My husband, my housekeeper, and my dog—the three people I live with—will attest that my mania for watching sports this year was Olympic-sized (no pun, etc.). In the 16 days that the games were on, one could hear frequent shouts of elation, anger and despair emerging from my house. All from me, of course. I […]
Today’s post is about some things that are close to my heart. The freedom to choose the way we want to live, our right to make choices that are not conventional, and the reason one person’s choices can be radically different from another person’s. Sounds a bit much? I know when you hear the word […]
If you’ve been following sports news lately, last Sunday you likely woke up to newspapers emblazoned with the headline – As Denmark’s midfield superstar Christian Eriksen collapses on the field, the football world stops breathing. In case you don’t already know about it, let me fill you in. During the ongoing UEFA EURO 2020 championship, […]
Today is my paternal grandfather’s death anniversary. Usually, I like to pay tributes on birthdays rather than on death anniversaries. But my mum shared a picture of him this morning which triggered a lot of memories, so I decided that today I would write about the ways in which I have been inspired by my […]
…. I turned 35. Yes, as the day changed from 15th to 16th a few days ago, I turned 35. As a child, I always thought that anyone who has spent over 30 years walking this planet must be old. I mean, the first time I had this thought, my parents were already in their […]
I realised today – à la the Starks – that winter is coming! There was a nip in the air in the morning, bathing with cold water felt like torture and it seemed as if the day ended as soon as it began (the sunset at 6.30 pm). Here it is – that time of […]
Last week I fell in love. Again. While randomly surfing on Amazon (yes I have enough time on my hands to do that), I chanced upon a gorgeous (very, very expensive!) skein of yarn which set my heart aflutter. My hand hovered over the ‘add to cart’ button and I was about to press it […]
It may have come to the notice of some of you – I hope – that I haven’t posted anything in a while. Actually, I had written a post based on some interesting anecdotes my mother had told me about my Nani (Maternal Grandmother). All that was needed was some editing and I could have […]
Yes, you’re right – today’s post is in honour of fathers, or at least in honour of my father. My father is a physician with a fairly good practice in Ghaziabad, a city not very far from Delhi. For those of you who know my father, you already know that he is not a man […]
Since my last post, the Gym Bag Syndrome, I have received a lot of congratulatory and encouraging messages. I have my parents to thank for it, who in a moment of great pride, couldn’t resist sharing something they thought everyone should read. Although, I’m more inclined to believe that it was out of a sense […]
A lawyer who loves to knit. A reader who loves to write. Pallavi likes to dabble in many things at the same time. She lives with her partner and dog in Delhi (India) - both of whom know better than to interrupt her while she is knitting or reading.
