  • Little memories…huge bliss

    Post hectic work schedules and non-stop meetings, as I sit back in my cubicle, badly in need of a breather, my hands absent mindedly click away on the laptop, going about the familiar work flows, under the instructions of my brain. But hey!!! Where’s the mind? Well, It’s kind of…

  • …And the little demurs of life

    Amidst hectic mornings, when I am as such in a rush, there are those moments of despair many a times, when the lift arrives late…and then as I head down towards the garage in the basement, a herculean effort is required to be applied to the heavy doors, to pull…

  • Why do I say no to socials…?

    Don’t you want to socialise? I tap myself with that question quite too often & it’s definitely not a ‘No’. Asking why? Well…that’s a tough one to answer!!!…Maybe for the obvious reasons and that is to please the self by trying to have some good time in good company…or probably…

  • Wanna compete to look good?

    In the wake of more and more people going in for surgical corrections, face-lifts, botox injections and many other out-of-the way procedures to correct or defy their ageing looks, attain weight loss or size zero figures, I have some questions for them to answer no-one but themselves: Many try to…

  • Cooking…a combination of the therapeutic + meditation + art

    After an early start each day, by early evening, my energy to think and function is dwindled down and mind begins wandering around thoughts of things that I could do after reaching home. The office hours end at 5.00 pm and since the travel is far, I choose to leave…

  • My First Day of Guilt!!!

    After a year long work break, my first day in a new office, commenced today. Having joined as a Senior Finance Manager, my boss, a senior person and professional, seemed very happy to have me as a part of his core team since the idea that  I would offload him,…

  • Good Morning Dubai

      A typical early morning december in Dubai… the streets filled with dense fog…nothing visible beyond a kilometer or maximum two…the city finds itself waking up to the chill and yet remains active…draped in an overcoat, as I walk on the foothpath, across the various signals while heading towards the metro…

  • My Connection with the Almighty !!! (Part I)

    Many a times I can strongly feel the presence of god around me….I know he’s just there…as ever…watching out…guiding…protecting… He looks on as I fail in some of the things that I attempted and miserably wished they succeeded but never did…WHAT IS HE DOING?, I have wondered agitatedly…only to eventually…

  • The Conditioning…Being ‘Good / Bad’ vs Being ‘Right / Wrong’

    I am not truly aware if this prevails in other parts of the world, but there’s a way with the traditional Indian community where children, especially girls, are conditioned to be good right since childhood. Same goes for our daughter-in-laws too – now it follows that a girl naturally progresses…

  • R.I.P.  Mr. Shashi Kapoor…

    Writing on films or film personalities is something not commonplace with me… though I do like watching Bollywood movies sometimes but more than that I like to follow some personalities on the internet occasionally…should I say because these are people whom I have admired as I grew up watching their…
