GOOD MEMORIES
  It was a beautiful day today. I was going to work in the staff bus. The cool breeze which I felt on my face brought back good memories of the past few years. I thanked God for the “good memories” – which have prevented me from becoming a complete cynic.It was a similar day. We had been married for three months. Both, my husband and I decided, tha... more...

People care!
Blogging is helping me in a manner I could never imagine. Its a strange world which I am yet to explore completely. But there is a wonderful warmth of human emotions which in itself seems to have some healing powers. Frankly speaking I am amazed that people who are strangers care. Maybe the world was always like this but I had stopped connecting wi... more...

A DIFFICULT END
  I have never blogged before.  But I am trying to experiment at this point in life.  After all I have nothing to lose.   The fact is that I have already lost a lot.  My life, my identity…….I feel completely out of sorts. There is nothing to look forward to.  Why am I alive is a question I keep asking myself? Why did God create me? What is the purp... more...

Happiness is a choice
Are we all messed up inside? The older I get the more convinced I am that there is nothing termed as a "normal" person. "Normal" should be deleted from all languages. Normal is such a vague term, I grew up thinking that the journey of life would be just so, but I found out that the road was so convoluted and there were so many exits, so many crazy ...  more...

‘Eating the Earth’!
 Eating meat, dairy and eggs threatens our planet.You use much less land and water if you eat crops directly. Animals use most of the protein they eat to live, not 'grow' meat. So eating meat adds to water shortages, forest clearing, soil damage, use of oil-based pesticides - and climate change. "By 2050 the world's livestock will be consuming as m...  more...

some words said n some unsaid
Did not I keep calm and quiet for long, The silence was there for all to see, But let nobody get me wrong, I was wondering if  that's the way to be.   The months of holding back words.
