Summer vacation! I was so excited that school was out and the kids were home. Not anymore. I wish they would go back to school. Or a maid would drop down from the heavens into my lap - or even better, into the kitchen! I have been maid-free for the past 10 years. In other words … Continue reading Let’s Help ‘The Help’

And You Wait And You Wait And You Wait…
In this age of instant downloads and the convenience of getting everything with just the click of a mouse, we are getting increasingly impatient. Life is so much easier to navigate with the host of gadgets that have been invented since the early 1900s and yet we all complain that we don't have time. We … Continue reading And You Wait And You Wait And You Wait…
Collective Consciousness
I was at a basketball game in February this year. Orlando Magic vs Atlanta Hawks. To get to the part I want to talk about I have to cut to the fourth quarter of the game (sorry guys!) Magic was trailing by two points. The Amway Center was full of Magic fans and they really wanted … Continue reading Collective Consciousness
Balancing This Tight Rope Act We Call Life…
Balance is something I absolutely love to talk about. Maybe because it reminds me of the tree pose or Vrikshasana in Yoga. When I started doing yoga I couldn't do the tree pose. I kept toppling over. I was out of balance. Had some dull aches and pains which I thought were 'normal' after childbirth and … Continue reading Balancing This Tight Rope Act We Call Life…
Attitude of Gratitude

Whenever I started whining she used to point out from our bedroom window to the slums behind our apartment and say - Look how they live and be happy you have so much. Well, I didn't think we had much and I never really got … Continue reading Attitude of Gratitude
Daring and Different…My Dadima
This post is long overdue. I meant to write this is 2009 and get it published in a newspaper or magazine in Chennai, India. Since that didn't happen I guess I'll have to be happy with this. M asked me the other day - who is your idol? I mentioned the name of my deceased … Continue reading Daring and Different…My Dadima
Living Fearlessly
Before I start I need you all to take a solemn oath that you will not laugh! You see, before talking about living fearlessly I have to talk about my fears. Some of my fears were really tiny. Like mustard seeds. No, really! Mustard seeds. Long long ago, so long ago that I don't remember … Continue reading Living Fearlessly
Journaling, Writing, Venting…
I almost didn't write this post. Here's what happened. I started writing about forgiveness (forgiving 101 was to be the title of this note) and then as I was writing so much anger welled up in me that I decided I'm not ready to write about forgiveness because 'I' have a lot of forgiving to … Continue reading Journaling, Writing, Venting…
Getting, Giving and Receiving
The world teaches you to get rather than give in order to 'get ahead' and be successful. How can you give unless you have enough for yourself right? Only billionaires can be truly generous you say. Let them give. I don't have enough to give. I need more for myself. If you are always looking … Continue reading Getting, Giving and Receiving
