In the latest episode of Grey’s Anatomy, an unconscious Meredith describes how a newborn takes the first breath outside the womb. She describes it as the scariest step a human does. Breathing on its own for the very first time. Thinking about it, it made me accept the enormity of the task. That tiny little […]

The Million Crossroads and life #SoulfulSunday
Had I taken the other road,⠀Might I still be thinking today,⠀Had I taken the other road!⠀ -Vinitha This week I read the book The Midnight Library by Matt Haig. It was a fantastic read. I finished the book in four days. This book gave me some much-needed perspective. I started thinking about my other lives […]
My Empty Mind #SoulfulSunday
My mind is empty today. As in pin-drop silence. There are no musings hanging around. Not even a trace of thoughts from yesterday. It’s not the effect of meditation, I know that much. It’s as if every bit of thought decided to stay away from my line of sight because otherwise, I would write about […]

But I know they aren’t gone. Probably just shy. As I sit here to write down my immediate thoughts, I look around and see […]
Liberating My Thoughts & Soul #SoulfulSunday 3
This blog used to see a lot of parenting moments, mostly nuggets of wisdom my elder one shared, at the beginning of its life. Then gradually it changed to gratitude lists and random musings that wandered into my mind. I used to worry about not having a particular niche which stopped me from sharing my […]
A Rainy Day Musing #FridayReflections
It’s Friday morning and a rainy day. Just drizzling now, switching from gentle showers to light drizzles as it pleases. It’s wonderful to sit at the table looking out the windows and gaze at the grey sky. For some reason, I never thought of rains as teardrops of the sky. I love rain and rainy days. […]
