What would be your response when your child questions, whether she/he should follow your footprints? I was blank. I could see, the reel of my life started rolling in full HD!
Gazing at the Dawn!
The voice of a rusted soul as she walks through the dawn, stirring the riddles of her life to seek the dusk!
Settled or Settler: Immigration Woes!
Be it deciding the stream for higher studies or surviving the last day of graduation, waiting for the job response or being on the verge of getting hitched, the pressure of procreating thereafter or choosing the best nursery school for the life hence created, the question is, are we ever settled in life? Lately, I…
What is ‘PEACE’?: Mini-Me defines!
Of all the blogs I have written so far, this piece about ‘PEACE’ took me a lot of time ( a lifetime probably, had I wished to achieve it first and then write)! Every day after coming from school, she hugs me. But that evening, the way she hugged me was a bit different. There…
ME, MINI-ME, AND ME-BOOK: #MothersDay
Perplexed and panting I woke up this morning to find my 5-yr-old cuddled up next to me. ‘Oh, dear Lord!!! Thankfully, she’s still a mini-Me!’, I told myself. Such was the DREAM; the conversation that led to a realization. 12 hours before the DREAM: ME: Why Maa? Hasn’t the doctor asked you to reduce your screen…
Let the dawn of Compromises begin!
Turning some lost pages of life, I found these lines bearing the sigh of what is called ‘Compromise’!

Before publishing this blog, I thought to translate this…
Of Sex and Obligations: I see you Woman! #womanforwoman
In the middle of an intense chit-chat, her phone beeps annoyingly. A smirk on her face, Aunt Pam—the agony aunt of our social circle extends her phone to me to read too. A WhatsApp group ‘Sexy, Naughty, Bitchy’ with a message, ‘Mrs. X’s daughter-in-law’s marriage is in trouble’. Mrs. Y’s comments ‘SEX is the only…
An Ode to Adolescence!
The song ‘Que Sera Sera’ had a great impact on my growing years. Sitting by my window, glancing at the moon, I would wonder about my future! And many a times I would doze off humming ‘Que Sera Sera, whatever will be, will be, the future’s not ours to see…Que Sera Sera’! One fine day,…
Thank You Ex: Happy Valentine’s Day!
How I wish, I get a chance to meet the wonderful EX of my GUY and say -Thanks! Before the troll police plans to slam me or I receive a grin from you, I would tell you why and how this noble thought cropped in! DISCLAIMER: This piece has no intention to spoil the day…
The ‘About Me’ Dilemma
Greeting the big blog world, here I begin my blogging journey with elan! To write or not and if at all write, then what to write? I am not a social butterfly, neither an online influencer, not an established writer and have absolutely no Bollywood connections here! Who am I then? This question got me…
