After ‘jingle all the way’ and crazy new year celebrations, it’s time to ponder over how you want to make this year count. I suck at resolutions and hence making a Not-To-Do Resolutions had worked out in the past. This year too, I made a fun list and is hoping to stick to it. But,…
Musings
Of Books and My Most Favorite Word
I loved reading books since childhood. My mom and her sisters had a huge library with over 5000 books of varied genres. Mom always read out stories of Rapunzel and Thumbelina as a kid and that’s how I went to bed at night. She guided me in picking the right books and in fact, was uncompromising…
Of Smoothies and Pineapples
You know by now that I’m enjoying my vacation in Kerala. It’s raining Pineapples here 🙂 As a kid, I loved having Pineapple Smoothie. We had a pineapple farm and Dad used to always make this special smoothie for us, kids. And that’s the only smoothie I ever loved. Not even the mangoes! Oh yup….
If I Could Change One Thing About Myself
We all have flaws, don’t we? And the sooner you realize that, the better it is for you. But what is that one thing which you want to change about yourself? Ask me that and may be I could list out many. Is it my temper? My impulsiveness? Me being over dramatic? Or is it…
The Month That Was… #FebruaryRoundup #MondayMusings
The month of February is my favorite time of the year. There is a lot of celebrations, love and merriment going on. Well, that’s one of the reasons I wasn’t writing much in here. The month started with a bang with me celebrating our third wedding anniversary. Just that I was all alone and was…
Of Books, Reading Challenges and its Impact
Picking five favorite books is like picking the five body parts you’d most like not lose. – Neil Gaiman I totally agree. But there will be a few for anyone which would have touched their soul in some way or the other. I can pick quite a few as my favorite books and I’m sure these…
Smile…it costs nothing #MondayMusings
Some days, it’s so easy to smile. You wake up to your cab driver’s voice saying he will be late by another half an hour and you snuggle under your blanket for another five minutes. You get ready and find yourself greeted with a hot cup of coffee made by your husband or your roommate. You…
On Zeroing in…
Hey you lovely people. It’s been a long long time since I have penned down something. And choosing today, the 31st of December, the eve of New Year is a mere coincidence. So, this is definitely not another ‘New year, New Me’ post. Not another ‘Good bye 2015’ post and definitely not another ‘My resolutions…
Messy Life. Missing Life.
I just wanted to scream out loud and run away somewhere. It was as if everyone and everything around me wanted to blow a fuse and I wanted to eat them alive. Though a dear friend, a colleague of mine tried to cheer me up in the best of his abilities, I knew I had…
When Life gives you Lemons…
Have you ever been in a “Trishanku Heaven“? Where you are dangling in your own paradise and another? I had been – the last week. In fact, I was swinging to and forth among three choices- each one better than the other. All I had to do was pick. And the choice I tell you, is life changing….
