I know all Gods are one and the same but I would like to address this thank you note to Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Guru of Sikhs. This is because I have heard tales of his selfless love for mankind from my mother. I want to thank him for all that he has given me and most of all for giving me such loving and kind parents and a very cute little sister. I can’t thank him enough for

Everyday I come across women feeling guilty; guilty of not being a good mother, a good wife, a good daughter, a good daughter-in-law, a good employee, a good employer, and so on.  Anything happens in the family; the women start blaming themselves as not being able to handle the situation properly.  If the child gets hurt, she blames herself.  If the husband is not getting enough attention from her, she blames herself.  If the in-laws aren’t satisfied, she blames herself. 

When I came across  “Appreciate in August” on The Wonder Women World platform, I could no longer contain my feelings. Let me grab this opportunity to let the world  know that Mr. Ram Ranjan Verma is not only a good father, husband or son but is a warm hearted and affectionate father in law too.  Lovingly and respectfully, I call him Mamaji as he is my husband’s uncle but the warmth and endearment, he exudes, is unparalleled. He treats us

Literature and arts were an integral part of my upbringing, even after completing my studies and now working in the field of engineering, my love for writing remains the same. This is the reason that I easily bond with people from the field of literature, but just as the coin has two sides so does the nature of people. I started writing under my pen name and slowly my network of people with a flair for writing started growing, thereby

“Appreciation is a wonderful thing.  It makes what is excellent in others, belong to us as well”. These days, we don’t display gratitude towards life. We have become ungrateful, insensitive towards it. So, this August as a part of “Appreciation in August” initiated by The Wonder Women world, I would like to take an opportunity to appreciate the good things in life, the little luxuries of life, that we often miss.  I read somewhere that a person serving in a

In continuation with the theme of appreciation that’s on this month, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the founder of The Wonder Women World, Charmaine Timothy. To begin from the beginning, I used to relish the weekly columns that featured in various newspapers and would wonder if I could ever have one like that when I grew up.  Then life took over and I got busy with its little businesses until I received a mail from Charmaine. When she

I have a confession to make. Today’s post is not about my parenting experience, it’s not even about my little munchkin’s growing up, it’s surely not about how great I am doing as a mother. It’s about an ugly truth, it’s about my scars, my flaws. Motherhood is beautiful, it is blissful. It’s surely the loveliest phase in womanhood. There is no joy that is close. It’s like reliving your childhood. But is it always fun?? At least that’s what my Instagram feed says,

While raising my two little children, there were days when I would tell my husband, “I can’t do it anymore. I want to quit.” I let go off many opportunities that came my way. There were times when I had to stay strong while I was crumbling from inside looking at my injured or bullied child. There have been days when I cried with guilt after my kids slept as I felt I had been hard on them (a tad

It’s what you see, with the lens that you use! MY FATHER, NK, whom I lost at the age of 13, was a great man in every aspect. He worked in Reserve Bank of India in Mumbai, was extraordinarily intelligent and was very humble. He had many friends, was very generous and helped many people in many ways. He was in a very high position at a very young age and was a role model to the entire family of

Appreciation is defined as recognition and enjoyment of the good qualities of someone or something.  I appreciate my mother because she is the one who gives me constant encouragement and confidence. One day, I was doing gymnastics and I did not know how to do a “back hand spring”. No body appreciated me because of this but my mother was the one who motivated me and said “Anusha don’t be scared I am there for you!”. These words were enough
