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 […]
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. […]
Hello there! For those uninitiated in psych jargon, OCD expands to Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. People with OCD tend to have recurring, unwanted thoughts, ideas or sensations (obsessions) that make them feel driven to do something repetitively (compulsions). Before I say anything further, let me tell you that OCD is a disorder that needs to be taken […]
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 […]
As you all know, I took a day off from Project Cowl yesterday. I did some lawyering (yes I still do that!), some knitting and a whole lot of Medknitation. I know you think that I just made up that word – since I made up ‘yarn-o-holic’- however, there is such a thing in reality […]
I was all set with my blog today – Day 2 of Project Cowl – and I was about to publish it when very tragic news came through. Today, I can’t bring myself to write about anything else.
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.
