She stretched her arms and legs. It felt so effortless today. The air she breathed was pure and light- like it caressed her lungs in a way like never before. Her heart wasn’t beating slower or faster than it should be. As her foot touched the floor, she felt a connection between her and MotherContinue reading “Detached!”

COVID Blues
Hazy vision, stifled breathing, heart racing at 120 bps, constricted blood flow in my hands, overall choked up feeling- my day couldn’t have been better. Reading the title + the first line might have brought in a thought that I had that ‘virus’. Thank God, no! At least, not yet! Praying never! That is howContinue reading “COVID Blues”
The Art of Making Tea!
Tea- a beverage fabled as a drink mistakenly discovered by the Chinese and made ever-so fanciful by the British over its vast empire including India.

Quarantine Cooks
The kitchen was my least visited place in the house. Well, the kitchen sans the area of the fridge, was the least visited area in the house. My Facebook wall is usually is teeming with people posting their recent kitchen exploits. Every edible animal and plant was on the plate, shot wide and long withContinue reading “Quarantine Cooks”
Going Nuts over Coconuts!
TLDR: A long overdue post, delayed by my insipid routine. We are not normal people. We are crazy. We love being loud. We love the intense fervor in life. We love our country, our religions, our festivals and everything that is associated with being Indian. We love cricket, not only the gentlemanly game, but alsoContinue reading “Going Nuts over Coconuts!”
