Sitting on bed with hair down and back resting on a big cushion calling it a day and watching my favorite drama on Netflix – Never I Have Ever, story of an Indian teen growing up in America. Yes I am a teen drama person, really want to keep it light for there’s always much […]
There are many times in life when we do something that we don’t intend to. Why do we do something without an intention? Because all the negative feelings like hatred, anger, frustration, guilt etc. do not work with Intention. These feelings only know destruction and even though these can motivate you for a short while, […]
Of all the beautiful reads I had, the one that I could not get over was Rachael Lippincott’s five feet apart. I remember waking up for hours in the middle of the night, checking up my tab and having the long read. Intriguing, emotional, heart-wrenching and absorbing is how I define my favourite book. The […]
Picture this… A cup of coffee in one hand and a book in the other hand sitting on a swing in the balcony lost in my fantasy world. Nobody wanting me to do anything. No calls like ‘What’s for dinner? Where are my Pajamas? ‘When will the report get submitted? Or declarations like “Maid has […]
There’s something about the prefix ‘Un‘ when attached to a word. It takes a simple word and reverses it – making it sound so much cooler. ‘Unfinished’ – there couldn’t have been a better word to describe her, she is indeed far from finished. She – Priyanka Chopra Jonas (as it says on the cover […]
Some 15 years ago when I was pursuing my MBA, our college had arranged a Creativity Workshop. The whole campus was filled with booths having many creative activities but one that caught my attention was the pottery booth. It was messy and not too crowded. So, the first impression was that there’s nothing interesting there, […]
If you ask me what brings me joy, there are a lot many. Again if I have to choose, it is indeed hard for me, because my joy seems to link to the mental state i am going through and what makes me happy then. It might not give me the same joy on another […]
Have you ever been in love? (with a human being – can be but not necessarily a boyfriend/ girlfriend/ spouse) I can vouch for it that most of us have! At least for a brief phase . . . Love is an emotion that needs expression. Much goes wrong in relationships because of deficient expression, […]
When I was in college (graduation 3rd year), I read two books as a part of our syllabus – The Great Expectations by Charles Dickens and Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. Both are great works. Human relations, follies, expectations, insecurities, vulnerabilities – mainstay of these works. Me being a romantic to the core person […]
When it comes to joy after hardship, the first thing that comes to my mind is my first pregnancy, where after complications in pregnancy and an extremely painful vaginal delivery, I had my bundle of joy thereafter, by the grace of God, also mentioned in –https://wordpress.com/post/candlesonline.wordpress.com/9979 Another incident, which actually isn’t quite a real hardship, […]

well … i get a different impression from the blogs all over the place … everyone rights about women empowerment and their rights. It is as if men don’t already know about it … and why is that women support this effort ? Perhaps a subject with no fresh inputs … would like to hear more about other things such as spiritual, cultural and social issues … Not for you but in general ..

Sir, I agree with you and that’s the reason I normally don’t write attacking a particular gender. I write on diverse issues. My last post ” Wife or WiFi” it’s just a humorous take nothing too harsh.

Your article is good but not readable because it does not separate out the ideas in paragraphs. Writing a blog needs further study of composition and grammar.
So I read it but could not get my ideas in the mind elucidated or retain them.
Therefore I recommend that you first convert this article to a readable format.
And read about the Indian Law that states about dowry and domestic violence. There are male groups already questioning the law because it if heavily oriented towards females. They held demonstrations in Delhi a while ago.
Still the situation continues …
And what do you say about the exploitation by girls in marriage when they cause tremendous pain for the male.
These days men are worried and afraid of the girls and so are the girls for males .. for marriage
