Everything that happens is for a reason. Often we may not understand it at that point of time. But eventually, when we look back, we do get the answers. As the curtains draw on yet another year, I can only feel grateful, thankful and blessed. Though I encountered one of my greatest losses inContinue reading “GRATITUDE 2022”

HEIGHTEN YOUR HAPPY HORMONES
I have often viewed that having a balanced perception, driven by some purpose, is the best way to navigate your life.

Balance helps us to negotiateContinue reading “HEIGHTEN YOUR HAPPY HORMONES”
A Chance Encounter with Encampers
It was in the midst of the pandemic last year, when I was introduced to Ratan and Prakash, the founders of Encampers, whose reference was given to me by my son.

Of Mothers and Daughters
As a child I was quite a tomboy, always happy to be running or playing or jumping. But somehow it was the creative pursuits of my mother that inspired me to explore my own creativity. Whatever she did, she would do with great passion and an eye for perfection. As a very small child, IContinue reading “Of Mothers and Daughters”
When Magic Happens
When I was around eight, my father came back from a work trip bearing a precious gift for me – a bundle of books by Enid Blyton. Those books were my first introduction to the amazing world of reading. Though later I went on to read many other authors, my childhood was mostly spent inContinue reading “When Magic Happens”
The true elixir of life- friendships
Recently, my friend Babita had put up this tongue in cheek post jokingly suggesting that the transformation was due to the face masks we had applied. But really, looking at the photographs, I was amazed to see how relaxed, glowing and glamorous we all looked in the second photograph! This photograph was clicked on theContinue reading “The true elixir of life- friendships”
Music for the soul
It was the 3rd Anniversary of the State Cancer Institute, and the entire hospital staff was gearing up for the mega three day event. While everybody was assigned different roles, I found my hands full too.
