Here’s looking at you, 2023! #TheYearAndYou
12 months. 365 days. 8760 Hours. 525600 Minutes. 31557600 Seconds. Each time a year draws to a close, I find myself looking back at it to conduct a year audit and a self audit. I remember starting 2023 with dread and hope, a strange cocktail, wouldn’t you say? As one…
The Old Woman and I #BlogchatterBlogHop
The clouds seemed to be darkening by the minute thought Mia as she looked up at the sky yet again. She then craned her neck to look down the winding road as far as her eye could see. No sign of the bus yet, she sighed to herself her shoulders…

‘Form a single file, put your finger on your lips, and follow me’, rang out Ms. Phadnis’s unmistakable voice rang down the corridor. We looked at each other with barely contained excitement, furiously whispering behind the finger on our lips. ‘No talking, Girls!’, Ms. Phadnis turned back to glare us…
Boring People #StoryTellersBlogHop
Mishraji was the most hated member of the staff. He was a lazy slob, was known to rap his students on their knuckles with a wooden ruler, asked his students for gifts and favors, ate from everyone’s tiffins, and never shared his own. He was fond of ‘updating’ the Principal…
On Discrimination #CauseAChatter
When my younger sister was born my Dad was advised by his relatives and friends, ‘You are now the father of TWO girls, at least now learn to stay humble’. To which my Father retorted, ‘Now is when I am going to be even more arrogant because I am blessed…
