“If you want something, you have to fight for it!” my FIL stated emphatically. No. It was not in the context of something inspirational yet it turned out to be one for me. He was speaking of the red-tapism and the attendant struggles in getting anything done in Bangalore. Am sure it is true of […]
In the middle of a conversation with my friend, this came up. “You were not like this before…” she stated. It was a simple declaration. She aught to know. After all, she is my best friend. I must have filed it at the back of my mind to process later because I did not know […]
As Akay pinged me like she usually does, I responded with a cheery Hi! A couple of lines later, she asked if I was following the Niketa and Harsh Mehta news story. I was. You can read more on the case/story here.
While I have opinions on some matters, Akay is the one who has a […]
Lying on the couch yesterday afternoon after a filling meal consisting of leftovers from the get-together on Saturday. I watched K clear the kitchen. A random thought crossed my mind and I asked him “How many ‘bad’ words do you know?” Interest piqued, he thought long and hard and replied with some of the commonly […]

Reaching home unusually early last evening, I stood by the stove fixing dinner and forced him to switch the TV off and look at my laptop for some information I needed. Our kitchen and family room faces the west at an angle and we have a window in the vaulted ceiling that streams the room […]
Late morning yesterday we received notice of a 8:00 AM learning session Friday. Groaning inwardly I took a quick look at the agenda. It was for a tool we use extensively at work and I thought we knew everything there was to it. The list of topics did not cover anything new except for one […]
Early yesterday morning I heard from my friend of two years that she had been let go. It took me more than a minute to understand what she was saying. The first question that crossed my mind was “Why?”
Why indeed? For years, we have heard of people we know go through it. Yesterday was the […]
My mom made this comment referring to something she read early this morning. The comment made me snap out of my drowsy early morning stupor. Not because I disagreed with her, but because it made me fume with pent up anger over a generation of mixed messages.
