What I learnt about Time Management from Mumbai
Every time I visit Mumbai, this beautiful city of dreams teaches me a new lesson for life. Amidst the thrill of almost missing my flight (inspite of starting 3 hours prior to my boarding time) and then catching up, I caught up on my breath at the airport, while waiting for my boarding announcement. ‘Mumbai Special’ Time Management – This is what stayed with me this time, as I sat and reflected on the last 4 eventful days at Mumbai. Yes, I call it eventful because it had all the key elements – the Mumbai rains, jam-packed traffic, water-logging red alerts, hectic work schedules, early morning timelines, Marine Drive, ‘vada…

That first touch of a newborn baby on Day 1
Here’s a heartfelt short story on that feeling of the first touch of a newborn baby. It is an angelic touch indeed! “A happy baby has shining eyes. It walks open hearted into the world and spreads magic.” ~ Sigrid Leo 09:55 AM | It was a usual Friday at work. The floor was bustling with activity and each cubicle was getting started with its onsite calls. We had already started feeling the vibe of the upcoming weekend. That’s exactly how Friday mornings feel in an IT office. The managers were doing the rounds just to keep an eye on who’s getting into the ODC at what time. Wish early…

Cruising For A Bruising In My Rocking 30s
As I sit to pen down my thoughts today, I realise that it is 10th August 2019. Tomorrow, I will officially turn 31. Yes, that’s my age for the records! I’m not too sure if mentioning one’s biological age openly, is within the brackets of ‘etiquettes’ or not. Honestly, I don’t even care. I have never shied away from telling my age, by giving a blatant excuse stating ‘you should never ask a woman her age’. I mean – duh uh! It is not a big deal. Anyway, all that matters is your mental age – what and how you feel from inside. It has been a strangely hot and…

How I Turned My Life Around Even On A Depressing Dependent Visa (H4) in USA
Taking that decision to shift base to USA, without going to office at all – on an H4 visa, was not an easy call. And heading straight into a sudden break from a hectic corporate work schedule made that role transition in life, even more difficult. Backdrop of My Travel on an H4 Visa I travelled to USA on Nov 1, 2017 with an H4 visa. Back then, I was not quite a believer of long distance marriages (well, I still have my reservations there!) and was a flag-bearer of ‘no-matter-what-couples-live-together’ policy. Prior to this, I was working in Singapore, in a well-salaried and full-fledged role of a software developer-cum-analyst,…

Mom, I celebrate you everyday, not just today – #HappyMothersDay
It was a regular sign off from a working day and I was on my way back home. My bus was filled with people from various walks of life and bustling with endless chatter. Luckily, the AC was a huge relief on a typical humid Bhubaneswar evening in the month of March. Just then, a friend messaged me about this beautiful campaign – “From Ma, With Love” by One Future Collective. It was celebrating recollections of feminist tales and lessons, passed down to us, by our mother and a beautiful tribute to moms on Mother’s Day. This reminded me of Ma’s glass of lemonade which must be ready by the…

A Leap Into The Unknown – My First Scuba Dive at PHUKET
I was slowly submerging into the ocean and did not know how to swim. And I chose to take that scuba leap into the unknown. Little did I realize that it would change my life forever. It was a bright sunny day in Phuket and I was enjoying one of the best mornings of my life. I had visited Thailand for the first time, with a group of friends and was awestruck with the natural beauty of Phuket. There could not have been a better combination of sun, water, greenery and sands – served on the same platter. On our way to the Khao Phing Kan (popularly known as the…

Photo Blog Series on Lake Tahoe – California
Never have I experienced a more magical sunset than that evening at Lake Tahoe in California. Lake Tahoe is a large freshwater lake in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, straddling the border of California and Nevada. It’s popularly known for its beaches and ski resorts. It was an impromptu road trip to Tahoe from San Francisco, last winter. We quickly packed our bags on an early Saturday morning, booked a cosy accommodation at the Red Wolf Lakeside Lodge on Groupon (on-the-fly) and hit the roads. With small pit-stops for food and refreshments, we made it to Lake Tahoe by afternoon. Wish I could exactly describe how I felt, on that first…

Those Lives Did Not Deserve This End – This is Personal! #PulwamaTerroristAttack
The 14th of February, 2019 : While the whole world was celebrating this beautiful day of love, India was bleeding red in the wee hours of the morning at Pulwama, Kashmir. I woke up, read about this ghastly incident, felt numb, gathered bits and pieces of my mind and penned down a post on ‘Love Yourself’ to give some sanity to my agitated mind. Yes, I did that, to divert my mind towards some sort of instant optimism maybe. Neither is this post a social media gimmick nor is this a claim to free publicity. I just feel the need to express my anguish as an Indian. I still get goosebumps…

Take A Vow To Love Yourself This Valentine’s!
Happy Valentine’s Day Folks! Today, as I logged into social media, my feed was filled with Valentines Day messages, couple pictures, some people giggling and calling this public display of affection unnecessary, some naming them as attention-seekers, some actually seeking for that attention, some celebrating their single status, some celebrating with family and what not! Amidst these million posts, I came across a post from a woman in her 30s, who gifted a solitaire to herself this Valentine’s! Such a subtle yet powerful message there – Celebrating your own existence in life! She’s celebrating herself today and proclaimed that with elan. I have strongly believed that self-love is not selfish…

A Road Trip to Las Vegas – The Sin City
Las Vegas is christened with many titles – “The Gambling Capital of the World”, “The Sin City”, “The Entertainment Capital of the World” and what not! Little did I know that my first official trip in the United States would be straight to its heart – Las Vegas. This was yet another unplanned trip when we decided to head to the Sin City over a weekend from San Francisco. All the last minute bookings were made mostly on GroupOn and AirBnB on a Friday night. We took a 2-day off from work and were on the roads by Saturday morning. I’m penning down a short and crisp check-list for your…

Top Indian Restaurants in Austin – Texas, USA
Even though I am not a huge fan of Indian food outside India (it just does not taste authentic), I still have this knack of checking out the Indian restaurants outside the country. Perhaps, it is my faint hope, which silently keeps nudging me to find out an authentic taste of India abroad. So, when I arrived in Austin (capital city of Texas – USA), it was a natural tendency for me to look for a nice and warm Indian restaurant, just to welcome myself in a new country in some way! Being in a new city with no acquaintances, I tried looking for options over the internet. And the…
