This has happened to me before. I know the date when it is the 30th of the month but what I don’t register is that the month has ended. Do you think of the speed at which time travels? I do. November was a good month. Guess it has to do with the fact that … More Gratitude List – November 2018
Sitting and penning this post from the comfort of my home in my small and slow hometown, I don’t know where to begin. October was exactly how I had expected. Busy and happy. The month brought much-needed mental break from the humdrum and also showed some brightness after sad September. I am not going to … More Gratitude List – October 2018
It would be safe to say now that I am glad September is over. The month was not a good one. News of deaths, not-so-good things with folks back home and that overall feeling of something not right took over on most days. I tried my best to stay positive but on some days, I … More Gratitude List – September 2018
So I knew yesterday was the last day of August but it did not dawn upon me that the month had come to end. I opened my drafts to fine tune a travel post and then realized that this post would go live in September. It was funny how I finally ‘got’ that a new … More Gratitude List – August 2018
I am not sure what would be the right word for July. It was some where in between. Slightly disappointing yet manageable. Some things worked out and some did not. Work was hectic and gave me enough hints to slow down. I reflected and realized that as I grow up in my career, I need … More Gratitude List – July 2018
May was a mixed bag. It was made up of many things. Things that were good and things that were not-so-good. Like a potpourri where on the outside it is beautiful but not all elements are the best when you look into it. However, together the good and not-so-good elements make it a lovely combination. … More Gratitude List – May 2018
March did not march along with me. It marched on its own beat and I was on my own. There were positive things about the month but it also disturbed the apple cart at my end of the world. A weird shoulder pain, some misunderstanding and confusion, and some health scares from extended family. But … More Gratitude List – March 2018
January, the cold month in Bangalore but with a lot of warmth. I have always loved the energy that January brings. There are experiences people want to share with each other and enriching conversations at lunch table. There are plans and resolutions. Though nothing is ‘new’, January always feels like a fresh start. The month … More Gratitude List – January 2018
Goodbye 2017. When I think of you, I feel scared, happy, excited, shocked and contented. You were one of those years that took some and gave some. You taught me some good lessons of life and you also shaped me. 365 days went by in the blink of an eye. I know that’s not true … More Goodbye 2017
If I were to pick a word for April 2017, ‘balance’ would be my first choice. Things seemed to be in harmony with each other. Whether personal, professional or my online world – I loved how sometimes things fell into place. It rained when it was too hot and in spite of my work schedules, … More Gratitude List – April 2017
