In the lap of nature


 

I didn't know rain could be so fascinating. I think as I watch; sitting in a nice balcony, fat raindrops falling on the gurgling stream passing by. What a pretty sight. It’s usually a mess in a hectic city and life. Clogged roads. Creeping vehicles. Blaring honks. Getting late for the office. Terse glances of my boss. Damp clothes struggling to get dried in my small balcony.
But, here it is different. I am in the lap of nature. Silence. Bliss. Nature at it's best. Uns...

He Won't Eat! He Is The Busiest Person Of Your House



Recently, I got a call from my childhood friend (Our friendship is 23 years old).

"He doesn't eat, anything! What should I do? Does your son eat well?" She asked referring to her two-year-old.

"It's a phase. Don't worry, it will pass." I said.

It was funny as just few weeks ago I had called her whining about the same problem.

Toddlers are full of unlimited energy (I wonder where they get it from!). As our child grows up, we start bothering and comparing.

"When he is going to sit? Or when he is goi...

Book Review: Mistress of Honour by Bhaavna Arora

Bhaavna Arora' s debut novel "Deliberate Sinner" was a national bestseller. I heard a lot about it but couldn't read that. When I received a mail from Book Adorers regarding book review of Mistress of Honour, I thought to give it a shot.



Mistress of Honour (Penguin Books India) is different in it's own way. This book is basically about wars and the peacekeepers of our Nation (Interestingly, I am watching Border when I write this). The book is embellished with two love stories set in different e...

Rejections & Getting a Chance





OpportunityA ray, illuminating Your zest, you may shine

I have a friend. A very special friend. She says I am her best friend. How sweet! I feel touched when she praises wholeheartedly everything I cook. She is just 12 (And a half) years old! And she is very thoughtful.
The other day I was cooking and as usual she was chatting with me. We were talking about opportunity.

"Everyone should get a chance. It encourages." She said out of a sudden. I paused for a moment, surprised at her wisdom. H...

Book Review: It Happens For A Reason by Preeti Shenoy





I am very fond of Preeti Shenoy , one of the most popular writers of India. I look forward to her blogposts . Not just for her writing but for her extremely positive attitude towards life and her creativity. And, it reflects in her writing. She never fails to entertain.
I really...really liked her first novel Life is What You Make it and I loved “ The One You Cannot Have” ! With her latest book It Happens For a Reason which I finished reading recently, I had a different experience.
‘It Happens For...

For a clutter-free mind

 

Do you want anything middling in your life? NO will be your answer, I know. Everyone desires good or rather best. We can’t gainsay the fact that sometimes we do not have control on our lives and life becomes mishmash. But, is it wise to eternize that mishmash? There are certain aspects we can work on to make life easier with a clutter-free mind.
Declutter your home: Most of the times we tend to keep useless things. ‘It may turn useful someday’ is the general thought. Let your home breath...

Book Review: Mandate: Will of the People by Vir Sanghvi


[image error]

I picked this book due to my recently developed interest in Indian politics. Mandate: Will of the People by Vir Sanghvi is a political non-fiction (Published by Westland Books ). It is based on author's personal memories, and experience, and the interviews he had conducted.

The book deals with the history of Indian politics. It's like a journey carrying the striking revelations, covering the time-frame of 1971 to 2014.

It tries to answer few striking questions about Indian politics like: 'How di...
