Watching the election results trickle in and like magic just past the 11:00 hour, the screen on my TV flash “Barack Obama elected the 44th President of the United States”, I could feel goosebumps on my skin. Sure was a historic moment. Not so much for the race part. Yes it does matter but for […]
As part of an Effective Leadership class I am taking this term, yesterday’s class ended with a discussion of corporate culture. As we meandered through different topics the one thing that kept coming back to my mind was the discussion on how companies were termed conservative because of their dress codes.
As I have mentioned here […]
Walking down the corridor that leads to my classroom, I passed several of my new classmates. Smiling vaguely and waving Hi I reached and found ‘my’ seat unoccupied in the second to last row of the room. Finding my teammate M already there, I heaved a sigh of relief. She was one person I did […]
In one of my regular conversations with my friend, we went down a rather thought provoking discussion on how does one discover their calling in life. What if I went all through my life not knowing I was destined for something different. It could be as trivial as a change in career or something that […]
This evening a bunch of us gals from our community are planning on dinner outside. Not a big deal really but for me it is. Its been ages since I was part of any get-together. And after ages again, I will be meeting a lot of people I have never met before. Understandably I am […]

K and I drove with a friend to visit a colleague who was in the hospital after something he ate did not agree with him. While the details of what exactly is wrong with him are murky, seeing him pale and tired in the hospital bed drove home the point how much we take our […]
In all an eventful weekend with family at home. Its been a long time since all of us got together. It was fun to see the kids interact with each other. What amazed me is how much of the person’s personality is clearly evidenced even as a child. Both my nieces were as different as […]
For the past couple of days, this is all I can think of. The V’s are coming! V and V are my cousin and her daughter and they are visiting us for a week. After a longest time I will be having company at home that involves (hopefully) a lot of arratai sessions and general […]
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 […]
