Getting future ready
What are you most excited about for the future? Mum was a vegetarian and we grew up on a healthy diet of vegetarian food. Dad introduced us to eating non-vegetarian by taking us to restaurants that prepared them. During those days, chicken tikka with toothpicks sticking out of them was all the rage. I remember…… Continue reading Getting future ready

What is your favorite genre of music? I don’t remember when Dad got the TV, but I have these vague memories of a group of kids sitting on the floor and watching the TV in my living room. We used to come in around 5.45 pm to watch the start of the 6 pm broadcast,…… Continue reading Tuned in

And much to my irritation, Dad had ample opportunities to repeat this proverb to me.…… Continue reading It was never ours.
Time out
How do you practice self-care? When the kid was born, I was over the moon. Excited was an understatement and exhausted was the highlight. But I coped. I had never interacted with any other kid in the family, so I had no idea what was required to be done. The paternity leave got over faster…… Continue reading Time out

How do you want to retire? I’m a WFH-SAHM, and I don’t know if I can retire. I wake up super early to ensure kids are set to leave from home to school on time, pack lunch, and keep shoes and bottles out so nothing is missed. Dust and make beds, prep breakfast, ensure there…… Continue reading A little more
