Madhuram and Shy both had linked back to the murder-suicide in LA by an Indian American man. I resisted writing about it because I was still processing it in my mind. On the afternoon of Oct 6th, Sepia Mutiny wrote about this tragedy. For someone who reads most of the posts on there, I skipped […]
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 […]
I must have badgered K before we left to work. I tried different shirts on before I found one that I felt comfortable in and one that could pass off as business casuals. One of the downsides of working for a company that advocates casual dressing for its employees is that I have no clue […]
I logged in to chat with my mom early this morning like I sometimes do and she said “Bangalore rocked by bomb blasts.” My first reaction was to blank out. The IISc blasts are still fresh in memory considering K is an IISc alumnus and it affected him deeply. Channeling my energies into finding out […]

Thank you Madhuram!! It sure has made my day!!!
I would like to pass it in turn to all my friends here in the blogosphere and commenters and […]
Back at my desk after the regular status meeting our team has each week, my eyes fell on an innocuous looking email titled “Monday”. I opened it to find my friend saying that Monday would be his last day with our team. I was shocked in some sense because it was too sudden. There was […]
I reached home yesterday to hear my answering machine beeping. It is rare these days to have voice messages waiting when I get home. The only ones I do usually get are appointment reminders and such. Refreshed and phone in hand I listened. It was from some one I have not met but was told […]
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 […]
Getting off the phone after a long conversation with a good friend, I was left wondering about a lot of things. We were discussing a lot of what is happening in the blogosphere with respect to women’s periods and like topics. As we dissected why moms and in laws act like guardians and keepers of […]
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.
*Growing up, I was expected as the eldest daughter […]
