Things That Make Me Happy: #WordlessWednesday
In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer. – Albert Camus
Gratitude for August 2018: #GratitudeCircle
August is my birthday month and I look forward to it with much anticipation. In my head I believe that August must turn out perfect. But the August of 2018 proved to be a mixed bag of surprises. Some great, and some not so great. There were challenges galore, but the month was also dotted with exceptional blessings.
Solo Sunsets: #WordlessWednesday
SOLO SUNSETS I need to share the back story of this #WordlessWednesday post by getting wordy. 🙂 And I would not have it any other way, so pardon me. This picture has a very special place in my heart, as it was shot on my first solo trip. On my first evening in Goa, I hopped across to Thalassa, the café on the hillock of the Vagator beach; to watch that surreal sunset many had spoken about. I know…

{C} is for Control: #AtoZChallenge
{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…
Thawing My Frosty February:#MondayMusings #MondayBlogs #GratitudeCircle
A quarter of a brand new year is over; almost. Yet, it seemed the shortest month of the year, was the longest. Simple ironies of life, you see. February reared its wicked head at me in more ways than one. But instead of bludgeoning it with the defeatist question, “Why me?” I looked it straight in the eye and said, “Try me!”
Ma: My Shakti, My Warrior Queen
This nebulous February afternoon, I realise my post “When the Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going” was written with a divine purpose. Everything in life is synchronous. I do not believe in coincidences. That post probably spilled out of my being, so that it could be a reminder that was the only way to be; positive and strong.
Adieu 2017 With Deep Gratitude
Long Post Alert! But then how does one sum up a year in 100 words, without giving gratitude! 😉 It’s that time of the year when many of us bloggers/writers write a reflective post on the year gone by. A year that left imprints in our hearts: some good, some not so good. But we chose to take forward the lessons and learning from both, don’t we? I’m bidding 2017 adieu with deep gratitude in my heart. We all know…
The Rafting Adventure: #WanderlustWednesday
This is a long overdue about my exhilarating rafting adventure in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India. Rishikesh, some of you would know has earned its name as the “Yoga Capital of the World”. Teeming with ashrams that offer Yoga and meditation this bustling little township, nestled in the foothills of the majestic Himalayas, has been a haven for spiritual seekers. This much before the Beatles rocked at the ashram of Mahesh Yogi in the late 60s. The holy river Ganges flows through…
Life is a Cycle #MondayMusings
My weekends are getting busier and more interesting. On Sundays I go for a long ride with my Life is a Cycle buddies. Ours is a band of crazy and avid cyclists who not just cycle for the thrill of cycling, but to engage in silly banter, gorge on the various lip-smacking street food and sip on the milky roadside chai that awakens ones spirits, all while engaging in this fun sport and fitness regime.
