For those who were loved immensely, the grief is just as immense. It isnโt the lack of laughter that stings, but the absence of their specific guidance, their particular smile, or the comforting knowledge that they would have been the proudest observers. Continue reading The Paradox of Joy: Finding Light in the Shadow of Immense Loss
As I ponder the intricacies of my existence, I can’t help but wonder if I’m just a supporting character in everyone else’s story, playing the role of the quirky sidekick while the main cast takes centre stage. Continue reading Reflections of Self-Doubt: Navigating Lifeโs Labyrinth
I strongly believe that every child has the right to education regardless of the resources available and this drives me to look forward to a new day with new goals to achieve. Continue reading Meet Rishna Gudhka
I saw these floating around on Facebook. I don’t know who the original author is but I thought I’d share them here. I wouldn’t call them rules, but they definitely do make sense. Basic etiquette, perhaps? Some of them may sound a bit weird but I guess someone came up with them for a reason! Also, I also feel this can be applicable to sons, … Continue reading RULES TO TEACH YOUR DAUGHTER
Often, people say teens are a blessing. I agree with this wholeheartedly until, of course, something like this happens. My daughter has stuck these posters all over the house. Sheโs hiring a PA because sheโs overwhelmed. Her brother applied for the job and was called in for an interview at 8pm last night. He wore a proper jacket over his pyjamas and politely knocked on … Continue reading Hiring a PA
Quick review! I’ve had several meals here, attended quite a few parties and I love Zen Garden. Great ambience, excellent food. My kids love it too! Having said that, my kids are not little and have no need for playgrounds or to run around. Their finicky appetites are whetted at Zen and they eat like they’ve never been fed! There are facilities for the younger … Continue reading Zen Gardens
I still recall how my now 16 year old daughter would spit out anything that was remotely green. She seemed to sense that her meal might have broccoli, Brussel sprouts, peas, french beans, snow peas or anything else. Fast forward to today and she doesn’t spit out her greens but pushes them aside on her plate, never in a pile but artfully all over the … Continue reading Are your kids finicky eaters?
While Deepak Chopra and other self-help, life enhancing life coaches may have made millions writing about 7 types of habits, I thought Iโd throw in my two bits worth. Of course I donโt expect to be paid in millions for this though if the boss is so inclined who am I to say anything? So anyway, kids do and say the darndest things; Iโd … Continue reading 7 Peculiar Habits of Children
Back in 2007 when I’d just joined East FM, the then Manager of Fox Theatres sent complimentary tickets for the entire East FM team to go and watch Jhoom Barabar Jhoom. I recall that we all met up and watched it at Capital Centre. The next day I called the very generous Manager to thank him and he was quite taken aback and said that … Continue reading Some gratitude…
Last week, as we were still nursing hangovers and trying to stop being in denial that 2016 was finally here, I decided to allow my daughter to have a Facebook account. Sheโs fifteen now and I have held out for as long as I could, keeping her away from social media. Many of her friends and cousins have been allowed to have social media … Continue reading When you finally allow your kids to have a Facebook account
