  • #100HappyDays – Day 12

      I decided to participate in the  #100HappyDays Challenge and share the picture story on my blog too. And so here I am with happy stories to show. Come, have a dekho! My personal hashtag is #BlogwatiGSmiles. Yeah, it’s all about ME!Ok, statutory warning. Cuteness overload. Well, it’s been a nippy Saturday morn by Mumbai standards. The household…

  • Uniting States of India

    It was the husband’s birthday, and he’d just returned that morning from the land down under. Also, NaMo had decided to address the chaiwallahs that same afternoon in the heart of the city. And we were expected to be down south for this Indiblogger meet. The chances were not looking that bright, yet I was…

  • Happy ‘Knew’ Year!

    31st December was chalked out for partying. 1st January was solemnly meant for the hangover………….. 2nd January was reserved for the birthday 🙂 3rd January is when I take stock! Yes, by the fag end of the day I am in somewhat a stable state to chalk out what I intend doing with 2014. Am…

  • Games we played

    This Post joins the ranks of Spicy Saturday Picks by BlogAdda. When the daughter walked in from school a few days ago, I could sense her excitement right from the door. She had been initiated into a new game at school and was eager to introduce me to it, as well. As she enthusiastically explained…

  • Three Girls and a Wedding

    Have you ever attended a wedding? Wait, let me rephrase that. Have you ever attended a wedding where you were not related to either the bride or the groom? Ah, well, I just did along with two of my gal pals. No, we did not gate crash, silly. The groom’s sister is an inseparable part…

  • The Grass Is Greener

    After wandering around for many Wednesdays at a stretch, I am back for good (I hope). The break was a welcome one, and long overdue. And lots of tales along the way. Hopefully I can pull out some of those stories and pen them here. For now, welcome back. Check my earlier Wandering Wednesday Series…

  • Going Bankerupt

    Persistence pays, especially in the present times of social media. Everything and everybody, pretty much accessible. And so it was when an unsuspecting author randomly tweeted that he would like to have a blogger meet, someday. A follower, who was also a blogger, immediately gave a high five to the idea and said she looked…

  • What if God was One of Us?

    My Wandering Wednesday Series. Check the previous posts here. 10 days have passed since we have welcomed our most favoured guest. Today we bid HIM  a ‘large’ goodbye. Revelry is at its loudest. The streets are lined with strewn flowers, broken bottles and splashed colours. In our enthusiasm, we have little or no respect for the guidelines that govern…

  • The Sounds of Silence

    My Wandering Wednesday Series. Check the previous posts here. 11th September. It seems to be the day that turns the world around. 2001 saw four co-ordinated terrorist attacks on the WTC- USA. 2013, India, the world awaits the sentence for the four accused in the Nirbhaya Rape Case. There is anger, frustration, despair and hopelessness looming large. Not…

  • Yesterday, Once More…

    The rains had finally given into the parched earth. Unabashed, purposefully, they fell from the heavens.  A sweet scent from the wet mud filled the air, as the raindrops arranged themselves in a sonata. The neighbourhood was slowly awakening from the muted slumber to a green song. This Sunday morning in early June, so far,…
