Born under a lucky star.

I, like all others, too have a begining.The entire world celebrated the day I was born. That day, till today is cherished as that of love, happiness and dreams. Ok, now please stop giving me that "Niks,-don't-blow-your-trumpet" look. Mum says it was a calm and quite evening compared to the calamity they thought was in store. The earth did not shake, volcanoes did no erupt and neither did the tsunami...

See your troubles as blessings.

Our troubles are actually blessings in disguise. Each of you would agree with me that we learn the most from the difficult experiences. Have you ever wondered, why we, as humans spend so much of our lives focusig on the negative aspects of our problems rather than seeing them for what they are - Our greatest teachers.Would we have the courage, wisdom and knowledge we possess had we not experienced...

The need to BARE.

Was going through the morning newspaper - the Bombay Times and was quite disgusted. Why?Because it's not the most alluring sight to see men and women in a few strips of cloth, baring everything that is, for the world to see while sipping your mornin' brew. It's not only in the newspapers. It's everywhere....

Child Safety: Is this the only way?

I grew up, like everyone else, on a healthy diet of comics - Winnie the Pooh, Dennis the Menace, Noddy, Casper the Friendly Ghost, Asterix and Charlie Brown. No one at that time and age, ever bother bothered about issues like racisim, child abuse and sexual harassment. We read them and enjoyed them. After I grew up, the same comics were read only when I was ill and in bed and Charlie Brown to a little...

Mother - A Phenomena

There's no emotion quite like that of holding your baby for the first time. Of seeing, hearing and feeling what you carried within you for nine months - a little being, small, vulnerable, wordless. That's when it occurs to her that life has changed irrevocably. That she is now responsible for life...

What's in your bag?

Since Junior college I have always carried oversized bags. To college, to work, to outings… everywhere. My mum wondered what I stuff in it, so I set about ‘cleaning’ it. The BLP (bottomless pit) revealed:1. A telephone diary, a scribbles diary2. A pouch containing strips of basic medicine, band-aids,...

Inspired by Keshi, I have decided to list my bizarre habits and quirks.They are in no particular order...1. I’m a hand talker. I don’t mean I do sign language. I mean I will be on the phone and will be talking about something and my hands will mimic the motion, even though the other person can not see...

So I am writhing this...only for HER..hoping that when she reads this...she might see things in a different way.Dear...

Do you wanna have some?', momma asked.Papa: I am going to have fruits for dinner.Momma: Fine. You go ahead. I and Niks don't...

Simple, yet so profound.

Can I make a tiny wish? A real tiny one? Can I call upon the stars to freeze my life here and not allow me to move at all? Even after howling and wailing about how things are, I am happy the way they are. I love the people around me even with all the endless fights and arguments that I have with them....
