Her name is Happy
October 10, 2016
You got it right. That’s the name very few of her friends know. Like her name, she is a happy soul. An ambitious, hard-working and a kind human being as well. I first met her when I was a ten-year-old. Students of her section were split into the remaining two sections and there she was … More Her name is Happy

Last Sunday was a dull one at home and the day seemed a bit longer than usual. Scrolling through the twitter feed, VT mentioned of the Dasara celebrations at the Bangalore International Airport.

#WomenAtWork – A scientist
October 2, 2016
I am a scientist. Everyday in my lab is an adventure, for the human kind and not for leisure. I love discovering things, the joy of what’s next gives me wings.

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

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
