What if I were forgotten , as if I were never there? What if you couldn’t see me anymore , what if you didn’t care? When my life is over , would you know my name? Would I be remembered, would sunsets feel the same ? What if I were forgotten , as if I were never there? Isn’t life so transient- a breeze just … Read More …to all who have lost someone

So off to the bank we went. Adulting is hard even when you are older. It seems everyone and here, by everyone you really mean your parents,- can do stuff way better than you! How they got so good at fixing everything is beyond me… but I decided let’s give it a try and handle some bank work on my own! It seemed simple … Read More Sour Puss & Kotak Mahindra Bank

We’ve all probably heard ‘Like Attracts Like’ and of course the funnier- ‘Fools seldom differ!’ And I always wondered on the same. Whereas ‘Opposites Attract’ seemed a more perfect description of the husband and me with him being the strong , silent type and me the more emotional, opinionated one, over the years, I realised that he and I were more alike than we … Read More Fools Seldom Differ

So the discussion veered to ‘Mental Health.’ How brave is it for someone to acknowledge that they need a mental health day, or that they are going through depression , or that they need help-I was told? Brave as it may be, I countered, it’s often still a luxury for most families in India to be allowed a mental health day. And as much … Read More I’m Not Ok. You’re Not Ok!

They converted our feelings into ‘Breaking news.’ With Wing Commander Abhinandan’s bloodied nose, blindfolded interview and subsequent calmer interview- news channels and twitter was on overdrive this last week. And that’s the thing- it happened during 26/11 as well. News channels did whatever it took to get TRPs even if it involved giving out sensitive information. It happened again. And it will keep happening. … Read More Breaking News

And so the last week of January draws up and before you know it all the ‘new puppy feeling’ of 2019 has gone and it’s been replaced by -‘oh my God , it’s another year!’ This was never seen more clearly when we walked in to an almost empty gym realising that a whole bunch of resolutions had been broken and more than a … Read More The Great GIVE UP

The husband complained more than a few times of my accurate description of his grunts and TV watching style. This amused me thoroughly and when I asked whether I should photograph him as proof or use his name in the blog- he grunted his approval while staring at his phone screen! Conclusion-: He (Aditya) can stare at a phone screen at all times… it’s … Read More Find your Fun

So the resolutions started and I made a few that I think I can keep. This year, I’m making ME my priority. After a failed set of blood tests— yes the nerd in me still can’t get over the fact that these are tests I cannot study for, hence fix; I decided-: My life=My health= Me! Change can only happen if you want it to !It can’t happen … Read More Starting Anew

To sum 2018 up in a post would be impossible… the year had so much happening… it was often hard to comprehend all that happened in a week , forget in a year. Lessons were taught. Lessons were learnt. Wins were savoured and enjoyed. Losses were analysed and made peace with. And days rolled on faster than they had ever rolled on before! But … Read More 2018

There must be a special place in hell for those who not only stamp all over the #MeToo movement , but think it’s okay to monetise it! It wasn’t just a movement … #MeToo was a cry for help, for acknowledgement, for people to take responsibility for their boorish, lecherous and downright despicable behaviour! But much like things that take time, work, patience and … Read More Monetizing the #MeToo movement
