A lot of things have changed for me in the last few days – living in a different country far away from loved ones, struggling to find a semblance of a routine and most importantly trying to wrap my head around the fact that it is still bright at 9 pm. Like I said, a lot has changed! Amidst all the chaos of living alone, […]
2020 definitely isn’t the year we wanted it to be. On New Year’s Day, when we made plans for the year, I don’t think most of us would have considered spending almost half the year or even more locked up in our houses. Forget all those trips that I wanted to go on, I’ve barely stepped out of my house unless absolutely necessary. But yes, […]
The last Monday of the year is upon us. 2019 is almost over and I can’t believe that yet. I know we keep telling that each year, but somehow I felt that this year went by in a rush and I’m still trying to process all that happened this year. There were highs and lows, but what matters the most is what I had to […]
The dark clouds gather in the sky promising some temporary relief from the sweltering summer heat. The gusts of the wind cool down the surrounding. I stand outside my door enjoying the glorious display that nature puts up in the form of the rains during summer. I grab a cup of hot ginger tea and a book and I settle down just outside my door. […]
But at times, you need to see the sun rise to remind yourself that there is light after darkness, that things can get better if you try giving them a chance.
While Mondays are usually spent wondering how did the weekend go by and waiting for the next weekend to come, today was a little different sort of a Monday for me. Stuck at home because of the bandh, an unplanned leave happened. While Eat-Sleep-Read repeat is usually the mantra for days like these, I had a strange urge to look at pictures from my childhood. […]
The cloudy Saturday morning doesn’t dampen my spirit. There is wind in my hair as I stop pedalling while going down a slope. The rains from the previous night have washed the roads clean and I seek to explore the inner streets of the locality that I live in. Being a Saturday morning, it is quieter than usual as the city hasn’t woken up like […]
If I had to make a list of all the things that I wanted to do and tried doing them all I don’t think there would be enough time. All of us seem to have a to-do list that can never be ticked off because there is only so little that we can do in the time that we have. But does that mean we […]
Life is too short to do all the things that we want to do. Yet, often when presented with an opportunity or when we have the choice to do something that we’ve wanted to do, we are unsure if we can do it. We hesitate to make that decision because we are scared to say “Yes”. We are worried thinking what if we fail. But […]
It is a beautiful summer morning. The sky is blue with white fluffy clouds while the sun shines brightly. It isn’t too hot. With the cool wind that blows, the weather is just perfect. There is no sign of the fact that there was a thunderstorm the previous night. If only I could be as calm with the storm that’s raging in my mind. In […]
