Mishka’s Mother’s Day Homecoming: #WordlessWednesday

Mishka’s Mother’s Day Homecoming: #WordlessWednesday

“Being a Dog Mom is my happily ever after.” –  Annonymous             Mishka’s Mother’s Day Homecoming And just like that this Mother’s Day we bought home a fur ball of wonder,  little Mishka. Though Mishka is Aarshia’s, (our ten-year-old’s) eleventh birthday gift, but synchronously she arrived in our lives on Mother’s Day. I guess we don’t mind sharing her. Just saying.  Aarshia, you listening. 🙂 This has possibly been the best Mother’s Day; albeit the…

Once In a While We Need To Get Away: #MicroblogMondays #MondayMusings #MondayBlogs

Once in a while we need to get away… Once in a while we need to get away, from the rigmaroles of our every day routines, the busyness of our fast paced lives, from the mundane chores that we engage in. And from the spaces we have been living in.

How To Love Yourself in 2019: #GuestPost By Kiana Mason

  How to Love Yourself in 2019: By Kiana Mason   So many of us spend so much energy and time showing someone else that we love them. This is all done with good intentions, but why do we neglect ourselves in the process?   If we were as kind to ourselves as we are to those we love, imagine how much different our happiness and overall state of mind would be. That’s why this year I challenge you to…

5 Ways I Beat the Blues: #MondayMusings #MondayMotivation

5 Ways I Beat the Blues: #MondayMusings #MondayMotivation

I was hoping I would be done and dusted with the challenges of the 2018. But who said 2019 would come with a guarantee card, of an easier life. I really wish I could write a more optimistic post, and not start the first line by ranting. But such is life at times. I’m not giving up hope while life challenges me,  and I continue to look it up squarely in the eye and say, “Try me!” And here are…

My “Hygge” Moments: #WordlessWednesday

“The true essence of hygge is the pursuit of everyday happiness and it’s basically like a hug, just without the physical touch,” Meik Wiking, the author of The Little Book of Hygge: Danish Secrets To Happy Living, and CEO of the Happiness Research Institute in Copenhagen

“Living here on Earth, we breathe the rhythms of a universe that extends infinitely above us. When resonant harmonies arise between this vast outer cosmos and the inner human cosmos, poetry is born.” – Daisaku Ikeda MY WORD OF THE YEAR AND ALL THAT JAZZ: You may wonder what’s taken me so long to come up with my Word of the Year (WOTY), while most of you are done and dusted (err not really, rather have begun to work) with…

Of Idyllic Afternoons and Boat Rides: #WordlessWednesday

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…

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…

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‘…
