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

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. Sunday evenings specially are meant to run that mental checklist once again- things to buy for Angel, office deliverables to be ticked off in… Continue reading Living in the moment #DrumCircle
Building a fulfilling career -beyond the promo and pay rise
Most of us associate our career progression with vertical growth, moving up the rungs as it often translates to pay rises, better perks, a corner office perhaps, more recognition and being looked upon as a symbol of power. As we started off on our career journey in our early or mid 20’s dint we look… Continue reading Building a fulfilling career -beyond the promo and pay rise
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. I have them too and here are a few things I always thought when it came to friends: I can only bond with people who are like me- have similar tastes in books, similar hobbies,… Continue reading Friendships- and why this is not just about Friendship Day
Smash ’em #FictionMondays
Unconditional love- is what comes to mind when you look at this lovey dovey picture. A virtue animals possess but for us humans it doesn’t come that easily. Is it really possible to love another being with no expectations in return except for asking that they love you back as deeply as you do? Would… Continue reading Smash ’em #FictionMondays
Word of the year 2022: Gratitude
Its that time of the year again. I was toying between writing a round up post OR bringing up my WOTY for 2022. While the latter could have waited, I zeroed in on WOTY as this has been a transformational past few weeks for me personally , especially since I started practising gratitude more mindfully.… Continue reading Word of the year 2022: Gratitude
Feeling meh? Dont fight it, let it soak in
A good friend asked me few days ago- “Whats up?” and instead of saying “All good, great, or doing fine”, I chose to tell him exactly what I felt at that moment. “Meh”. I was chatting with a colleague whom I talk to almost every day as we work closely . I asked him the… Continue reading Feeling meh? Dont fight it, let it soak in
Invincible #FictionMondays
“Do you think you are strong Angel?” I asked my 6 year old. “Yes I am. The other day I was so tired as my dance teacher made me practise dancing again and again to get the perfect moves as she wanted to shoot a group video. Sweat was trickling down my face but I… Continue reading Invincible #FictionMondays
What do you miss about Work from office the most? #CoronaDiaries
Did the title seem like “wth”, why would we miss office at all? Its been almost 1.5 years of working from home, schooling from home, house parties, socialising from home. Most of us have set up our very own home office with back up of 2,3 devices, wi fi connections , a comfy office chair… Continue reading What do you miss about Work from office the most? #CoronaDiaries
