Not afraid to be ordinary
I have to admit right at the outset that ever since I was a kid I disliked anything which was ‘normal’, ‘regular’, ‘conventional’. I would often ask why rituals are done a certain way or why do I have to follow social rules which my brother didn’t have to follow. And you know what the … Continue reading Not afraid to be ordinary
Creative birthing..Are you in labor yet?
Exploring the 'creative' process using the lens of child birth and pregnancy.
Spiritual & Worldly..The Dichotomy.
My tryst with spiritual contemplation and exploration began with the questions: Why do I exist? Why am I here? Most of us have struggled with these existential questions at some point of time in our lives. Some of us chose to ignore it and agreed to bury it deep down inside forever. One way or … Continue reading Spiritual & Worldly..The Dichotomy.

She and I were first roommates and then turned into friends sharing the same wavelength on philosophy, humor etc. Life took us to different cities and we both became occupied with our lives.

The Changing room
Past few weeks things have been changing around me. It is probably more appropriate to say that these changes are big enough for me to notice them. I feel like I am inside a changing room trying on new clothes and find out what I like:) Old is making way for the new. I think … Continue reading The Changing room
‘I’ ness to ‘We’ ness
‘We’ ness i.e. Inter-dependence is a stage where I believe I am today and I still am a work in progress. For most of my 20’s I have been independent in terms of earning money and making life choices based on what I deemed was right for me. Although it sounds great I believe while … Continue reading ‘I’ ness to ‘We’ ness
