#MicroblogMondays – What should I cook tonight?

#WomenAtWork – A Painter
May 1, 2016

Today, this little street space is my temporary shop. From one to the other I go, and those who appreciate, don’t let it go. … More #WomenAtWork – A Painter
Gratitude List – April 2016
April 30, 2016
‘Hot’ is how I would describe April in a word. The temperature in Bangalore beat the record of the last 80 years and I felt the heat right under my skin.

Z for Zilch #AtoZChallenge

W for Whistling Women #AtoZChallenge
April 27, 2016
What do you think of men who whistle? Eve teasers. Right? And the women who do that? Adam teasers. If that is some phrase known to womankind. You know throughout this challenge, equality has been the voice around. But if the whistles were for a cause and help achieve better health, what would you say of … More W for Whistling Women #AtoZChallenge

Eve teasing, passing on lewd comments and groping. All this is enough to scare girls who are out sometimes to school or to run an errand. Unfortunately, some fall prey and are molested or raped. In slums and in rural sectors, these stories are commonly heard. While police reports can be filed, there is pressure … More U for Uniformed Red Brigade #AtoZChallenge
