In rushed twenty twenty-twoClose on the heels of twenty twenty-oneRaising hopes of good tidingsOf love, joy, fulfillment and cheer Now as it bids us adieuIt’s the time to reflect what gifts it offered me and youWhile at the threshold of yet another year with promises anewPonder awhile how the year of old has seen you […]

Just another day, another page from mother-daughter diaries: A few days back I was having a regular “to/before bed” conversation with my daughter, who was as usual raring to go with her canon of questions.

“Mom I have a doubt,” said my 6 years old daughter. “What’s it dear?” I asked, to be only left stumped by her question. “Why papa loves you when your face is full of spots?”. I am not even exaggerating, those were really her words. And I don’t blame her for she is growing up […]

Recently, while cleaning my favorite coffee mug it slipped from my hand and broke. I felt bad for a while and thought it is of no use now. But after a while, the Japanese idea of mending broken objects came to my mind. Well, I don’t have gold, so I used Feviquick Gum and fixed […]
