We have a family tradition of putting up a Christmas tree. It started from the time Angel was born. One of my mom’s close friends, a Christian lady gifted us a big and beautiful Christmas tree which had shimmering lights when you connect it to a power source.

Equal yet Different- a thought provoking read for career women
I am not typically a non fiction reader . In fact since the past few years my reading has dwindled quite a bit. Blogging took up the void and off late it’s been the gym, walks on weekends and time spent with Angel. I happened to read a post on Facebook by a senior woman… Continue reading Equal yet Different- a thought provoking read for career women
3 wonderful lessons from this endearing movie “Elemental”
Its been a long time I wrote a blog post and even longer I wrote about a movie/ series I watched. I guess its simply because nothing (or no one:)) can win me over easily. For a movie, especially an animated one to really leave a lasting impression on me, it has to have some… Continue reading 3 wonderful lessons from this endearing movie “Elemental”
Living in the moment #DrumCircle
For someone who constantly thinks of several things to be ticked off a checklist, chores and dreams both hold a place here- it is difficult to completely live in the moment.

Of bruises and choices #Musings
Last week as I was driving back home from the gym, around 10.30 in the morning on a weekday- at a busy junction where the signal never works and that remains unmanned despite the maddening rush- my car was brushed by an auto rickshaw. Before I had time to react, the auto sped off. I… Continue reading Of bruises and choices #Musings
Friendships- and why this is not just about Friendship Day
We all have certain biases ingrained deep within- whether we choose to accept it or not is a different matter.

Choices #FictionMonday
Pure platonic relationships between opposite sexes- do they exist? Can one be just friends with someone from the other gender, with absolutely no romantic feelings. Most of my girlfriends say nah!
