#ThursdayTreeLove 12: Different Strokes
“Trees are the poems that the earth writes upon the sky.” – Khalil Gibran
#Micropoetry – Rage
Creeps in stealthily Like a thief Though fleeting, Robbing me of my goodness Depriving me of my much deserved happiness.
Keeping that Happiness Intact : #MondayMusings #mg #HighlightsofHappy
I haven’t written since last Thursday. For some reason weekends snow ball into a busy time, and though I did try sitting down to write last evening, I drew simple blanks. So this morning after much thought and deliberation which also included exploring writing prompts, I chose to write yet again on happiness. I recently wrote one guest post on Isheita’s blog, as part of her birthday week celebration. You can read it here – Do I Deserve to Be Happy?
#MondayMusings: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Read : Girls Must Have Fun! Early this month I took a trip to Goa with my bestie. She has a little Enid Blytonish pad, beautifully furnished with immaculate whites, where we spent three dreamy days. It was my first girlie trip. Having heard so much about all the fun girls have when they go on the much talked about “girlie trips”, this was a much-anticipated one. We had planned to do this for a while, but you know sometimes…
Journey Down Memory Lane: #AtoZ 2017 Reflection Post
Aloha! I wrote this post during my travels but due to poor connectivity was unable to post it. Do pardon the tardiness.

Journey Down Memory Lane: #AtoZ Challenge Reflections 2017 5 April, 2017, Morjim beach, Goa, India I’m cooling my heels at Morjim’s black, sandy beach, Pinacolada on one side and a plate overflowing with the fresh morning catch of jumbo fried Pomfret, salad and some fries…
{Z} is for Zesty & Zany Life: #AtoZChallenge
Z is for Zesty & Zany Life The Conclusion, that continues… As the curtains draw to a remarkable close to the month of A to Z Challenge 2017, a part of me is despondent and the other part, happy as a lark. Despondent at the thought of the closure, happy at the idea of taking a break from the rigours of writing, researching, editing, posting, cross posting, commenting etc (for a bit). I intend to turn these 26 posts into a…
{Y} Yonder and Beyond: #AtoZChallenge
Y is for Yonder & Beyond Henceforth, and till I live, The World at Large Today is the penultimate day of the great AtoZ writing challenge It’s been a long, fascinating, yet demanding month-long ride. Also my first journey with AtoZ. It was a pleasure compiling 26 different stories of my enthralling travels experiences. Some replete with adventure, some plain simple revelations that the places brought with them and some life’s little nuggets of wisdom lent during the course of these…
{X} is for Xenial City of Nawabs: #AtoZChallenge
X is for Xenial City of Nawabs Another timeless classic I’m from Lucknow, capital city of Uttar Pradesh in North India, also known as the City of Nawabs. I choose to call it xenial as every pore of this ancient, city exudes hospitality, love and a deep-rooted pride for the cultural heritage. The people of Lucknow are warm, soft-spoken and courteous. The rich cultural heritage of the city is pretty much influenced by the Mughal era. This includes the…
{W} is for Walk of Wisdom: #AtoZChallenge
W is for Walk of Wisdom August 2016, Gurugram, India Sometimes it’s uncanny how your little ones will dispense pearls of wisdom your way, at the most unexpected moments. Wisdom that you probably didn’t give a fleeting thought to and that never really crossed the so-called deep recesses of your mind. I have had many such experiences with both my girls. I continue to learn from them each day. I feel, we as parents learn from our children as much…

Post Alert: Slightly long post, but honest to God, you won’t regret it. V is for Valiant & Victorious Ride 12 February, 2017, Bhuvaneshwari Devi, Gurugram, New Delhi Capital Region, India I’m an avid cyclist. A passion that I engage in it with as much ardor as writing. Though I wish I would ride more often, and have a time set aside each day to cycle, just like the way I have for writing. Well, hopefully someday soon that thought…
