Goodbye 2017
January 2, 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

Handful of yarn and a life lesson
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.

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.
