing
It wasn’t a star gazing sort of a day! As the evening progressed, it started pouring which meant that I was indoors for most part. But I did some reasearch and found the best places in and around Sydney to look at stars. Now they are all on my list to go and check out….
