{G} is for Goblins, Gnomes and Gypsy Spirits In the narrow alleys of Delhi’s Sultanpur, you find a small, red, slightly flimsy iron door that leads to an enchanting getaway where goblins, gnomes and gypsy spirits frolic and play. The world beyond this tiny, red door is magical and is much like tumbling down the same rabbit hole that Alice did. The door has a sign that reads: “The path to spirituality is through the smallest door.” – Rene Mey

{F} is for Far From the Maddening Crowd How often do you escape: far from the maddening crowd? To a silent spot, devoid of the humdrum and break neck scramble of the city life. Maybe when you take off for one of those precious vacations. Or upon waking up early morning for that walk or jog, or a cycling jaunt, like I do. Well, these moments of sublime quiet are way too valuable, given the busyness we have inundate ourselves…

E is for Enchantment School re-opens tomorrow after a fifteen day long spring break. There is a certain sense of enchantment and glee in the nine-year-old’s eyes. She has labelled her books neatly, without any help from Momma. After all she is a grown up girl now, almost  nearing ten. Her excitement and enchantment is more than palpable, and it spills into every corner of our home. She has begun to count hours now, before it’s time to go to…

{D} is for Destiny’s ChilD I am catching up with Zara, at our favourite café . The usual conversation over house helps, children, technology taking over our lives, some silly anecdotes from our hearth and so on.  But I notice she is not completely there. Her mind seems to wander off.

{C} is for Control I’m at the gym sweating it out. Trying to beat the blues and kick the stress out of my life. It’s been a stressful few months. Initially I was pretty  zen around it, and then the melt down happened. I felt like that babe in the woods who had lost her way back home. I am clueless on where my Buddhahood has suddenly disappeared. And then I find my answers. It comes to me from my…

{B} is for Burden or Unburden? It’s unusual for a weekday mornings to start on a lazy, relaxed, weekend kind of pace. I wake up late: 7:10 A.M. Today is not the usual rush hour morning. No burdens, no chores. I sip my tea, while watching inspirational videos. I’m going to take it easy today, as I was up late last night writing. It’s spring break. The nine year-old went off to her grandparents place with the DH, in the…

A is for Anachronism – Misplaced in time? It’s a pre-Easter morning that radiates the love and warmth of a receding spring. A pleasant breeze stretches out its lazy arms and wraps me in a warm embrace. I start my day with joy seeping into every fibre of my being. A mynah on our balcony chatters, announcing a promising day. One that spells anachronism, though seemingly misplaced in time… We are coming together in mirth and merriment. A bunch of kindergarten friends…
