A Tribute to Dr. Chacko
The hands that whisked me out of the jaws of death when I was a wee baby lie lifeless in another part of the world. I never tire of telling the tale of the day I was born and nor did she. For it is truly a miracle that I lived to write these words. … Continue reading A Tribute to Dr. Chacko

A Month Together After Seven Years
After my brother moved to Sweden to pursue his Masters in 2012, I haven't met him. Our trips to India never coincided. Often we'd miss each other by just a couple of weeks.

One lane on the opposite side of the road was blocked by a police car. Around eight to ten officers were crowding over something. On looking closer, … Continue reading Man Against Man
When Florence Came…
It was just me and the kids against the fury of Florence - a category 4 hurricane hurtling towards the Carolinas. The models predicted that it was headed straight for us and was going to dump torrential rain and tear down trees with its catastrophic winds. I didn't know what to do.

When You Don’t Let Go
Old story. But you need to hear it again so I can set the stage for what I'm about to relate. Three years ago my family decided to move to India after living in the U.S. for nearly 13 years.
