When Worries Worry
September 1, 2025
In the midst of
never-ending what-ifs and might-bes,
the journey is never easy—
weighed down by worries umpteen.

A lot is going on, isn’t it?
Around us.
In this world.
In our lives.
So much is going on. … More We Are Okay
Gratitude Everyday
July 23, 2025
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
Between Miles & Moments
June 28, 2025
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
What Lies Beyond #FictionMonday
January 20, 2025
Flipping through my gratitude journal is such a pleasant feeling. I notice many of the same lines appearing multiple times — the repetitions of my life and routines. And yet, I am grateful for those repetitions. They are answers to many of the questions hiding in the recesses of my mind. Perhaps that’s why I often find … More What Lies Beyond #FictionMonday
Things That Made Me Smile in November
December 2, 2024
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. With one kid in high school, the other one in elementary, a husband busy with his work traveling to the other end of the country every other week, and … More Things That Made Me Smile in November
October Tales #GratitudeMatters
October 31, 2024
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
Things That Made Me Smile Today
August 15, 2024
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
From Summer Slumber to Slipping Time #FictionMonday
July 22, 2024
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
Things That Made Me Smile This Month #MundaneMonday
April 30, 2024
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
