 I realized yet another thing today. As we age, our resilience reduces. Mine has. And my morning prayer is I can't take any hate today. 

But funnily enough, after finishing yet another Netflix show, I go back to twitter - hatewitter - to make myself fall asleep. 

And I pray that let there be yet another outage of whatsapp, twitter and facebook which must last at least for a week. 

At the end of it, people may find their smile returning to their faces and world will have lesser violence, physical and verbal. Do you agree?

This was the poem we studied in our school days and never realized its significance that time. Now it becomes so evident and it looks like a universal truth. Yes mother is God to all of us. Who is the poet of this wonderful poem? I have to ask my mom. Yes, my mom was our google before google was even founded. She knows everything - not just things around the house. She knows and knew literature, politics, science, on the whole everything under the sun. Not only to us, even the children in our street would come to her for essay writing or for debate writing.  Till we were in 10 class, s...

I was trying to pluck a mango. Not from neighbor's house. Nor from someone's house on the way. The mango had grown in our own garden. Because my husband worked hard and built a beautiful house. Planted two mango trees. Religiously watered them. Fanatically protected them.   Now the trees are 20 feet tall almost and have blossomed into hundreds and hundreds of sweet wonders.  Which made me busy this year. Since the last 3 months, I have been screeching, roaring, shouting at little kids who love the taste of raw, sour mangoes, which are luring them while they innocently were walking like little angels.
