Morning as soon as Pranav wakes up, S measures his face with his palm and pretends to be surprised by how he has grown up. Then he proceeds to measure my face with his palm and tells Pranav that Mama’s face has grown taller. Face grown taller! I ran to the mirror to ensure thatContinueContinue reading “A typical conversation”

And the year went by
And what a year 2009 was! From fighting post-partum blues to falling in love with my little one, it was a year that brought me in touch with my darkest emotions/fears and my strength.

No person can complete you
It is time to remind myself about something I told my friend some months ago. Sometimes we make ourselves believe that we need more to feel complete or to feel happy. People, objects, emotions- it could be anything. But that’s not so. The reality of my life or anyone’s is that what ever you need,ContinueContinue reading “No person can complete you”
Looking at light
Sunsets are beautiful moments; for light as well as darkness. Look inside, see the darkness. Then take a deep breath and look deeper till you see light.
