Twenty-four by seven: #WriteBravely #WRITETRIBEFESTIVALOFWORDSJUNE2018   She toiled twenty-four by seven at Donna’s kitchen. “No rest for the wicked”, she always said with a winsome smile. Donna’s Kitchen was her life line, her haven and her home away from home. She had no family to call her own, but the staff and Donna were family now. Amelia actually enjoyed labouring almost twenty-four hours at Donna’s kitchen. After all Donna had given her everything, when she had just about nothing. And…

Last Song of the Dusk: #WriteBRAVELY #WRITETRIBEFESTIVALOFWORDSJUNE2018   At twenty-one who would have known that leukaemia would ravage Antara’s being, reducing her to a bag of bones.  It was hard to fathom that the bubbly, effervescent Antara, always brimming with joie de vivre; was now counting her last days. But not without a plan at hand. Antara’s bucket list was ready on her sixteen birthday and she had planned to tick the list off in the next ten years. Little did…

{Y} is FOR You FILL UP MY SENSES It’s Saturday morning and Homi Mistry is wooing Freni with, “You fill up my senses“. Freni is giggling with gay abandon. They have been married for sixty-five  years now. Mistrys are residents of the Dadar Parsi colony. April, every year, they wait with much anticipation for their grandchildren to troop in to their humble home. The children spend a few weeks of their summer vacations with the Mistrys. The children are arriving today….

{U} is for Uplifting Our Energy “Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” ~ Albert Einstein* Here’s an interesting April anecdote that has been instrumental in uplifting my energy. I had the good fortune of attending and hosting a Personal Energy Management workshop conducted by my dear…

{M} is for Mystic’s Magic Have you ever experienced a mystic’s magic? Did it transform your life? Or was it just a one-off  experience that took you to a unique level of mysticism? I’ve had a brush with a mystic’s magic. A life transforming experience to say the least. This is an anecdote from February 2005 which actually spilled into my April and the months and years ahead. The mystic here was none other than Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev.

{L} is for Love Conquers All “Good morning Mamma. Love you. Wake up now, it’s eight-thirty already,” says little Sam, enveloping Zaira in a warm hug. Zaira tilts her face towards Sam, sleepily rubbing her eyes, while trying to plant a kiss on his chubby cheek. Her head is still throbbing and she has no urge whatsoever to get out of bed. She hasn’t slept all night again and it is only in the wee hours of morning that she…

{I} is for Intimacy This winter has craved too much intimacy. It’s been a long drawn one and has over extended its stay, even though it is April already. Cara and Jonathan met last year at a friend’s Halloween party. It wasn’t love at first sight. Cara was known as the “Mighty Prude” in the Yale circles. Some even went on to call her “Frigid Cara”. Cara preferred her books over socializing. She barely had any bandwidth for the opposite sex….

{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 long Easter weekend is the perfect excuse to get away from our frenetic Parisian life. Pierre has meticulously chosen Briare, as our destination. I can’t wait to lay my eyes on Canal de Briare, the oldest canal in the world that runs almost thirty meters above the spectacular river Loire.

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.
