When the movie Jab We Met released in the year 2006, I was still in Law School. Much to my surprise, many people who watched the movie later came to me and said that Geet (Kareena Kapoor’s character in the film) reminded them of me. Surprise is too mild a word because, when I heard […]
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 – […]
We have entered the third month of 2021 with hope in our hearts that this year will be better than the last, that the struggles and despair of last year will get over and our lives will go back to their ordinary patterns again. But even as we try to move on, there are some […]

Your comments about your experiences and memories have encouraged me to share […]
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 […]
I have a feeling that my closest friends were very surprised when they found out about my sudden passion for knitting. Though to their credit, they have hidden their surprise quite well. The reason for their surprise is understandable, for anyone who has known me over the years, would know that I’ve had only one […]
Today I write asking you to welcome to this website one of my closest friends – Deeksha – who has very kindly agreed to do a guest blog. I met Dee (as I like to call her) when we were both in our teens and I have seen her grow into an extremely talented poet. […]
