I used to be at my wits end when Nysa was a baby. My days were filled with milk bottles, baby poop, laundry, baby food and vaccinations. I was waiting for her to grow up and go to school so that I could get back to living a life of my own- once upon a… Continue reading Treading a rocky path #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z

Que Sera Sera #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
Not the perfect wedding #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
Marriage Mystique #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
I am 27- in a dream job, making a lot of money, independent, have good friends and a loving family. I have it all except that I haven’t settled down. If you are shaking your head in disbelief and wondering in what way am I unsettled – well its my “single status”. In India ,… Continue reading Marriage Mystique #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
Karmic Connection #AToZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
One thing that made my life wholesome was the bunch of few people whom I identified as friends and they meant the world to me. I do not have many friends, in fact I always prefer being alone and I had 2 of my besties right under my roof- Mom and Dad. Hence I seldom… Continue reading Karmic Connection #AToZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
Just love #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
I am single. All around me, I see couples, hand in hand, some with an extra ounce of PDA (Public Display of Affection) and here I am with a bunch of friends or with Mummy and Daddy. I sometimes wonder- where is he? The special one who would make my heart flutter and make me… Continue reading Just love #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
Heartbreak #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
I fell head over heels in love with Raj when I was 13. Life seemed like a fairytale. He was the new boy in our class – what I loved the most were his dimples. When he threw up his head and laughed, those dimples looked so gorgeous. I was tempted to go and touch… Continue reading Heartbreak #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
Growing up #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
I got my first period when I was 11. It wasn’t a shock to me as I knew about periods when I was 4. One day I saw Mumma take out a pad from the cupboard and walk towards the bathroom. “What is that?” A curious 4 year old asked. Grandma was sitting nearby. She… Continue reading Growing up #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
Colour Coded #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
I did not hear the hushed whispers and some loud guffaws when Mommy Daddy were not around- the topic was the colour of my skin. A dusky girl in India is doomed for its very difficult to find a suitable groom for her. Imagine, here I was lying in my crib, a day old and… Continue reading Colour Coded #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
Blue or Pink- does it matter? #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
Mommy wanted a boy- did I really hear that or was it my imagination? Its hardly been 24 hours that I came into this world and I have heard more rotten things than I heard in the past 10 months in Mommy’s womb. As I grow up I realise the bitter truth that many parents… Continue reading Blue or Pink- does it matter? #AtoZChallenge #BlogchatterA2Z
