We have a family tradition of putting up a Christmas tree. It started from the time Angel was born. 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. She gifted this as a baby homecoming… Continue reading As we bid Twixmas goodbye

3 wonderful lessons from this endearing movie “Elemental”
Its been a long time I wrote a blog post and even longer I wrote about a movie/ series I watched. I guess its simply because nothing (or no one:)) can win me over easily. For a movie, especially an animated one to really leave a lasting impression on me, it has to have some… Continue reading 3 wonderful lessons from this endearing movie “Elemental”
Blinded by love #FictionMondays
The smile on her face was different this time. It came straight from her heart , a smile of someone in love. Her eyes shone, her cheeks glowed and everything around her that otherwise felt mundane had taken a new form today. May it always be like that, may we madly be in love with… Continue reading Blinded by love #FictionMondays
That time is now hon #FictionMondays
Those fallen brown autumn leaves- at one point of time they invoked a romantic feeling- thanks to an overdose of SRK movies (read Mohabbetein) when we were in college. When I look at them now they make me ponder if they lived their life? They knew that their time was limited and they would wither… Continue reading That time is now hon #FictionMondays
If Only #FictionMonday
If only I had chosen to turn a deaf ear when she said black doesn’t suit a dark skinned person like me, If only I had shrugged my shoulders and worn that black T shirt instead of tossing it away and picking a light coloured one. If only I had followed my heart to be… Continue reading If Only #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
A tale of coffee and world travel #TellTaleThursday
Back to business, shutters up. The floor well swept and mopped. Freshly brewed coffee and the smell of pakoras. Breakfast time was the one where they made most money. A regular no frills coffee shop tucked in a one of the many lanes in Cochin, they sold around 300 cups of coffee each day. They… Continue reading A tale of coffee and world travel #TellTaleThursday
Not merely a dream #TellTaleThursday
I am humming a song as I ride my green colour bicycle – the weather is perfect! And there he comes, riding on a horse, my knight in shining armour. Tall, dark, handsome, kind, funny- he has it all. I stop, he stops. We look at each other and sparks fly. He waves at me,… Continue reading Not merely a dream #TellTaleThursday
My Word of the Year 2019: Hiatus #WOTY
Does it sound strange to talk about “Hiatus” or “Pausing”as my word of the Year when everyone’s talking about chasing their dreams, going out and getting what you desire. And thats exactly the kind of person I am. The ambitious , front bencher who will raise her hand first ( read Hermoine in class). The… Continue reading My Word of the Year 2019: Hiatus #WOTY
My Wish #TellTaleThursday
Fairy Lights shone on the porch and a beautiful rangoli adorned the front door. The aroma of karanji and chaklis wafted through the air. The lamps shone bright but Suhas and Saroja’s world was dark as usual. Today was like any other day for them. The decked up house and the lights did little to… Continue reading My Wish #TellTaleThursday
