When I first read about 5 VC investors that target female entrepreneurs, I wasn’t impressed. Women do not need special investors who would look at who is leading the team and then fund a new venture if it’s led by women or leave out if there were male partners. But then I read the article again and … More #MicroblogMondays – Gender & Venture Capital

Did you take a day off or did you party to celebrate? Let me tell you, I did nothing special cos I believe every day is … More #MicroblogMondays – A Day Once In Four Years
This weekend, we made a quick road trip to Hampi in North Karnataka. On Day 1, we walked up a hill-top and sat there watching the Sun set. Since then, this thought that has been on my mind and doesn’t seem to go away. What if every day I had a chance to watch the Sun set … More #MicroblogMondays – If we never had to go back
It has been said that like an arrow leaves a bow, the words that have been spoken do not come back. They could be forgiven but never forgotten. Recently, a colleague at work told me how much emphasis I put on what others think of me and it was a great observation. It is important for me … More #MicroblogMondays – Watch Your Words, They Could Hurt
I’ve a packed schedule today. Writing, reading, cleaning, sleeping, eating and cooking. In that order. A day off shouldn’t look like this. 😜 — Parul (@parul2411) January 25, 2016 I love taking off from work on the day that falls between a weekend and a declared off at work – a day like today when tomorrow … More #MicroblogMondays – When I took a day off
Last July when I started taking Kannada lessons on whatspp, I realized that the language is close to Sanskrit and not that hard to learn. I now know basic words and it’s fun learning from others when they correct my mistakes. The best part is feeling a sense of belonging with the city due to the language connection. Last … More #MicroblogMondays – Kannada Classes Have Begun
There is a lot to marriage beyond wedding ceremonies and most people know that simple truth in life. A grand party at a plush venue, hundreds of guests, good food, designer dresses and everything perfect to a tee is by no means an indicator of how the marriage will turn out to be. It’s the two people who … More #MicroblogMondays – Beyond wedding ceremonies
Christmas has changed the look and feel of Hong Kong. Every other building is well decorated with lights and Christmas trees are set up. The festivities, the celebrations and carols can be heard all around. Malls have “Jingle Bells“, “Joy to the world” and “Rudolf the red nose reindeer” playing on an infinite repeat mode. Sales, … More #MicroblogMondays – Christmas is here
When I last visited Hong Kong in October, I stayed for close to three weeks and yet never noticed this little important thing. Sometimes, the things that are right in front of us go unnoticed. This time in less than 48 hours of being around, when I was taking the elevator to the 17th floor, VT pointed … More #MicroBlogMondays – Why is number 4 missing?
Yesterday was the last day of the Hong Kong Wine and Dine Festival and VT and I wanted to be a part of the energy that such events bring. So, even after a long day exploring the Ten Thousand Buddhas Monastery and walking close to 10 km during the day, we decided to step out and have some … More #MicroblogMondays – Pakistan loves India
