Mommy to a 4yo Angel :-)

November 17, 2018

Dear Angel, It often happens that I sit to write something for you with an amazing string of thoughts in my mind but no amount of words ever do any justice to them. I write and rewrite, over and over, feeling that I haven’t conveyed even a minuscule percentage of what I intended to. Motherhood… Read More Mommy to a 4yo Angel 🙂

Blowing away smoke rings, symbolically

July 21, 2018

I held the white and yellow stick elegantly between my fingers and gingerly placed it on my parted lips. Within moments a wave of relief swept over me even as people around eyed me with a hint of fake derision. “I’ll never smoke in my life!” had been my adamant stand. What made me change… Read More Blowing away smoke rings, symbolically

Now cooking, with son: Paneer Lasagna

June 8, 2018

Cooking and writing are two of my favourite hobbies. No wonder then that sharing recipes, which involves both, is fast becoming my favourite third hobby. 🙂 I prefer home food over outside food and like to toss up a storm in my kitchen with dishes I find interesting.

5 things I cannot live without #SuperBloggerChallenge2018

March 21, 2018

‘Tere bina jeena bhi hai kya jeena’ the lyrics went. Time and again Hindi movies and songs have reminded us that love is something we cannot live without. The romantic that I am, I deeply believe in it. Love, however, has many dimensions. Categorising it or measuring it in quantitative terms isn’t possible. Sometimes I… Read More 5 things I cannot live without #SuperBloggerChallenge2018

Mothers can raise their sons right

March 5, 2018

Parenting is tricky and a constant struggle not just with our own upbringing and instincts but also with what is taught and followed by the ever-increasing brigade of know-it-all helicopter parents. There is so much of debate nowadays about what we’re supposed to do that what we like doing sadly takes a backseat. As parents,… Read More Mothers can raise their sons right

My permanent profession ~ Motherhood #MondayMommyMoments

January 10, 2018

We like it when things are laid threadbare to us, are simple to understand and most of all, don’t challenge the thoughts and beliefs we’ve grown up with. Introducing even a slight twist in this arrangement can sometimes rattle us. Since forever we’ve been fed the notion that mothers have to be sacrificial lambs by… Read More My permanent profession ~ Motherhood #MondayMommyMoments
