It's 6 am in the morning. The alarm goes tring-tring. In the haze of the sleep, I search for the culprit, spreading out my hands wide over the bedside table. My hand manages to catch the mobile phone. Gone are the days of the old-styled table clocks, which could be shut with a thump on … Continue reading Change is the only constant!
Outside the window of my Mind !
I'm on my vacation currently, nestled in the lap of nature. The monsoons have given a picturesque appearance to the surrounding hills, and the clouds play hide and seek with the mountains around. It rained a few hours before, and from the window of my room, I see everything soaked and wet, the greens, flowers, … Continue reading Outside the window of my Mind !

I'll be 40 in a few months time! I have a few gray hair shinning in my hair line. I have increased my weight by a few pounds and it's now more and more difficult for me to shed them as my metabolism has slowed down. ( Blame it on my thyroid or the bad … Continue reading 40s is Sexy !!
Cooking – A stress buster ?
I am a lazy Blogger. Time and again, I have thought about writing for Women's web, Momspresso and so.

M – The Joys of Mundane
I was an achiever child in my school. Hailing from a small non descript town, I had always scored well and would always be a ranker in the school. Of course, my parents being educationists this was something they were proud of and I did extra effort to grab that limelight. Being an achiever was … Continue reading M – The Joys of Mundane
I for Monster I Pad
Ever since I choose to write on this topic, I have one consistent reader and that is my son. Other than reading, I also discuss with him what the next letter should be. "I" was a confusion. I thought it could be Independence, a sort of eye opener on helicopter parenting, which our generation has … Continue reading I for Monster I Pad
Marriage too needs to be nurtured.
"And they lived Happily ever after" All the fairy tales, all Bollywood and Hollywood movies end when the hero marries his love interest, making us believe that marriage is all about the "the happily ever after." The truth is Marriages are ugly. Marriages are much more hardwork then the courtship. Marriage is actually realizing that … Continue reading Marriage too needs to be nurtured.
