The longing for what’s not around

When I was dating my husband, I was juggling time between work, him and my family ( I was living with my sibling). Coming from a conservative Indian family, dating can't be smooth trust me. I always longed to see my boyfriend end of the day. Had tiny random spats at home with my family... Continue Reading →

Family: Forever

We are born as babies and as we lay confused and crying about this whole new out-of-the-womb set-up, our family makes us feel comfortable and inducts us into the earthly affairs. As we grow up, we form our point of views, we grow into different humans and we also tend to grow apart from our... Continue Reading →

The trigger word to blog- The Guardian I find it very amusing how Indian parents find relief in getting their daughters married to a "guardian".

How I became a writer and why it’s difficult

FYI, this one's more like a rant. I always wanted to be a journalist. Watching women on TV with mics in their hand with something happening on the background was a thrilling position to be for me.
