Yours Sincerely

Here are my reasons, not in any particular order: 1. It is a great way to de-stress and helps revive my energy. It's particularly pleasant to do this amidst hectic work schedule. 2.

This article ( link ) gives a brilliant alternative for our kids, which have to be told to our children and youngsters, to give them sense of what actually is ideal. Please go through (it's a three minute read): If you are a woman, you would be g

This is going to be a really long post, and I don't want to hold myself back from penning down anything here. Hope you enjoy reading!! Please do share your wishlist too :) 1) I wish to update this blog regularly. Life has become so busy that it is difficult to get breathing time from the continuous cycle of chores which we do, related to work, to social gatherings, to chores, etc. etc. I really love to blog because it gives me a perfect outlet to express myself.  When I started this blog, I kept a target of posting alteast twice a month to keep this going. One glance at my blog makes it amply clear to everyone that I've never been faithful to this resolution :) There has been a really long gap after I joined my new job in Mumbai. Hope I will be more regular now. 2) Somehow, I feel that writing is 'my thing' - and I wish to write a book or two. Perhaps, I connect to language better than any other form of expression. Even when I listen to music, usually, I attach
