It would be an understatement to say that I miss my ‘me-time’. I have always, always enjoyed my ‘me-time’, even before I had a husband and two kids. It’s not that I think that I need me-time. I know that I need some time all to myself every day to reflect and refresh. It is […]

Goodbye September! #writebravely #WriteTribeProBlogger
Though August was the month of changes and new routines, September was the month which left me with nothing but exhaustion. Right when I was feeling grateful for being able to get along with all the hectic demands of life without much trouble, I became started to feel more and more exhausted, not just physically, […]
My happy place #MondayMusings
For some, the sea is the soothing place to be. For some, it is the rain or the river. For me, it is the sky that calms me down. It always had been. My happy place I would call it. Doesn’t matter the state of my mind. When I stand on the terrace looking at the sky, […]
A Blogging Challenge and the lessons learned
Last week I participated in the Festival Of Words hosted by Write Tribe. It was a week long blogging challenge where we blogged daily on the given prompts for each day. I signed up my other blog, Void Thoughts, and to my surprise, I pushed my limits and completed the challenge. There was so much […]
A Handwritten Poem #FridayReflections
I love writing on paper with the pen. I love the time and effort I have to put in order to achieve that simple task of writing. Writing down with a pen rather than typing is a challenge, otherwise why typing has become everyone’s favorite pick over writing with a pen? Free writing is even […]
It wasn’t funny for me!
This happened last year, 2016 May. Though I wrote it, I couldn’t post this at that time because I was deeply affected. I was 5 months pregnant at that time. One year later, I still feel the same. I’m not a Mother’s day person. I don’t wait eagerly for the arrival of this particular […]
Let it out! #MondayMusings
Yesterday I watched the Hindi movie, Dear Zindagi. I liked it. There was a scene when the actress cried profusely while talking to her therapist about a traumatic incident from her childhood. The doctor encourages her to cry saying that, “if you won’t cry wholeheartedly how can you laugh wholeheartedly. It made perfect sense to me. […]
A Question for You #MondayMusings
I have a question for you all. What kind of posts do you enjoy reading here? My personal rants? Stories about Kanna (perhaps the little one’s too in the future)? Gratitude posts? My philosophical posts heavy on the wisdom I hide in my head? Stories on my motherhood experiences? What makes you read me? Do […]
I’m Grateful..
It’s been so long since I wrote a gratitude post. My daily gratitude journal has only a few entries since 2017 began. Somewhere along the way, I lost track of everything. Obviously, I am way more busy than ever. I am not getting enough time to spend on doing stuff I love which includes blogging, […]
A messy affair! #MondayMusings #MicroblogMondays
I guess by now you are used to my frequent absences on this blog. Well, I am. Last five weeks I had the utmost delight to indulge in a date with a recent acquaintance of mine. I fondly call him by his full name, Pain in the Neck. Oh, what an eventful row of weeks had […]
