• My Pandemic Mantra Blog No 10: May 19, 2022
  Last two years have gone by in a blip. But let’s not kid ourselves, they were really long years. Nobody could’ve predicted or understood the gravity of what was going to happen or had any semblance of what we were going to undergo.  Hindsight always gives nuggets of wisdom and makes it feel easier. But
• Confessions of a Yoga Lover Blog No 9: May 5, 2022
  Yoga knocked my door several times. The first time, in 2014, when I hardly looked at it. I met a yogini through mutual friends in Gurgaon. I took a few trial sessions just for the sake of it. I barely lasted eight classes, as I didn’t feel any connection with yoga. I am the kind
• Wading through Racism Blog No 8: April 21, 2022
  Circa 2002/03. Still new to London, I had begun freelancing in a few places — Deccan Chronicle newspaper, a few UK magazines, and websites. My excitement was brimming full throttle. Seeing my byline meant a lot to me. So here I was so happy when I got the assistant editor’s role in FOCUS, an expatriate
• Evolution of My Style Blog No 7: April 11, 2022
  Life happens unexpectedly. Over the years, my core values have remained more or less unchanged yet I’ve evolved as a human, a woman, a mom, and as a wife. With that, my fashion sense has taken unexpected twists and turns.  As a preteen, living in Mayur Vihar, I was this little Tamil girl with plaits
• POV of a Feminist Blog No 6: March 31, 2022
  To be honest, feminism is for everyone. It isn’t just meant for women, as is often believed. I am a feminist not only because I am a woman who believes in liberation from sexist gender roles but also because I really want each one of us to be equally represented in an unbiased manner. While
• My Embarrassing Childhood Tales Blog No 5: Monday, March 21, 2022
  Those schoolgirl days… as Singer/ Actress Lulu sings clearly in the movie, To Sir with Love, I can see why our childhood will have a significant impact in our later lives. Going back to my childhood, I have very fond memories with my parents and my brother, Ravi, and funnily enough, many embarrassing moments too.
• Am I Beautiful? Blog No 4: Thursday, March 10, 2022
  Outer Beauty attracts but inner beauty captivates, as the adage goes. How many of us are able to see the inner beauty or worthiness of a person at all ? And, is it that clear cut? In my experience, outer beauty is what many people fixate on. I was just about 22 and very confident
• The Irony of My Name Blog No 3: Monday, February 28, 2022
  As far as I can remember, I never liked singing and had some sort of bias against it. I think this stemmed from my childhood experiences. I remember feeling awful hearing someone sing in front of me, even worse if someone asked me to sing ! Coming to what’s in a name, I’d say everything
• A New Londoner
  Blog No 2: Thursday, February 17, 2022 I started the column ‘Through My Lens’ in an expatriate magazine, called London LINC, in 2001, when we moved to London. As a new wife, and first time overseas traveller, I think I had a unique perspective to offer when I was asked to write this monthly column.
• More than a Housewife Blog No 1 : Sunday, February 6, 2022
  This moment means a great deal. The moment where I’ve felt free enough to express myself again. Again, this pandemic has given us a lot of free time to reflect, mull over things we haven’t had the will or opportunity to think things through. I just hope each one of you who reads my blog
