Bye for now..

There is an orphanage right next to my apartment, now this is a big bungalow that houses girl children who have been orphaned or belong to very poor families that can’t afford to keep these girls..brings back memories of The Kite Runner, but the impression I got is that the girls are reasonably happy..as happy [...]

Resurfacing again

Ok here’s the update on my earlier post, didnt want to edit that one.  As Chandni put it I didnt want to let my prejudices /judgements to cloud my what I had to say to D. It was very clear that she wanted my help…she has no other friends or siblings.
So I decided to get [...]

Resurfacing to breathe

Well I’m still neck deep in work…more and more seems to accumulate and I have a tag and a follow up post pending. But I’m doing neither and will instead write about an issue that has been simmering for a long time now and yesterday I was left fuming with the situation..
My friend D, the [...]

10 things I miss (This is turning out to be tough..I guess I’m having a better life now!)

Being around my mom all the time..

My grandmom being this active energetic woman..her weak [...]

Buddies..

MM asked a question on her blog, whether we still have a best friend, like the kinds we had in school…this kind of opened a floodgate of emotions and feelings in me and it came close on the heels of KT asking me why I didnt still cultivate and nurture friendships…
I had a ” best [...]

Dear Me from 2007
Spending the new year all alone in your apartment, watching the runs and re [...]

On parenting and care giving

This is not a very well structured post..it’s just a lot of thoughts that have been floating around in my head….
Close on the heels A’s surgery came news of Lakshmi, a two year old child. This was no mean surgery, a marathon 40 hour effort on the little girl who was born with the limbs [...]

American life

KT and me are living the American way….buy stuff left right and center and swipe a credit card…once we get all of this mess sorted out I’m going to lock away our cards….

God or…god???

I was just reading my earlier post…and I had written the word “God”. This kindled in me a childhood memory…of me writing something…an essay perhaps where I had written “god” rather than “God” with a capital G.
My teacher had corrected i, struck out my “god” and wrote “God”…my rebellious streak which now surfaces way too [...]

A, patti and me

The past two days have been extremely bad…with A in hospital for his surgery and me juggling hospital duty and work… Poor kid, I feel so bad for him…this whole surgery was so unnecessary and avoidable had he alerted us to the issue a bit earlier…I have now taken a vow never to ignore a [...]
