  • That voice is not our heart or our soul, it’s that friend who is with us through our thick and thin.

  • The last leaf

    A short story by O’Henry. This was also a part of our English curriculum. My memories as a student have always been vague as I was never interested in studies. Surprisingly, there are a couple of stories from the English textbooks that I can recall. I would rather say, I don’t just recall but also…

  • An Instrument of Peace

    At 8.00 a.m. in the morning, we had to be ready for the assembly that started with prayers followed by announcements, news and prayer requests. I remember being dropped by our school bus half an hour early to the school time that allowed us to take copies from our friends to finish our homework before…

  • 140 and counting

    Thankful to my 140+ fellow bloggers who have shown their interest in my content by following my page. I’m not yet quite there where I wish to be, but I am sure these baby steps will eventually bring out the best in me. I am an active learner, thus I have something to always take…

  • A billion dollar smile! 

    While leaving,  I gave her a hug.  She stopped and asked,  “Before you leave,  tell me what is your name?” 

  • Say cheese

    Well that serious look is not ready to say cheese 🙂

  • You are lucky for me

    “Hey, listen” came a voice from the front as I was walking towards my office. I looked up and found a woman in her middle age carrying a basket full of fruits. Assuming she was calling someone walking behind me, I ignored the call and moved forward.  “Hey, listen – I am talking to you.”…

  • Une conversation

    For those who have already viewed my post “A conversation“, I have tried to come up with the French version of the same. Being a beginner in French, I am trying to put this more into practice so I don’t forget what I learnt. But I’ll be honest, I had to take help from Google…

  • Can be as simple as this one if we take a pause and enjoy those precious moments.

  • Keep me away from this noise.. 
  • An unavoidable phone call

    Mom: Net isn’t working? Whom do you think you are trying to fool. I can see you post daily on Facebook.. Commenting on the pages of political parties.. But, why are you following these pages.. Why don’t you keep yourself away from all this? I want you to focus on your studies.

  • Listen only mode

    Thus, it’s important that we keep ourselves in the “listen only mode” in order to observe the beauty of people who are a part of our lives and not overlook any cues that are unintentionally given to us expressing their love and care.

  • Here’s a recap!

    Few major developments in both my personal and professional life has been keeping me away from the little bit of writing that I used to do. Apart from this, I recently joined an NGO. To be a part of an NGO was always a dream which has now started becoming a reality. My schedules including…

  • My new workstation!

    I moved to a new workstation this week. And the best thing about it was to get additional space to hang these beautiful souvenirs that I bought from my trips earlier this year. The first one is a Lohe Qurani from Hazrat Nizamuddin Dargah, Delhi and the other is a Kathputhli (string puppet) from Udaipur, Rajasthan. I…

  • I don’t know who they are. I never met them thereafter, but this picture still gives me joy and inspires me to take life easy and to be in the moment.

  • Travel encounter continues

    Originally posted on A Blossoming Spirit: She entered the classy room of the Hotel which was her home for the next three weeks. She studied every corner of it to check out the things that were available. As usual, there was a TV, a coffee maker, an office space and hold on what was that?…
