Kyra twiddled with the vines, “This aint home” she wailed. Mumma caressed her head lovingly ” Home is where the heart is honey, once we have this place spruced up its as good as new, get to work shall we?” She looked at her phone nervosuly.

As we bid Twixmas goodbye
We have a family tradition of putting up a Christmas tree. It started from the time Angel was born.

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.

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.
