My cousin G's wedding was one of the reasons I really wanted to be in Chennai for the winter holidays. She called me sometime in August when she was fixing the date and the venue and confirmed that the kids and P were off for Christmas/New Year. I assured her that we would make it … Continue reading The Chennai Chronicles – Part 3 (The Wedding)

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?
Love Never Dies…
Sandy hit last week and took many people with it. The pictures of the damage were heart wrenching. One cold December not too long ago we woke up freezing. A freak ice storm had left our town without power. We had to live in a friend's place and then a hotel for five days until … Continue reading Love Never Dies…
Vegan or Vegetarian?
I turned vegetarian when I was 16. I saw a goat being slaughtered on television. I saw chickens with their feet tied to the handlebars of bicycles, their beaks grazing the wheels.

Instead I have taken just the good points from it with … Continue reading The United Nations of the World

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. They came through you but not from you and though they are with you yet they belong not to you. - Khalil Gibran I'll be the first one to admit that I am not the world's best parent … Continue reading What Do You Do With Your Sweet Bundles of Joy?
The Help (Part 2)
I had to write this because I did not mention one stellar person in my last post (Let's Help "The Help"). Probably because I never did consider her the help. She has been around for such a long time that she is part of our family. When my friends came home I always introduced her … Continue reading The Help (Part 2)
