Dear Reader, Don’t think I have forgotten you. I haven’t. I have just been busy for the last two weeks travelling to a very dear friend’s wedding. I am so happy that she is happy that I travelled the breadth of India—Lucknow to Mysore—to be a part of her marriage celebrations. Right now, you probably […]
At a fairly young age – maybe 15 – I realised I did not want to be a parent. I knew then that motherhood was not for me, although I started vocalising that thought to other people much later. Before you bemoan my fate, let me tell you there is nothing wrong with me – […]
Today is my paternal grandfather’s death anniversary. Usually, I like to pay tributes on birthdays rather than on death anniversaries.

Right at the beginning – when I had launched this website – I had written a post on why everyone ought to start knitting. In that post, I had listed out all the advantages of knitting and had vehemently argued that knitting was not only about wool or woollen clothes. I had stated quite categorically […]
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 […]
First and foremost, I must thank you all for your overwhelming response to my last post – Grandma’s wisdom. For any writer, especially a novice like me, the highest praise possible is for their writing to resonate with the person reading their work. Your comments about your experiences and memories have encouraged me to share […]
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.
