Time waits for no man and yet we spend our lifetimes waiting for something to come along so we can finally live our lives the way we imagined it. Time becomes our enemy, robs us of peace, health and happiness and keeps us prisoners of hope. The clock ticks on incessantly – each tick making us […]

Cook, Love, Live
You should do things that make you happy. ** No, really. You may start out loving something because of certain reasons. I started out loving cooking because the man I loved, loved good food. It grew into baking, into picking organic over regular foods, over local produce over imported ingredients. It has come a long […]
Life Lessons In 2013
LOVE AFTER LOVE The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was yourself. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart […]
Let Me Go..
Oh..How I long for… Blinding Darkness… Emptiness…Nothingness… No thoughts…No memories… No pain… No regrets… Let it be all over… Oh.. How I long to Walk … walk… and walk Through towns, cities, hills and deserts… Regions all new, unidentifiable, Unknown and strange! Let unfamiliarity encompass me Bury me in itself! My very identity… defined […]
Choices..
It is true what they say – beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. The scene outside the window rarely changed. Whether it seemed verdant, misty and beautiful or simply bleak depended on her state of mind. Today, it appeared bleak. Maybe it was the old nostalgic songs that brought up memories of the […]
In Pursuit Of Happiness.
I am envious of happy people. Before you judge, it’s not that I want them to suffer, nor do I wish that troubles afflict their lives.. I am just uncomfortable with happiness, I cannot be completely happy without the thought, ‘What if something goes wrong?’ And I think I can partly put the blame on the superstition which goes, ‘If you experience great […]
Sometimes…
Sometimes… You want to be the part of the celebrations but you end up being a silent spectator on the other side of the window. You feel like hugging someone and saying,’thank you’ but instead you end up staying two steps away. You feel like jumping in the rain but you end up blanketing your […]
A Promise..
And he is gone again, with a promise of returning next year. Traces of him will remain in the soil of our garden and in the potted plants in my window for ever. My little grey God of clay. A guest on my side-board for day-before and yesterday. The lights were twinkling through the night […]
In The Flow..
Life is shrinking every day. Each day death defeats life and conquers the span life claims it to be hers. This is a movement. Call it living or dying. It is not a war but we may make one of it. By complaining, by cribbing, by pushing too hard against life, by being adamant […]
Best Laid Plans…
If you are like me, then you expect to be given what you have asked for. At least that is how I imagined the wish-fulfilling department of heaven worked! You check off items on a catalogue, place an order and then wait for it to arrive within the next 30 days. I gave up the 30 day rule a […]
This Moment..
This moment and nothing. This moment, the ripples in billowed clouds, this moment the surge to puncture,to tear the tears and fly off- to the winged cloud, the tailed cloud, the untamed cloud, the dispersing cloud, the undying-undulating cloud, the spiralling cloud, the mischievous and mercurious loud, the uninhibited,unshy,the naked,the mutinous cloud.

Dear Universe..
I have stayed positive, written in my gratitude journal, prayed every day and tried to be one with your flow. And nothing! Zilch! I know you hate it when I live in the past but I can’t help it. Just look at last year – 2012. It was nothing short of magical. You got me […]
