Yesterday I heard various one liners which I think will help all of us. Most of them were regarding anxiety and loneliness; there is no new info there. But reiterating the same heard lines of advice may seep through the thick wall of our ego at some point in the future. Mindfulness - I kept on reminding myself to do headspace especially this new year since it’s a hatke resolution in the pool of ma...
Just another Monday in December. But on some mornings I get into blues, need not be a Monday though, and I start rambling. Twitter gets the brunt of it most, but since it’s already in deep s.h.i.t nowadays, I presume it’s won’t mind to carry some more. For me. I haven’t taken premium yet it gives me the platform to rant. I should be grateful since it’s a good way to relieve the negativity I have i...

Making habits is so hard. Some routines give contentment and some give fruitful results but for some routines we don’t see any results. There may be results but it’s not visible enough. Like the daily writing we are doing now. We wonder how it helps to blurt out the rambling’s coming unfiltered from the mind. The analogy I can think of removing the junk from the drain and the water pipes. To ensu...
One more month to go. Do you have that habit of retrospecting whole year and wondering what all you could’ve done? Yes there are achievements to be celebrated, small wins and moments that matter too. Mostly it’s the unfinished lists that you would be writing down to complete next year. As if that idea and clarity of achieving those goals drives you and energises you enough to get up and shake the ...
I am too immersed in book today to think or observe things to write about for the ongoing series. It’s about cooking, women and the misogynistic view of the country they staying in, and how it affects them deeply. It’s supposedly a thriller, but the repetitive cooking and descriptions of how the food taste etc is a bit overwhelming for me. I don’t like cooking much and do it for survival. I like a...

It all started as usual with KDramas. The journey into Korean food, finding out about ramen and sushi(actually gimbap in korean which we thought as sushi), ordering from Daily Sushi, finding out about other korean cafés in Bangalore. It all happened because of the crash landing(#iykyk). As Indians we are also expert in jugaads. Instead of wasting money in hifi places everyday we will slowly think...
Today, baaton hi baaton main, we remembered a school friend of husband from his native. He had taken his life few years ago after a framed police case regarding some fraud. We were discussing how sensitive he was from childhood. All the neighbours knew him as a “softy”. I feel his failure is a cultural failure since teaching him to balance his emotions was a cultural responsibility like many other...
This “NoBreakNovember” series by thinkdeli reminds me of another writing community I was part of, years earlier. We used to post everyday in April under “AprilBloggingChallenge”. I have attempted only once and that itself tired me out. I was out of ideas dang in the middle. Though we completed the challenge, what I realised is there are few tricks of the trade which people do for such challenges. ...
