Of Idyllic Afternoons and Boat Rides: #WordlessWednesday
“Solitude is not the same as loneliness. Solitude is a solitary boat floating in a sea of companions.” – Rober Fulghum Of Idyllic Afternoons and Boat Rides: #WordlessWednesday In between the busyness of attending a family wedding in Calcutta, we took time away one misty afternoon, to regale in the beauty of the river Ganges. We went for an idyllic boat road, while other boats and grand ships drifted along side ours; savouring the enchanting serenity of a nippy December…
Cotton, Our Grand Old Lady: #WordlessWednesday
“My sunshine doesn’t come from the skies. It comes from the love that’s in my dogs eyes.” – Author Unknown Cotton, Our Grand Old Lady: #WordlessWednesday Cotton came into our lives eleven years ago, from a dog shelter in Singapore. Ever since she has filled our lives with joy, hope and calm. The day she arrived at our home, we discovered we were having another baby. Who else, but Aarshia, our ten-year-old. Cotton is an impeccable old girl with lady-like grace….
Fond Farewell: #FridayFotoFiction #GuestPost #Blogiversary
FOND FAREWELL: Keith Hillman When my mobile rings and I see my friend Rosey’s name on the screen, I know to hold the device a couple of inches away from my ear to lessen the pain of her shrieking greeting! But yesterday it was different. I heard nothing. At first, I assumed she’d pressed a wrong button and cancelled the call; she’s still not completely got the hang of her fancy new Apple Pip’ as she calls it. I…
Why I love Mindfulness as a Social Media Strategist: #ThursdayThought #GuestPost #Blogiversary
Why I love Mindfulness as a Social Media Strategist: Shailaja Vishwanath You may be wondering how mindfulness and social media can go together but the truth is, that really is the key to making social media work for you. It’s been a long, interesting and rather eye-opening journey of sorts- this road of mine. If you’re in the same space as I am- a blogger/social media user- you’d know that both these roles can take up a significant amount…
Exploring the Magical Cango Caves: #WanderlustWednesday #GuestPost #Blogiversary
Exploring the Magical Cango Caves: Esha M. Dutta For most visitors, an African safari is probably one of the main reasons for visiting South Africa. For us, though, it was those fascinating travel tales we’d been hearing from our friends in Mauritius, for well over fifteen years, that convinced us to realise our dreams. With the dawn of the New Year, our itchy feet chided us to pack our bags and leave. As soon as the school term ended in…

Is Blogging Worth It? : #Musings #GuestPost #Blogiversary
is blogging worth it? : Damyanti Biswas A huge thanks to Natasha for inviting me to her blog on the week she completes two years on Natasha Musing. Lately, a lot of bloggers have begun to feel a sense of hopelessness at the direction the blogiverse is taking: more paid posts, more reciprocal exchanges of comments and social media sharing, more appearance than reality, more conflict than community. I disagree.
Fill Yourself Up: #MondayMusings #GuestPost #Blogiversary
Fill Yourself Up- Corinne Rodrigues As I sit reading a romance novel, nibbling on peanuts, my thoughts start to wander to all the things I could be doing during this time. It seems like I’m wasting my time on something frivolous when I could be doing so much more – like settling cupboards, responding to important emails, or even planning more posts on my blog. The more I think about this, the guiltier I feel. Then I tell my ‘parent‘…
