The other day Kanna was complaining about something silly. I told him to stop complaining as he has many things to be grateful for. When he still continued to be whiny, I asked him to list three things that he was grateful for from that day. He told – 1. For the chocolate cake, he … More Here’s to you, gratitude!
Life is a funny business, isn’t it? So long as we are not faced with any obstacles, we fail to realize how truly blessed and happy we were. If till then all we could see was what was lacking in our lives, once it turns upside down, we tend to think how good it was … More This thing called Life!

There are only four, or five people … More Erasing from the past, would you? #FridayReflections
Yesterday Kanna started his first day of Year one at his new school. Unlike last year, he was a little nervous this time. He talked less, answered only when he was asked, made less eye contact, but he didn’t say that he was nervous or anything of that sort. Yes, he is growing up and … More And off he goes..
