How the missing plane MH370 found its way in movies…just not in a good sense!
I don’t watch movies very often. And that’s only due to lack
of time. Whatever time I get that my toddler spares me, goes into reading and
writing. So, last week, I decided to watch a movie after I heard my husband
crackling loudly as he sat alone in front of the computer. I was curious. And I
wanted to watch a movie. So, I said, why not?

Why our recent Olympic feat isn’t just a giant leap for Indian women?
Ever
since news reports poured in, covering the achievements of three important
women – Sindhu, Sakshi and Dipa made the rounds on Facebook, many have referred
to the success as a turning point for Indian women. It’s no doubt that these
three women, by their indomitable spirit and courage have created history that
will be etched in our hearts forever.
What I
truly believe is this – women

Airlift : loss and regain of hope and life
Stories can stir hearts making the much needed difference. There
are stories everywhere. It’s up to us, which ones we do want to hear and which
ones we don’t. But then, there are some stories that somehow make their way
into our lives. One such story is Airlift, the movie.
I normally wouldn’t be writing a review if the movie hadn’t impressed
me. In fact, it had surpassed my expectations.

Survival stories,part 1 - Turia Pitt, what one woman has to teach the world...
When I first came across an article about Turia Pitt, I read it casually just as if I were reading any other news item on FaceBook. But as I read through her story, I began to wonder about the aspects of human mind which can be amazingly extraordinary. Life sucks big time, you and I will agree to that, because we have a number of problems to talk about ranging from the tiniest of issues. Yes,

Ivide, a new age thriller, seamlessly delivered.
When I first started watching ‘Ivide’, I found it coming out
from a novel or a Hollywood movie. What with the actors trying hard to adapt
the American slang with the movie shot entirely in Atlanta, US, I found it to
be just like any English movie except that they were replaced with Malayalam
actors. Throw in the usual mix, hero separated, has a daughter, shares custody
with the heroine,

My salted tea
Sometimes, being with a baby, can get overwhelming. Now that
I am a stay at home mommy, my only company is a baby who demands constant
entertainment most of the times. And this gives me little breathing space for
my own. Of course, after my husband comes, I can hand over the baby to him. But
that’s the only time I can get any cooking done.

Miracles
“Every day, God gives us the sun–and also one moment in which we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy.
“Every day, we try to pretend that we haven’t perceived that moment, that it doesn’t exist–that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow.
But if people really pay attention to their everyday lives, they will discover that magic moment.

How I fell in love - Again
It’s said that a person can fall in love more than once. But people who have loved deep and once, would say that true love happens only once. Having grown up in the fairytale world of love, I chose to believe that deepest love thrived only between man and wife. When I met my husband, I believed he was the only person I could love all my life. But God has his own ways of letting us fall in love,

James Cameron's DeepSea Challenge ( From Titanic to deep waters)
James Cameron's contagious passion from the end of the ocean.
Fear is such an integral part of our lives that we spend almost half our lives being scared about the next thing that's to happen in our lives. Then there are those people who look fear in the face and sail beyond and far. These people also face the same fears. Being scared is natural, which humans cannot live without. Yet, how we
