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.

I happened to read a post on Facebook by a senior woman… Continue reading Equal yet Different- a thought provoking read for career women

Before I had time to react, the auto sped off. I… Continue reading Of bruises and choices #Musings

Her eyes were fixated on the 2 pages, neatly written lines on a crisp white sheet, they looked perfect. And then came the blobs of ink, smeared. This was sure to make creases appear on most people’ s foreheads. There goes the perfect page- sigh.
