Harmonious Notes
Honestly, today’s topic had me flummoxed. The topic does not ask you to write about the three songs that you like most, what it does instead, is ask you the 3 most important songs of your life and their meaning. How do you decide which song is important and which is not. Let me try.…

Retiring Gently, Not Abruptly
How do you want to retire? I don’t want to retire when I’m tired. I want to retire when I’m ready. Full, not finished. I think about retirement sometimes. Not in spreadsheets or pension plans—but in colours and feelings. I don’t want to retire because a calendar says so. Or because the world has decided…

Acceptance – Part 2
After spending so many years with her Aniruddh still was not able to understand this woman. She had issues. He was a pragmatic man. Working hard for his family, loved his kids, took care of his home. His wife was just his wife. He didn’t have any special feelings for her but he did care…

Perceptions
I love surprises. small ones, big ones. they just make my day. When I was younger I used create these surprises for myself. I would never ask my mother what she had packed for lunch in school. the moment when I opened my lunch box was my own, filled with anticipation and excitement. My own…

Austen and me
I am a self proclaimed Jane Austen lover. I got hooked to the seemingly idealist romances written by Austen at a very young age, thanks to my mother, herself an avid reader. I would like to believe that I am an Austen purist. I have devoured hundreds of literature discussing the nuances of her writing.…
