Women's Day Reflections

This Women’s Day was special for me as I was part of launching a new Women’s network in my organization. I felt honored as I stood there speaking to a 100+ men and women about my journey and how I feel the new initiative will help a lot of women in the organization to thrive! I could relive the moments were I could lean into some of my mentors in the past and how I could learn from many women…

As we choose to forget....

I saw a boy standing in front of a collapsed building today…In Gaza! A sight now, so normal to our eyes, as we browse through the channels. There was a hope in his voice, a belief that the world is listening to him! There was a hope in his eyes, that we see his pain and that of his loved ones! Did we forget him already?

Peace with in

Have you ever wanted to take a break, going far away for a few days, find peace, refresh, and come back? A lot many times I have longed for just getting out of all the daily huddles, going to a dreamy beach front, relax and then come back re-energized. But getting away for a few days, does it magically solve all the madness around? The weekend getaway to Cubbon Park in Bengaluru this Saturday…

Power of Sisterhood

I happened to read a very beautiful article this Sunday about sisterhood. As I get older, I’m realizing that sometimes I enjoy the company of my ‘girl’friends much more than ever before. Couple of weeks back I had a morning walk in Cubbon Park with two of my girl buddies followed by breakfast in an an old open air hotel. We talked endlessly, gossiped freely and had an awesome time. Though I have…

What my son taught me!

Guten Morgan! It’s amazing how learning a new language can motivate you. It was my son who threw this challenge at me by telling to pick up German. As I moved to my new German head quartered organization and started travelling frequently, German language has been a part of my daily life in one way or the other! Staring at the emails written in German (mostly translated into English as well at…

Art of listening

Powerful lessons are taught by our kids if only we listen! I had a thought provoking conversation with my son last week. As a teenager, he is more and more into conversations with his friends than with his parents and I’m trying to accept it as a reality. He came back home after a tough exam and expressed his sadness in receiving low marks. I’m not a mom who gives a lot of weightage to top notch…

My weight gain journey or "the woman in the mirror"

From the time immemorial (this now sounds a bit dramatic :)), I mean, from the time I could remember, I have been on a weight loss journey, which I can now realize, have been a weight gain journey. My obsession with weight loss started way back when I was may be 12-14 years old! I have been blessed with a healthy Indian body structure(fortunately or unfortunately). Due to my great genes, I have…

Slowing Down and Building a purpose/purposes

I have literally been writing for months now. Life took many turns in the last couple of months, some for good, some for ‘not so’ good! With all the pressure and stress accumulating, what I forgot to do is to unwind and slow down! Ironically I’m deciding to do it on a business trip 🙂 This trip to Germany has given me some time to think about what really matters and to think more about…

Be your own friend..

You came to this world alone You will go back from here alone Then why do you long for someone to share your life with? Why do you wait to be loved? To feel happy? Teach yourself to be your best friend… Learn to walk alone and laugh alone Life’s too beautiful and precious To wait and feel lonely!

Longing

As you fade away and become a distant memory… I wonder if you were just a dream… A dream which gave me hope Made me feel cherished… But then you were so short lived.. May be you were just a fragment of my imagination…my longing!

The World Does Not Need To Know! | 2022 Challenge 1

The World Does Not Need To Know! | 2022 Challenge 1

I started my 2022 with no new resolutions. Resolutions in the past have never worked for me. They die down after the initial enthusiasm, and I wind up the year with nothing much changed. Hence in 2022, I have joined the ‘challenge culture,’ and I’m starting with “The world does not need to know!”. Like many, I have been drawn to social media, and social media did help me in opening up and…
