This is a post about gratitude. In the last few days, I have spoken to a few close friends about this at great length. The basic premise is that there is no horrible situation that you and I can be in that does not have a positive side. Or more simply, “It could have been… [Read more…]

“I am not as spiritual as you!” These are words I have heard most often in the last few years. A lot of us are unhappy in our situations. A lot us would like our lives to change a little bit. We put in all our effort to make something happen and then it just… [Read more…]

This post was featured on “Freshly Pressed” on wordpress.com‘s main website on Nov 15th/16th 2010. It’s my last year as a 20-something. No, I’m not dreading the 30s.

I saw my friend, Anju’s post about how she has been branded as a “weirdo” as she is going to Tanzania for 6 months, as a volunteer to work with women and children affected with HIV. She has also listed things which are considered “normal” and of course she doesn’t fit into them. Here’s my… [Read more…]

The theme is not original, I agree. But it just flowed out as I was reading someone else’s blog. I need to find my own answers to the questions I don’t even know I may have. Mine come to me when I write.

Jealousy is a natural emotion. Yet we’re told that feeling jealous is not nice, which adds to our misery. Because when we feel jealous, not only are we feeling left out, we’re also feeling guilty, dirty, bad, un-nice, selfish, etc. I have to say that I feel jealous all the time. Everyday in fact. I… [Read more…]

Every once in a while, we all go into the “Why is this happening to me” mode. And self pity or anger at the situation never helped anyone. Yesterday while working on the life skills programme that I am currently associated with at Aparajitha Foundations, a line came forth a couple of time – “Focus… [Read more…]

The blues may be here to stay, and it may seem like there’s no way, but here’s something you can try to do, to make you NOT feel blue. Sometimes when we are down, it’s hard to pray, meditate or even share our feelings with someone else. We feel a disconnect with life around us.… [Read more…]

This post might come across as boring and cliche! A lot of women bloggers have written this post in recent times (or I have noticed it only now because I identify with them NOW) and I have decided to join the bandwagon. Not because I have to fit in. But simply because I understand now… [Read more…]

Most people know me as a naughty, chirpy, loud, friendly, gregarious person. My close friends often see the sad, seeking, depressed and irritable side of me. In my head, I have always felt constrained. I feel that I can do so much, but somehow don’t seem to get the opportunities. Last few months, I began… [Read more…]

I experienced this, but in a good way today. I have been down lately. Very down. Life seems to be turning the wrong way and I feel helpless. Luckily, I have been writing which brings me some joy. N pinged me to tell me that he read my new blog. I met N through Roberto.… [Read more…]

I was browsing through the FICTION section at Landmark this evening, when suddenly just right down the aisle, I saw her glancing through the myriad genres. For a minute, I froze.

A question intrigues me, why is it that we think a soul mate has to be of the opposite sex? Or that there is just one single soul mate? Or that soul mate has to be romantically involved with us? I met Chani when I was about 12 years old. She was one year my… [Read more…]
