Parinda
Achanak se bijli chali gayiSab ne ghar khali kar diyaKuch saathi saath rehna chahte thePar humne unhe bhi azaad kar diya
Soundtrack of a Simple Life
Fall is my favorite season - not too warm, not yet too cold. I’ve been trying to savor the weekends before the chill fully sets in. One late evening, I attended a musical concert by high schoolers in our town, and I was in awe of how beautifully they played in chorus. Their effort was evident, and it showed in the way families swayed to the music, smiling as the students sang with such heart.
Walking Home at Dawn
When I was a child, I was good at more than one thing - painting was one of them. But growing up in a typical South Indian household, my parents gently nudged me toward academics. My South Indian friends will surely resonate with this - it’s almost tradition! “Art comes naturally to you,” they’d say. “You’ll score full marks anyway. Focus on math and science.” I laugh now, remembering those words.
Sneh Ka Bandhan
Jab tum mere ghar aayi,
From Chai to Courage
A childhood dream came true when I sipped chai at one of India’s most prestigious landmark hotels - not as a guest, but as a participant in a transformative women’s leadership training. The opulence of the venue paled in comparison to the wealth of wisdom shared among a room full of trailblazing women. Each sip of chai, meal and moment, steeped in inspiration around the industry.
Lukha Chupi
Dhoonda tujhe ghar mein,
Painting Happiness
I love the pond. The pond always whispers serenity to me - a place that is familiar like a lullaby tucked in a corner of memory. It’s never loud. It doesn’t need to be. It waits, always, with water that mirrors the sky and a silence that never feels lonely. It's a home to flora and fauna - like a living mosaic!
Hope came in a Yellow Cab
A little over a decade ago, I was suffering from acute back pain, scheduled for an MRI scan. The appointment was still a week away - each day leading up to it felt endless. My thoughts wondered what the scan would reveal, what it would mean.
Tum Akele Yeh Sab Kaise Kar Leti ho?
Tum akele yeh sab kaise kar leti ho?
To My Father, My Hero
As of today, my father is 75 years old. It’s impossible to describe him in just one word—he embodies grit, determination, foresight and, at the same time, is loving, nurturing, and protective.
Life Lessons Reflection
Love Yourself: Wear your soul with pride – your inner light is unmatched. Be your own biggest cheerleader: treat yourself with kindness, be your closest ally, and believe in your own worth. You don’t need to change because you are already whole and complete, just as you are.
