Here I will share my diary pieces, my ramblings, my thoughts, and my feelings. This is my personal space to debate with myself and question things. This is also where I will write my poetry. I feel it’s easier to say how I feel sometimes through verse and rhyme.
And this is the space for me to share open letters to my children as they go through various moments in their lives.
Blogmas 1 – Why I Celebrate Christmas Welcome to Blogmas 2018. I only started blogging in January so this is my first Blogmas. I’m really excited to take part in this – although I hope I don’t run out of ideas halfway through! For those of my readers who don’t know, it’s basically an advent…
A Letter To My Daughter Dear Shalini, I’m writing this to you on your 13th birthday. I can’t believe that my baby girl has become a teenager. I can’t get over the fact that so many years have flown by in the blink of an eye. You tower over me now. You’re at least two inches…
Time Out I’ve returned to my blog after taking some time out. We went on our annual holiday and this year we chose the Dominican Republic. When we booked the trip in April, I had originally planned to blog while we were out there. I had only been into the first few months of my…
16 Things I’ve Learned In 16 Years Of Marriage Sukh and I are celebrating 16 years of marriage today. We tied the knot on 31st August 2002. So I thought I would write a reflective post about our marriage, our friendship and our life together. I have no idea how we’re celebrating yet. We might be…
My Single Parent Test My husband Sukh and I often go away for work. Even though my trips are shorter – no more than ten days at a time – they’re more frequent. Read about my recent trip to Mumbai here. Sukh’s first work trip abroad came in the summer of 2016 when he went to…
On The Eve Of My 40th Birthday This is a post I wrote on the 6th November, on the eve of my 40th birthday, as part of a mini-series about reaching this milestone age. Read about my birthday celebrations here and about how I should dress for my age. As I only launched my site…
The Handover I’m on my way to Mumbai for a work trip and writing this post as I sit on the plane. There are still three hours to go until we land and people around me are fast asleep. I can’t ever sleep on a plane, so I’m writing this instead. It’s standard practice that…
My Daughter Is Taller Than Me I have never had a hang-up about my height. I’ve become used to having people tower over me, at a mere 5’3 (and a half). Sometimes I’m the shortest in a group. My parents aren’t very tall and neither are my sisters. So it’s never been an issue. And…
