The World cries War! War! War! and my tiny heart weeps and cries for Peace. Peace and brotherhood beyond the confines of nations, religions and race. Isn't it high time? Do we want the 21st century to be named the Darkest Ages Ever? Seriously! Have we progressed? Look back at history and you see the … Continue reading Peace Anyone?

The Power of Prayer
I started jotting down my prayers in a journal sometime in early July this year. I was intrigued by the maid Aibileen in "The Help" who wrote down all her prayers in a prayer book. Everyone thought her prayers worked. I read about the same thing in "Write it Down, Make it Happen". So I … Continue reading The Power of Prayer
Guest Blog – My First Volunteering Event at Dream a Dream (by Dinesh Damodaran)
Sometimes I think about the life I’m living I seem to take more than I’m giving More vengeful than forgiving More reluctant than willing Cynical without believing Need to start emptying the bad So the goodness can start filling The opposite of death is not life but birth, And we make that journey to figure … Continue reading Guest Blog – My First Volunteering Event at Dream a Dream (by Dinesh Damodaran)
Letting Go…
Ever heard of clingy Cancerians? Well, I'm one of them although I'm loath to admit it. I even go around advising others to let go! But Life caught up with me one day and shook its finger at me. And I had to admit that I was far from walking the talk, practising what I preach.I … Continue reading Letting Go…
Out of the Ashes Rises the Phoenix
I can count the number of movies I have cried for. "Anjali", "Taare Zameen Par", "The Notebook" and "Titanic". This week I added a new one to my tearjerker list - Dolphin Tale. It is a tale of triumph. Overcoming odds. Resilience. The American Heritage dictionary defines resilience as the ability to recover quickly from … Continue reading Out of the Ashes Rises the Phoenix

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…

Thanks to all the wonderful words of encouragement and appreciation that you have been showering on me, I've been floating around with my feet six feet off the ground. And just the other day I met my first critic who brought me crashing down to terra firma. So picture this. A room full of people … Continue reading Word Power
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
My dear mother taught me this very early in life. 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
