The Fruits of Perseverance
It has been a while since I last blogged and I'm writing to share the realization of a long cherished dream. My struggle to find full-time employment in my field is something that shows up in my blogs from time to time. Regular readers are familiar with my transition from unemployed to underemployed to doing … Continue reading The Fruits of Perseverance
Perfect In My Eyes
When we look in the mirror we either like what we see or we don't like what we see. We see flaws or we see perfection. It even goes beyond the physical aspects to character traits or even how we feel about ourselves. Our relationship with ourselves covers the entire spectrum from best buddy to … Continue reading Perfect In My Eyes
The Right Moment Will Never Come
How many times have you put off doing stuff just because the conditions weren't as perfect as you wanted them to be? For the longest time I wanted to do a yoga teacher training(YTT). I looked up several classes in the area. I looked up schedules and everything but always felt like it was a lot of … Continue reading The Right Moment Will Never Come
Disconnecting From the Matrix
Years ago I watched the movie "The Matrix" (several times for Keanu Reeves) and it seemed like a fantasy with no element of truth in it. But when I watched it when I was older (and wiser - ahem!) it seemed not too far fetched from the reality we wake up to every day. The daily … Continue reading Disconnecting From the Matrix

A Chapter from my Book : Thank You Dadima
Weekends at Dadima’s house were a lazy affair, for me that is. I woke up late, wandered around in my PJs, with my hair in a tangled and disheveled mess. Dadi would be up by 7.00 a.m. and would wash her hair, starch her cotton saris and put them on the clothesline for the maids … Continue reading A Chapter from my Book : Thank You Dadima
New Year and New Hopes
I don't know what it is about a new year that makes us all so optimistic. It is just another year, like the many others that have gone by, leaving behind dreams, aspirations and resolutions that never really took off. And yet every year is vividly different from the one before and the one after … Continue reading New Year and New Hopes
Why I Volunteer
So things haven't changed for the better since my last post. I'm still looking for work and resigning myself to the fact that I will have to wait until next year for something to come my way. When I feel stuck or feel that things aren't flowing or working for me, I do two things. … Continue reading Why I Volunteer
