I miss you at sunset, And at the crack of dawn, I miss your warm smile and your gentle touch, How can life just move on? People say this too shall pass, How do I tell them I don’t want it too; I’d like to hold on. Fear and anger they come in waves, I … [Read more…]
So, I’m going to dedicate this post to all my non-mommy friends (NMFs) who I may not have appreciated enough. I strongly believe every mommy must scout and invest in at least one NMF. When I say non-mommy I include singles, both men, and women, and married couples who haven’t jumped the baby wagon, or those … [Read more…]
I don’t want to have it all. I really don’t. It’s too much pressure; not just for me, but for those around me too. I behave like a maniac trying to achieve my goals; imagine then if my goal was to have it all!Coming to the question – Can women have it all? I’d say … [Read more…]
Disclaimer – This post isn’t about gender equality. The Male flu – A dear friend recently introduced me to this one. I was intrigued with the term and thought about it many hours later, too. Over several cups of tea, coffee, and even brunches I distinctly remember having long-drawn conversations on this very same topic … [Read more…]

Each time she reached a new milestone I experienced mixed emotions: happiness, sadness, anxiety – they came … [Read more…]
This morning, I was chatting with a friend who recently gave birth to a little boy and she happened to mention how amazed she was with the human body – how it allows for a whole human to be pushed out. To that, I answered like a typical mother of a two-year-old. The one that’s … [Read more…]
So, last night we were invited to a house party (kids included) and I thought I should head to a salon and get a professional to blow dry my hair; make it look a little more presentable. However, given the heat Bangkok is blessed with I just couldn’t get myself to move out of the … [Read more…]
Today I feel like a brat parent – a parent who believes she has earned the right to whine, merely because she didn’t sleep through the night, I mean just one night in 365 days. My dear husband is travelling and I guess Little Z felt the urge to change her schedule, just for kicks. … [Read more…]
I logged into my facebook account this morning and came across a fantastic letter written by my dear friend, and now author Sakshama Puri Dhariwal. She penned an Open Letter to Karan Johar on the subject of homosexuality in his films. She actually called out to KJo – how cool! I must confess I am not … [Read more…]
