I can’t believe I haven’t written a monthly gratitude or review post this year. The urge was there, but the days were taken over by countless tasks. 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
The last four weeks have not been easy for me. It all started with my account getting hacked, which caused a lot of stress that week. Then we got busy with our kids as they returned to school after the summer break. There were “Meet the Teacher” appointments, Curriculum Nights, High School Freshmen Orientation, and … More Things That Made Me Smile Today
My alarm went off at 5:15 this morning. I got out of bed after 5:30 somewhat reluctantly—not because I wanted to sleep more, but because tomorrow school begins after the summer holidays and I’ll have no choice but to get up when the alarm goes off. That thought discouraged me. It’s always these unwelcome, undeserving … More From Summer Slumber to Slipping Time #FictionMonday
The last day of April warrants a post about the things that made me happy this month, doesn’t it? April was kind to me in general. I was feeling a bit low at the beginning of the month. It was my dad’s 13th death anniversary on April 3rd, and I felt his absence terribly heavy. … More Things That Made Me Smile This Month #MundaneMonday

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
When I write a poem or a personal piece, my biggest concern is whether I am repeating myself. Will it become boring to the reader because I keep circling the same themes? This thought can be damaging because the answer I often come up with is yes; I am repeating myself, and the reader will … More Overcoming Creative Insecurities #SoulfulSunday
Kids are back in school after the summer break, even though summer is still going strong here in Arizona. With the kids back in school, my day starts with the busyness of getting things ready for school, dropping them off at their respective schools, and later picking them up, and on and on. I’m not … More A Week to Relish #SoulfulSunday
It’s been a while since we caught up on current affairs, hasn’t it? I am writing this while on a vacation in India. Unfortunately, our trip to India, though we call it a vacation trip, had never been anything remotely close to a vacation. Our stay in India even if it’s for a short duration … More Vacation Tales!
