Imagine a sea of humans in a vast expanse of darkness, A lone candle burns in the hands of one, Observing his neighbors unlit candles, He proceeds to share the light of his candle with them. The light grows in intensity and more shadows jump out of the darkness, Almost threatening to snuff out … Continue reading Imagine

The Illusion of Time
Time waits for no man and yet we spend our lifetimes waiting for something to come along so we can finally live our lives the way we imagined it. Time becomes our enemy, robs us of peace, health and happiness and keeps us prisoners of hope. The clock ticks on incessantly - each tick taking … Continue reading The Illusion of Time
My Gastronomic Adventure – Part 2
Now the U.S. is a culinary jungle all by itself and living here for more than a decade has greatly influenced my cooking. As a young bride I focused on making everyday Indian food which was easy, given that I used to help my mom a lot in the kitchen and knew most of the basic … Continue reading My Gastronomic Adventure – Part 2

Signs Galore
I wrote a post last year about signs that have appeared in my life. Signs that thunderously declare the presence of a God, Universe, Consciousness or whatever you like to call it. But the signs this time were not speaking to me. Not pointing me in any specific direction and no earth-shaking discoveries or breakthroughs … Continue reading Signs Galore
You are Not Alone
The world has become unbearable to me. The more I try to center myself and tap into inner peace, the more junk it throws at me. I love the trash-to-treasure idea but what do you do with random acts of violence with absolutely no motive or reasoning. It's hard to erase those images from … Continue reading You are Not Alone

Peace Anyone?
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?
