A Sunday by my kitchen window
November 20, 2017
You know I am not the one who would spend a lot of time by the kitchen window. On Sundays, it is about those many cups of tea. As I watch the boiling water and tea leaves, life feels going too fast. Those bubbles of colored water are bursting even before they can grow to … More A Sunday by my kitchen window

Looks like being late for my gratitude lists is becoming the norm. But, they are always on the cards and in my heart. It’s the writing that I keep at the bay sometimes. I am working on it. I digress. October this year was exactly as expected and planned. The Diwali month brought family time … More Gratitude List – October 2017

This year, I visited the famous Sankat Mochan Temple in Varanasi after 18 years. While I have tried many times, this was the first time things fell in place.

“I believe in everything until it’s disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it’s in your mind. Who’s to say that dreams and nightmares aren’t as real as the here and now?” … More #ThursdayTreeLove – 26
A like for a like isn’t love
October 23, 2017
Recently an acquaintance called me. She has always been kind enough to check on me and my well-being. We spoke at length about our careers, things we are doing, travel plans and common friends. Then I asked her about someone we knew and what I heard, I hadn’t expected. She said, “She likes my pictures … More A like for a like isn’t love
