{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…

Things You May Want to Know About The New Terminal 2, Indira Gandhi International Airport, New Delhi: MondayMusing #MondayBlogs New Delhi airport has a brand new terminal: Terminal 2. A few of my friends who are traveling from outside India during this long weekend have been asking, where exactly is this terminal and what is it all about. I got to experience it first hand yesterday morning. So here ‘s my two annas: cents if you please; on T2. Terminal…
ONE WITH THE SKY This was taken last Sunday on a hike to the rugged, semi-bare; yet awe-inspiringly calm Aravalli forests. The placidness of the dusty path, a sole partridge running for cover, a splash of clouds wooing the azure sky, and two people close to my heart sharing some unique moments; left some indelible imprints. Footnote: It’s uncanny my post title reads as “One with The Sky”, given the fact that Esha who blogs at The Sky Girl and I…
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!”
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.
Ed and Jane had put all their life savings in erecting their two storey home. When typhoon Katrina lashed their city, their warm, cosy hearth was reduced to a dilapidated structure. The kids refused to live their anymore. They said it reminded them of that fateful day. But there was more to it than meets the eye. The occasional sightings under their bed. Their door creaking open at 3 A.M. They had endured it silently, knowing their overtly pragmatic parents…
“When the going gets tough, the tough get going.” – Joseph P. Kennedy (1888-1969) These beautiful lines by Joseph P. Kennedy, Father of U.S. President John F.Kennedy, has been my mantra for life, for the longest I can even remember. Probably way back when I was in school. This quote speaks volumes, in such less words. Life will keep challenging us every iota of a second, but we have to keep enduring and remaining strong, irrespective. Sometimes the curve balls…
My #MondayMusings is late by a few days, but I’m traveling and I’m trying my best to be as “nurturing” as can be. After all that’s the Word of the Year #WOTY for me. The amazing, Corinne of Write Tribe suggested we all have a Word of the Year, and I thought it was a brilliant idea. I was unable to participate in the prompt on time, but then since I want to have a word to follow through in 2018, it…
