October was an interesting month. Like every other month, it was a mix of good and not-so-good. But unlike the rest, October came with flavors and fragrances that made it memorable in its own unique way. … More October Musings
It’s been so long since I published a gratitude post. I like it when a post starts with “It’s been so long since…” because it feels personal—like catching up with a dear friend. And when it’s personal, when you’re speaking to someone you trust, the curtains come off. The masks fall away. It frees the … More Gratitude Everyday
We got back from our three-and-a-half-week-long trip to India this Monday night. We’re still recovering from the jet lag, but it’s almost manageable now. My younger one is still waking up around 4:30–5 a.m., but I don’t think there’s a fix for that—he actually enjoys waking up early. Still, by 5 in the evening, we’re … More Between Miles & Moments
The sky is my constant companion. No matter where I am, no matter how I’m feeling, I find comfort in looking up. There are no mysteries to unravel or whispered messages from above, yet a quiet tranquility fills me each time I lift my gaze. It doesn’t matter if the sky is a brilliant blue … More Look Up and Embrace Peace
November started with the usual chaos and craziness, as in previous months. I began to wonder if the busy moments were ever going to calm down.

Making a list of things that happened in the month gone by felt like a humongous task. Now, with the 10th month of 2024 almost ready to bid … More October Tales #GratitudeMatters

Once again, I found myself unwell during the Thanksgiving festivities, and another long weekend slipped away as we remained stuck at home. It all began with a sore throat that eventually developed into a low-grade fever and fatigue at the start of last week. Both my younger one and I were at the mercy of … More Grateful for the little moments #SoulfulSunday
Last week was a good one for me. Nothing exciting or out of the ordinary happened. It was a boring, normal, good week. We all deserve such boring good weeks, don’t we? I have been trying to write my daily gratitudes every night, but sometimes I forget to journal. Then I realized, I haven’t completely … More Gratitude Lessons #WeeklyGratitude #SoulfulSunday
This morning my eldest left for Florida with his teachers and friends from school. It’s an educational trip filled with lots of fun activities. He was very excited about this trip. Naturally, I was nervous. But his excitement helped me relax. I have given him instructions on what to do, what not to do, etc. … More Days Of Our Lives #WeeklyGratitude #SoulfulSunday
