But that’s not been what has kept me from writing….it’s just incredible and scary new life lessons I have had to learn. Everyone is an actor. Most people areContinue reading “The face that I put on”

A Little Respect!
We’re pushed around. We’re passed over. We change who we are, change what we want to be. And we blame everyone around us for the situations we are in. Bad marriages, bad jobs, bad family lives… Take a second. Why do we allow ourselves to be bullied? When people disrespect us or our time orContinue reading “A Little Respect!”
No time? Why?
‘ I have no time,’ a constant complaint from all of us. ‘I can’t believe where the day /week/ month / year went!’ It went. And you were there. But you weren’t actually present. We’re always so busy. But busy achieving what? We spend less time with family and friends. We are divided between dutiesContinue reading “No time? Why?”
Treat her like a lady!
Stop wishing me ‘Happy Women’s Day!’ Don’t fill your offices with balloons or give me a free cookie with a cup of coffee! Don’t give me chocolates or roses. Don’t smile at me unnecessarily or create lunches to felicitate me! Instead treat me as an equal. Treat me with respect. Pay me the same asContinue reading “Treat her like a lady!”

Take a Chance on Change!
To start over…something must end. To say hello… sometimes we have to say goodbye.To laugh again…sometimes we need to have cried! Divya Palat It’s so hard when things are over when we just keep holding on!

Just because they are family doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings!
This weekend a movie (English Vinglish!) and a conversation with a friend made me think of something very important. We often take family for granted and sometimes the unkindest cut of all comes from those closest to us. They may not aim to be mean. It might be just a thoughtless remark or an angryContinue reading “Just because they are family doesn’t mean they don’t have feelings!”
