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
Marriage 101
What with it being our 10th anniversary this week, I simply had to write this. For all you people out there who think marriage is something straight out of the pages of a Mills and Boons novel - think again! Sure you'll have several steamy scenes playing in your wedded life but to imagine that … Continue reading Marriage 101
A Sign From Above?
The first instance that came into my head when I thought about signs is of the time we were driving to Orlando or Tampa (I'm not sure which one). It's a long drive, an hour or two depending on where you are headed. Somewhere along the way P and I started arguing and when it … Continue reading A Sign From Above?
For All My Single Friends
Funny that this note started out as Love 101 - everything you need to find and keep the love of your life! But then fate intervened and I read this book called "Empowering Women" by Louise Hay. Changed my life (just yesterday by the way!) So let me start by apologizing to all my single … Continue reading For All My Single Friends
Forgiveness 101
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. That is a line from the Lord's prayer or "Our Father" as we dubbed it as school girls studying in Good Shepherd Convent. I must have said that prayer a thousand times or more in the 14 years I spent in a school … Continue reading Forgiveness 101
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
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
