Needless to say, I talk a lot about my son. Sometimes non stop even. Everything he does. The good, the bad and the ugly even. But I notice the when I talk to a generation older than us, they immediately start pointing out how naughty We were at our age. How it’s important to enjoy each and every moment of…

Etiquette Shmetiquette
So IIT Delhi is going to giving out a course on etiquette. High time I say. Not just in India but all over the world, pleases and thankyous and all that’s in between seems to be fazing out like the cat in Alice in Wonderland. I’m all for informality but it’s these little things that make any relationship, even with…
Learning wisdom
Read this quote today on someone’s Facebook page. “By three methods we may learn wisdom: first by reflection,which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest;and third, by experience, which is the most bitter. “ While there is some truth in the above, what my experiences have taught me is the bitterness turns sweet when the wisdom emerges. Imitation literally…
Second Language
I’m sure you all have noticed. The minute two or more people speaking the same language get together, you cannot get them to stop talking in their own lingo. I used to HATE that. It’s one of the things that used to get on my nerves, specially since I’m fluent only in Hindi and English. Sour grapes I suppose. I couldn’t…
On my deathbead …
This is what someone said to me recently – ” on our deathbeds will we really know what we were born to do…nice one…hope none of us regret …it knowing the truth then … “ I wonder. Why is it that people have a ” don’t think about it, don’t talk about it ” attitude towards REGRET. Regrets are a part…
Ugly Duckling !!!
With all the ups and downs that I’ve been experiencing healthwise lately, I’ve had a revelation of sorts. Yes, another one ! Life is full of them 🙂 Some days have been thinking that I’m the ugliest person on earth. I look in the mirror and all I see is the tired, sad looking person who just puked her guts out and…
God and Karma
I’ve lived almost three decades now and yet when I talk to my mother who has two more decades on me, we have disagreements over what life means and what’s the best way to resolve a situation – hypothetical or real. Just yesterday, we were conversing and my mother says that all that happens is with the will of God. Our…
Warning : Intense Whining ahead !!
Life is changing … slowly but surely. Where have I been the past four months ?! Hmmm…. The good news is the I’m expecting. 🙂 And I couldn’t be happier about it. The bad news is the I’ve been too sick to even think about writing or any other extra curricular activity for that matter. Any exertion physical or mental…
Bloggers Blog on
I just finished seeing the movie, Julie and Julia. For someone who is totally passionate about writing as well as cooking the story was something I could truly connect with. I remember when I started blogging I too was in the exact same situation as Julie Powell in the movie. Lost! Since I was spending most parts of days by myself, I needed an outlet. I also…
Confessions of a Festaholic
V day was coming up and I was super excited. Not just coz the world would be celebrating love, but becoz I’d be telling all the people I cared for, how much they mean to me. For a person who just needs an excuse to have fun and celebrate life in all it’s glory, this was the perfect excuse. Cmon!!…
