Handful of yarn and a life lesson
September 26, 2016
Last week I was busy with some yarn and learning crochet. More about that experience later but while handling yarn, I learnt an important lesson. The yarn I had was all tangled with no beginning or end in sight. I had a partner who tried to fix up the mess by shaking it up. It seemed … More Handful of yarn and a life lesson
A matter of perspective
September 19, 2016
Many of us in Bangalore had a one-day weekend. Thanks to the recent unrest and statewide bandhs this month. However, for some, it was the usual weekly off. For many more, it was a normal day. How many people even get a day off? A two-day weekend to bounce back at a new week of life … More A matter of perspective

Home is where the heart is
September 13, 2016
Ever since I left home as a seventeen-year-old, I knew I will not live in a city for over four years. From one city to the other, I kept moving until I reached Bangalore and made it my current home a decade ago. This city has been mine and I belong here. However, I must … More Home is where the heart is
A blogging milestone – 505
September 12, 2016
No, this is not one of those 404 errors. That site not found and the issues with a choppy internet connection. It’s time to celebrate a milestone. One fine evening and I don’t remember which one, I knew I was at 495 posts on happiness and food. The fifth from there would have been a … More A blogging milestone – 505
A mirror and that reflection
September 8, 2016
The Weekly Photo Challenge prompt (Mirror) this time was for me. I was nodding at each word Jen had put on the post. As a photography lover, I have begun to see things in a frame. It is practice and a lot of observation. More trials and errors. Sometimes, I get the shot I want and … More A mirror and that reflection
That birthday and a late night party
September 6, 2016
Last night it was hard to fall asleep. After the day off on Monday and having a doing-nothing sort of long weekend, all I wanted was a good night sleep. On my mind was the yoga class the next morning and a start to the work week. But it was not easy. We hit the … More That birthday and a late night party
What do you do when you do nothing?
September 5, 2016
As I am typing this, Monday is almost over. A long weekend with a festival today and I did nothing over the three days. I mean nothing productive. This festival too feels like the one for others to rejoice. Saturday was a happy day with two more days in the tow but then the next … More What do you do when you do nothing?
#WomenAtWork – A captain
September 4, 2016
I am a captain. Flying from one destination to the other, the best life lessons came from my father and mother. When studying psychology, I found my passion. One day like a light fills the heart, I knew I was meant to be in aviation. A flight school in Florida taught me my lessons and … More #WomenAtWork – A captain
