I have a good relationship with sleep. There is no bad blood between us. I love to sleep and stay asleep without any trouble, leading me to believe that sleep loves me too. A perfect relationship, don’t you think? But I am a light sleeper. Falling asleep is a delicate process. I need those few … More Caught between Snores and Sleep
At this moment, I am feeling lazy. Actually, I feel more tired than lazy. It’s 2:30 in the afternoon, and my eyes are tired. Mind, too. I haven’t written anything in more than a week. Although I have a valid reason for not writing, I feel like I am making excuses. We went on a … More Writing Through Uncertainty #FictionMonday

What makes me a writer? I started writing when I was in the 6th grade. I wrote one 6 liner verse and 4-5 2 liners and showed it to my parents. I remember writing them, the hesitation and the desire to show them, the sort of disbelief on my parents’ face, the feeling of content … More My Journey of Self Discovery #SoulfulSunday
Last week we went on a trip to see the fall colors. The trip was fabulous. We Phoenicians are deprived of fall colors and winter wonderland experiences if not for our cooler cities on the north side. The trip to Flagstaff is laced with vistas of gorgeous mountains all around us. This being the first … More A Wonderful Outing and Some Reflections #SoulfulSunday
I like my days calm and clutter-free. Not filled with so many appointments. But the week that went by, was busier than the one I imagined what busy meant. The weekend came as a relief. However, it had its share of things to do. Akku’s birthday was yesterday. Thankfully, we didn’t plan for anything major. … More Plans for the Week #SoulfulSunday
