Grandparents – Always and Forever

April 12, 2018

They’re often called by various names. Dada, Dadu, Dadi, Nana, Nanu, Nani, Nani-ma, Bade papa, Badi ma being the favourites amongst many. They are our Grandparents. I have fond memories of my childhood when holidays and school breaks meant a visit to Nani House. Bags were packed and countdowns recited with uncontained excitement. Nani […]

Playing Favourites

April 9, 2018

The first time it happened, she cried. She was hurt, disappointed, and heart-broken. She saw it happening but her heart refused to accept it.

Great Expectations

April 7, 2018

Oh, the world we live in! Where every day new relationships blossom and yet every minute ripe relationships fail. Why so.. we ponder. Now, I am not an expert on relationships or a Psychology major. But I have a keen sense of observation and I love reading – including people. Now that it’s out of […]

Dang! Depression – P.P.D.

However, it is one of the hardest things to achieve in this day and era. Before we delve into deeper aspects of this very simple life fundamental, […]

A Promise

April 1, 2018

What better way than to begin this challenge with a promise to myself. A promise to come out of this complacent, comfort zone I have lazily and happily settled into. There was a time I loved writing. Penning down my thoughts – either through real-life incidents or fictional tales was how I expressed myself. Over […]

Theme Reveal A to Z Challenge.

March 28, 2018

I’ll be honest. I wasn’t very keen on taking up this challenge as I already have my hands full with another challenge that walks and talks, keeps me busy 24X7, throws his arms around my neck as well as the most frustrating tantrums, my two-year-old. But then a very close friend (thanks Tamanna) pushed me […]
