As I think about March, I see strong Sun and bright things. While the heat kept me on the edge, the bright things sure brought smiles. That includes unexpected showers in the city and a lot of good food. While work remained on the higher side, there were moments that have been marked for the year. … More Gratitude List – March 2017
January did not begin on the note I had thought of. There was no big bang party at home or time out with friends. However, there was self-reflection and I found comfort in my own company. Sometimes I think that’s what growing old means. It means we find solace in what we have and stop … More Gratitude List – January 2017
When the Sun sets today, this will be the last of 2016. From behind the clouds, the rays will kiss the sky goodbye only to be woken up tomorrow. On the first day of 2017. As I sit and write this gratitude list for 2016 and my year in review, my mind is blank. I’m … More Goodbye 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.

On my mind was the yoga class the next morning and a start to the work week. But it was not easy. We hit the … More That birthday and a late night party
A part of me is happy that August is over. Just a day more to go. A month of more downs than ups. However, a lot of people and things kept me going and my heart is full of gratitude. Friends have been the highlight this month and you will see the theme emerging from … More Gratitude List – August 2016
Hangover. Of rains and the weather in Bangalore. The water tables are rising and maybe some good people and organizations are harvesting the rain water. To add to it, the fury of the Sun from this year’s summer is long gone. That washed look on the roads and the greenery all around makes my heart … More Gratitude List – July 2016
Every evening after work when I walk towards home, I see two girls. These two teenage girls live nearby and I know them as much as you would know someone living in the same locality. I don’t know their names but I know that they have been friends for a long time. After school along … More Two Girls In My Neighborhood
I still can’t believe May is over. This month just breezed through with the thunderstorms and showers that hit us recently. The temperature has dipped and it feels like our good old Bangalore once again. This month I read Sanch’s post on The Gratitude Myth and her thoughts stayed with me longer that many other … More Gratitude List – May 2016
