Talking about my mother, have you ever seen a panda cranky? Yes, that’s how cute she is. Some days when she is cranky she expresses

It’s 10/10 today and I wish life too was a perfect 10 on 10. When we break our leg, those around us immediately rush us to the doctor, but when we are hurting, aching and broken on the inside…there is no one to do the same. There is help out there but none of us want to take it because sadly, the fear of being judged and talked about is bigger than the need to be healed. We all are grieving.

I have learnt that life has no rules. No guidelines to show you who you are it doesn’t direct you to what should be done: What it takes to be strong, what it takes to have courage and stand up for yourself. Some of us are somehow born with conviction And some of us learn it the hard way. I have learnt that life is a journey. Destination unknown. It definitely is not a bed of roses, But it doesn’t

Eagerly waiting to spot a shooting star shower looking left and right but just then again , like every time bedazzled by it’s light I forgot to wish upon it’s swift flight. What to be wished upon if I spot one again scattering my thoughts like a

This morning, our garbage bag was left uncollected outside our apartment. Like most places, the maintenance staff collects our garbage everyday. I knew that they had come as I had instructed the maid who works at our place to hand over the garbage. Yet an hour later, it lay there, open and not tied. Puzzled, I asked the maid. She told me that everyday she walks up to the bin and dumps the garbage herself while the maintenance staff look

It was a warm summer day in a part of north India. It was about 4.00 PM and the world was still enjoying its siesta. The birds were chirping happily in our little garden. Playing in the small puddles of water they were lucky to have. I had just gotten off duty and had reached the gate of my premises. Always happy to do that and I was looking forward to a nice cup of my dad’s tea to rejuvenate me. Just

I love going for a car ride with my family. My younger sister and I play games and listen to music while sitting in the backseat. I also love gazing out of the car window and observing the people and the things around. But whenever the car stops at the traffic signal, I feel very sad. Do you know why? Have you seen people wearing torn clothes and begging for food and money? Sometimes there are also small children with

Many many years ago while at college I had read a book by M. Scott Peck called the “Road Less Travelled”. It had significant impact on me, yet the life I chose was pretty conventional with few deviations. So it comes as a breath of fresh air when you see people live extraordinary lives, throwing caution to wind and actually walking the road less travelled. It makes you sit up and ponder could I have possibly lived another way, could
