Doing Nothing!
We were visiting Australia in 2008. My daughter Aamya was three years old. Our days were packed with sightseeing & fun activities. We were in Gold Coast & had bought tickets to Universal Park. My husband, Sumit and I were very excited. Aamya didn’t share our excitement though. As we entered, we started planning our…
Fading Moon
Today early morning when the sun was rising, full moon was still there in the sky . Saw the moon fade away as sun became stronger. The sun & moon have such a beautiful understanding, they can barely coexist in the sky yet there is no conflict. One gives way to the other, day after…

“Janmashtami is the festival commemorating the appearance of Krishna in this world. He appeared 5,000 years ago in a prison cell in Mathura.

Not all rivers flow into the sea…some go back and forth!
This river that flows past my house empties into the Kallang Basin just a few hundred meters away.

I was heating the paav for dinner and put a block of butter to make it soft. It was a big chunky block, extra love for my daughter. The butter melted into this Heart! My ever present self grabbed the phone and clicked this image to save this heart melting moment ! They say love…
Chasing Rainbows
By now you would know that I love rainbows. The News is that my friends all over the world are chasing them. If any of my friends spots a rainbow, they send me a pic immediately. For instance a dear friend in Colombo sent me a pic today morning and another friend from Dubai a…
Obstacle path
Today morning I was caught in a dream. My husband and I were with my parents and my sister and brother in law. We were attending a wedding, not sure whose wedding though. It was good to see them, we had a great time. I missed seeing my brother who didn’t appear in this dream…
