The world we live in now is much different from the world that I grew up. Well not different technically but it has changed a lot. There are good … Continue reading Happy 9th Rahi – Always Stand Up for those who cannot

Family Movie Time on a Christmas Eve

Yesterday we all sat down to watch a Family movie together on Christmas eve. We had not done that for a very long time. We knew we all did not have the same movie tastes anymore but the fact that everyone had their computer and their own Netflix profile… our movie tastes do not usually collide or conflict with each others. So we decided to find one … Continue reading Family Movie Time on a Christmas Eve

For Me April 12th is the Siblings Day

For me April 12th (and not April 10th) is the siblings day because today was born my one and only sister… I always think sisters are so important because they can become a mother like even if they are younger… but brothers if they are younger can never become a father figure to you…. Last year I made a video… this year I shared it on … Continue reading For Me April 12th is the Siblings Day

What the rain tells me

Today it rained…. like every year… the first one this year…. as usual the summer had locked up a whole chest of memories, faces, events, images and tastes from the ever desiring past…. the fragrance in the air is now irresistible… the fragrance born when the rain blankets the earth and makes love throughout the night…. Every year every rain pours that intoxicating past on … Continue reading What the rain tells me

Neruda and our six year old

You need to free your mind to understand what others are trying to convey

The world we see is a perception of what we think the world is. Same goes with what people say and what we take the meaning as. Our life is always a hit and miss of what we perceive a person wished to convey through their words or actions. At times we are so sure about our perception and go forward with that until we … Continue reading You need to free your mind to understand what others are trying to convey

Every day is a new day; but is it a balanced day?

Every day is a new day and to know that we don’t need a lot of mathematical calculations. But what is different is that every new day comes with a new set of challenges and a different set of past day baggage. Unless of course your life is a string of well defined predictable moments collected to a 24 hours time frame. That does not … Continue reading Every day is a new day; but is it a balanced day?
