Happy Anniversary!!

Celebrating 3 years today--
You came into my life as a surprise gift and have stayed with me every single day…
Sweetly waking me up every day and putting me to sleep with your sweet music…
You are the first one I reach out to, be it in joy or in pain…
You bring me closer to my loved ones…
You are a store of good old memories and continue to charm me…
You have always given me your best though I have let you down many a times; you are still one of the best assets of my life…
How I panic when you are out of reach for a few minutes!
My dear Sony Ericsson Aino, how I wish you knew you are more than just a mobile to me!

My dream for my daughter

Image
As a kid, I always wished I was a boy, so I could choose any 'profession I wanted', go out 'where I wanted' to and return 'when I wanted' to. Being a boy meant living life without too many boundaries.  Today, times are changing, and I'm happy this world is a better place for my daughter. I hope she would be able to live like a boy rather than wish she was a boy. There are a lot of efforts being taken to allow women into every other profession and sports, to make places safer for women and to enable them to step out of their homes irrespective of the time. The theme for International Women’s Day 2024 is ‘Invest in Women: Accelerate Progress’ meaning to focus on supporting and investing in women to make things better for everyone. Investing in women, be it at home or at work will reap the benefits not just for the investor and the woman, but for the nation at large.  Finally, a word to parents of young girls, we need not remind them that they will

Tia

Tia, a short and sweet name I thought. I first noticed this name in our apartment WhatsApp group two years ago. Tia mostly asked questions in the group, and signed off with her name at the bottom of every message. I wondered why she used a man’s WhatsApp number to ask questions, ‘May be she wanted to keep her number private or most unlikely she did not have a WhatsApp number?’   ‘What’s in a name?’ they say. However, nay, I am fond of short names and have the habit of checking the meanings of such names. Google tells me Tia is a Christian girl name meaning happiness or princess. The Greek word Tia means Goddess or Godly. The Hebrew origin says Tia is the nickname of Tamara, daughter-in-law of Judah. Great, so the name has been around for a really long time.  Now that I had already named my daughter Aditi, I didn’t stand a chance of using this name in the immediate future. Aditi was another such name, not an uncommon name though; but it stuck to my head ever since I heard th

The Power of Music

Image
I was home alone after a very long time. I did what I loved doing during such times; listening to music while painting. Solitude and music have a certain chemistry that can boost our energy; where we have a space that is devoid of distractions and immerse in our inner self, doing what we love the most. I believe we all need such short breaks in our life, where we disconnect from everyone and everything and connect with ourselves.  I have a playlist on my mobile that I love to listen to during my hours of solitude (spare me for the lack of disconnection from device, I didn't have an alternative to play music). I have often wondered why I love listening to this playlist when I am alone. It consists of songs that carry memories; of childhood, of motherhood, of road journeys and of certain people in my life.  It's beautiful how a song can take you back to your school days or a particular trip or remind you of someone who is no longer around. That explains why I have goosebumps when
