After a week that seemed too long and never ending post the new restrictions imposed after the surge in covid cases, I was looking forward to Friday. Thursday night in particular as it would be my last night of Netflix binge watching for quite some time now. My 6 year old had her last of… Continue reading Finding our “Moxie” – why every girl needs to make her voice heard
Can love last a lifetime? #FictionMonday
“Yes” she whispered into the phone. The word I had been waiting to hear, my heart pounded so loudly that I thought everyone around could hear it. I wanted to dance with joy, sing, jump and do all sorts of crazy things but I had to compose myself. Shreya and I had to cross many… Continue reading Can love last a lifetime? #FictionMonday
Epiphany #FictionMondays
Tears streamed down my cheeks, I kept wiping them away and blinked my eyes focussing on the road ahead. The last thing I wanted was to cause an accident. The sky was grey, clouds hovered all around as thunder rumbled – it felt like the weather perfectly summed up my inner turmoil. The heated conversation… Continue reading Epiphany #FictionMondays
Date night #FictionMonday
I looked at myself in the mirror for the 20th time, “do I look good? Have I overdone my make up? My hair- when was the last time I left it open, it was always tied in a messy bun with strands falling down my face which I brushed aside” This feels good, the hair… Continue reading Date night #FictionMonday
Choice #FictionMonday
She clasped her fingers tightly, her brow twitched like it always did when she was in deep thought. She asked herself for the 100th time. Was she ready to take the plunge?

Post the outbreak of Covid, we haven’t travelled anywhere, though we do step out of the house to… Continue reading A day trip to Bhigwan Bird Sanctuary
Fitness bands- Is there a flip side?
2 weeks ago I wrote a post about how buying a fitness bad has helped me remain committed to my fitness regime, so much that its become a part of my daily routine just like sleeping or eating. I do feel more energetic, optimistic and can see the visible change in my body. The aim… Continue reading Fitness bands- Is there a flip side?
A place called Home #FictionMonday
A dilapidated building- perhaps a haunted place. The roof fallen through, grass and bushes within. Who would ever think this was once inhabited. A red roof with an opening to the sky so that I could gaze at the stars at night, the hearth that brought warmth as we sat huddled around, steaming cups of… Continue reading A place called Home #FictionMonday
Free #FictionMondays
How I wish I was a bird, free to fly away from the pandemonium that surrounds me, soar over mountains and valleys, never stay at one place but keep exploring. “You are a girl, don’t ever entertain such thoughts”, they said. Study well and help your mother in household chores. “Girls shouldn’t dare to dream… Continue reading Free #FictionMondays
My Fitness journey and how a fitness band proved a worthy investment
If you read my posts and watch my social media handles you are sure to know one of the highlights in my life in this extraordinary year 2020 was my fitness regime that shone like a beacon of hope.
