A good head massage and a pedicure from the beautician was all that I needed to feel on top of the world. It made me feel that I could do it all - meet the work deadlines, deal with heart break, be unaffected by scorns … Continue reading Self pampered me

Festive ring

October 9, 2022October 9, 2022 · Leave a comment ·

Festive season does have a lovely ring to it – happy ring that breaks from the mundane, optimistic rhythm  of a new dawn, lingering melody of a world all decked up. There maybe nothing phenomenally different, yet everything looks unique. Or maybe it’s us looking … Continue reading Festive ring

It’s October, well almost. Happy month. The festive spirit has set in and the world is in a celebratory mood. Durga Pujo, Diwali and my birthday, of course, make this month so special. Though I have stayed out of Bengal for a while, and work … Continue reading Whispering to the Universe

Blooming Hibiscus

And finally, she blooms, my red hibiscus. Struggling with heat and then endless struggles with woolly aphids, nursing my hibiscus plants back to health and making them bloom. I bought three hibiscus plants at the beginning of summer – red, pink and orangish yellow, from … Continue reading Blooming Hibiscus

Load shedding

I never thought I would miss those days. The world plunged into darkness due to sudden power failure. Sitting under a lamp or candle on the study table and struggling to finish homework. Wiping off sweat and trying in vain to kill the buzzing and … Continue reading Load shedding

My life had so many nooks and corners once, so many places to hide comfortably for while – under the bed, behind the doors, in the false ceiling (that we would call kaar growing up). These spots came handy while playing hide and seek or … Continue reading Nooks and corners

Through the looking glass

August 19, 2022August 23, 2022 · 2 Comments ·

No, it’s not about Lewis Carroll’s acclaimed novel that I am talking about, I am pondering upon life in general. Though, if you read carefully, Alice losing herself in the wonderland is more than a fantastical children’s story. Through Alice, Carroll holds a mirror or … Continue reading Through the looking glass
