Where Am I now?

So yesterday while watching the deviously delightful ‘Lucifer’ on Netflix I asked the husband the existential question- “do you think God has a plan for all of us…” He answered in the affirmative- more of a grunt, because I had obviously disturbed his ‘serial-watching- while reading football news on twitter’ evening with a far tooContinue reading “Where Am I now?”

Second wind!

And before you realise it, you’re already in the middle of the first month… New year is over. The lovely bubble of the Christmas season has burst and you’re already bogged down with the routine, you swore you’d never go back to! New year resolutions are finding their way back in to the box theyContinue reading “Second wind!”

My #TenYearChallenge

The #TenYearChallenge got me thinking- not of how I looked back then… With the correct filters , most people looked better, hotter and (though absolutely unbelievable) even younger in their current pic; but about who I was back then, what I believed in, what I wanted and how who I have become would measure up.Continue reading “My #TenYearChallenge”

Starting Anew

So the resolutions started and I made a few that I think I can keep. This year, I’m making ME my priority. After a failed set of blood tests— yes the nerd in me still can’t get over the fact that these are tests I cannot study for, hence fix; I decided-: My life=My health=Continue reading “Starting Anew”

2018

To sum 2018 up in a post would be impossible… the year had so much happening… it was often hard to comprehend all that happened in a week , forget in a year. Lessons were taught. Lessons were learnt. Wins were savoured and enjoyed. Losses were analysed and made peace with. And days rolled onContinue reading “2018”

Monetizing the #MeToo movement

There must be a special place in hell for those who not only stamp all over the #MeToo movement , but think it’s okay to monetise it! It wasn’t just a movement … #MeToo was a cry for help, for acknowledgement, for people to take responsibility for their boorish, lecherous and downright despicable behaviour! ButContinue reading “Monetizing the #MeToo movement”

Goodbye…(To all those people and experiences who I’ve said goodbye to)

via Goodbye…(To all those people and experiences who I’ve said goodbye to)

Goodbye…(To all those people and experiences who I’ve said goodbye to)

I really hate goodbye They make me sad , I hate to cry I question God and ask him why I really hate goodbye I don’t think it’s fair to let you go My heart aches but I won’t say so You made my life a better place Without you there’s a huge empty spaceContinue reading “Goodbye…(To all those people and experiences who I’ve said goodbye to)”

Achievements

So the last few days I have been thinking about so many things…top of the list– achievements and what do they mean? What is an achievement ? Does the finish line keep going further and further away … or at one point do you look back and say… “I did that!” Is the joy inContinue reading “Achievements”

You don’t do my life and I don’t do yours. Really?

So over the last few months I’ve become acutely aware of how similar , yet completely different each one of us is! Each of has our own drama, our own stresses and our own life story, completely unique but to listen to someone elses’ drama , you realise that you are not alone… the similarities,Continue reading “You don’t do my life and I don’t do yours.
