Stardust

It is said that we are made of Stardust. Somehow these particular atoms of the universe came together to form you and me. As mind-blowing as it sounds, it can’t be a coincidence.  I believe a power greater than us exist and it works within us. This is the logic of the universe. Eckhart Tolle…

The boy who knew his way

The boy who knew his way is a my attempt at poetry inspired by my beautiful son.

The Theory of Chaos and Change

When I was doing my Master’s degree I wrote a paper on Theory of Chaos. It was more a view towards organisational structure and change with a business view point but what struck me while researching it was how beautiful Chaos is. Too young to understand the full depth of what the learning was that…

Anomaly

The lockdown has allowed me to binge-watch my favorite TV show, The Big Bang Theory from start to finish. It was the best escape I could find to get away from the anxiety around the blasted pandemic. The more I watched Sheldon the more it reminds me of kids like my boy who struggle with…

I am because You are

Late evening 10 years ago on May 11, 2 weeks overdue, I was induced at the Cambridge University Rosy Hospital. 32+ hrs of labor later, I was taken to the OR and in the wee hours of the morning my husband was given a little pink package and he began the most important journey in…

It has become a very real and tangible fear…

To do List: 9. Rise from Ashes

The last one month has been a whirlwind of events, emotions and I cannot believe how much it has given me to think. I was going through my Photo Gallery of all the pictures I have taken in the last one month and this one struck me as the one that most summarises what I…

Autopilot

I am sitting here alone in the reception of the therapy center,  the boy is in a session. I sit and stare at my phone and scroll through meaningless posts and videos. Some raise my anxiety and some I just don’t register.  I appear bored, uninterested, tired, but my insides are like a raging tumultuous sea.Tears trickle…

To do List: 8. She beckons me.

The Ocean is beautiful, immense and incredibly strong. She has the power to nurture and kill. She holds secrets and throws out the unwanted. She is serene, clear and calming, but can be deep and dark and treacherous. I have this unexplainable attraction to the Sea. I am scared of her depth, she is so…
