Life is a roller coaster- my career is booming.… Continue reading Rendezvous #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z

The baby is 6 months old today and as I walk out of the house, dressed up in my newly bought “Tommy Hilfilger” formal dress and Clarks suede shoes, it feels surreal. A part of me is apprehensive of leaving behind my precious bundle of joy but the other part is excited to go out… Continue reading Que Sera Sera #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z

And I met my dream man. It wasn’t the way in which I had thought. It was through the arranged marriage route. But both of us were certain about one thing. We wanted time and we could not say how much. We spelt this out clearly to our families. His family was a carbon copy… Continue reading Not the perfect wedding #AtoZChallenge #BlogChatterA2Z

I joined one of the leading MNC’s as an Analyst. I felt a sense of pride as my new shiny black heels made a click clack sound on the spotless shiny floors.

As an infant, I gave sleepless nights to Mommy and Daddy as I was always hungry, my appetite just couldn’t be satiated.
