I took the last step to change my surname today. Finally. No going back. And I feel kinda weird about it.
I have been using the married name slowly and gradually since I came to the UK. From strictly stating “I WILL NOT CHANGE MY SURNAME” to ” hmm yeah maybe in my medical forms [...]
19 years, 400 hearings, 40 adjournments and at the end of it, Ruchika Girhotra’s family had no justice for the injustice meted out to them in 1990. It was in 1990 that 14-year-old Ruchika was molested by DGP Shambhu Pratap Singh Rathore and within the span of three years, drove the child to take her [...]
By day singing praises of social media and the latest wonder it is capable of and by night, decrying those who use the power of the same to reach out towards some support and solace. The media, the blogosphere, everyone is at it again. Shellie Ross, aka Twitterer Military_Mom, finds herself the latest victim of [...]
Some might find it dreary, some depressing but to me, Autumn has always seemed exotic. With trees sporting warm tones of colours, from a mellow yellow to a fiery red, the first half of Autumn is more fun than Winter can ever be.

Tharini – what a lovely idea! Thank you for that [...]

My staple food these days are rice, curd and maavadu pickle. No matter whatever else I chuck, I can at least keep this combo down (touchwood!) With P, I subsisted mainly on pasta and S has taken to commenting, ‘this one seems to be an Iyengar maami!’
But now, my diet is under attack.

The last time I was pregnant, I was woefully unprepared, physically, mentally and psychologically. I felt totally out of control and worse, beyond extending any sort of control over my situation. I just decided to go with the flow and hope that it got me and my baby through to the other side.
It did. I [...]
Fresh out of college, I used to work for a local, city-based portal as a content writer and then later, Web Content Manager. In that guise, I met many interesting characters, attended many functions and generally led an interesting life. But of all the people I met, none affected me more than Vandana and Vaishnavi, [...]

Now if that isn’t a miracle, I do not know what is. This baby girl, born two months premature, when her mum squatted over the Indian toilet on a train in Rajasthan, survived the fall, lying in the cold for two hours and the filthy toilet, too!
