Maidless India #Corona #Lockdown

May 5, 202029 Comments

Last week, I wrote a post on 5 Things to be Grateful for during Lockdown where I mentioned how my husband is mopping and cooking. It seems my husband is not alone. Finally, Indian men have left their mom's apron/pallu/dupatta and risen to the occasion to do household chores. Thanks to maids being absent. In … Continue reading Maidless India #Corona #Lockdown

The Facade of a ‘Nice Guy’#MondayMusings

September 2, 201920 Comments

Let’s talk about boys today... I know I am a middle-aged Aunty and shouldn’t be talking about boys, but the other day few of us friends gathered for coffee and after our usual discussion of homework of kids, irritating habits of spouses, latest antics of moms-in-law, illogical bosses, latest shopping mall discounts, grocery prices etc … Continue reading The Facade of a ‘Nice Guy’#MondayMusings

The Misogyny in Arjun Reddy/Kabir Singh is not Exceptional #MondayMusing

July 8, 201916 Comments

A lot of debate is going on around the movies Kabir Singh/Arjun Reddy. I have not watched Kabir Singh but I did watch the original Telugu Arjun Reddy. I watched it simply because I like Vijay Deverakonda, the actor who played Arjun Reddy in the Telegu version. I agree the movie is misogynist and sexist, … Continue reading The Misogyny in Arjun Reddy/Kabir Singh is not Exceptional #MondayMusing

Feminism Vs Misandry #writebravely #celebratewritetribe

"A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men."– Gloria Steinem 'Feminist' has almost become a cuss word these days. People are scared to be called a feminist. Whereas, we belong to the generation where we used to look up to Feminist writers like Simone de Beauvoir, Alice Walker, … Continue reading Feminism Vs Misandry #writebravely #celebratewritetribe

How Bollywood Ruined Us

August 13, 2018August 13, 201839 Comments

The other day I sat down to watch ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’. After precisely five minutes into the movie, I realized the movie is simply unwatchable. It appeared gross, grotesque and as Bongs would put ‘churanto nyaka’. However, ironically this is the same movie that ignited passion and romance in me 28 years back when I … Continue reading How Bollywood Ruined Us

There is Nothing ‘Romantic’ about Marriage #MondayMusings

July 23, 2018July 23, 201855 Comments

The day I went to give my wedding invitation, my then boss (a lady in her mid-fifties) commented sarcastically “So, now you will have two jobs.” Back then I was a naive young girl of 26 years, obviously, I didn’t understand the drift and even found her comment quite cynical. The old bit** that she … Continue reading There is Nothing ‘Romantic’ about Marriage #MondayMusings

Women’s Day, Bored Wife and English Vinglish #MondayMusings

Last week was Women’s Day. A friend of mine called early in the morning and said excitedly “Hey, Happy Women’s Day. Let’s catch up for lunch and then go for a hair spa. Everywhere they have given a discount for Women’s day.” I have done my M.Phil in Women’s Studies and I was dying to … Continue reading Women’s Day, Bored Wife and English Vinglish #MondayMusings

Is Crying an act of Weakness?

January 15, 2018January 11, 201819 Comments

I was going through a bad bout of depression. A friend called and I started literally howling on the phone like a school girl.  She said “I never expected this from you. I always thought you were a strong girl and look at the way you are crying.” The day my Dad passed away, a … Continue reading Is Crying an act of Weakness?

Stop Stereotyping Women

December 18, 2017January 4, 201822 Comments

Q. What is the first thing I do after waking up in the morning? A. I check my Whatsapp. (I check my Whatsapp not because I have been expecting an urgent message from Narendra Modi, I check it because it is my Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Checking smartphone throughout the day is symptomatic of my progressive … Continue reading Stop Stereotyping Women

Took me 1.5 months to finish this book. I would recommend this book to whoever wants to find some peace and joyfulness in life. Two of the most spiritual and humanitarian holy leader share their insights on how we can find joy in the mundane. How we can get rid of anger and learn to forgive. If you want to heal your soul read this book for some calmness.
Ever since the pandemic hit, we had stopped going out for #girlsnightout. However, now that one of our friends is shifting, we decided to go out. It was midweek, yet Wednesday felt like Friday.
Happiness is in simple things. Sometimes, just a simple cup of tea, early in the morning is enough to make your day.
