An arranged match bound my Husband and me in matrimony. As a result of which we started getting to know each other only post marriage.

What I say & what I mean: My Resolutions for 2019! #NYR2019

The end result was beautiful writing. Proof that New Year Resolutions work IF they are feasible (I badly failed my ‘I-will-marry-George-Clooney-this-year’ 2005 resolution) and you follow …

The Husband Chronicles: #24
So there I was, going about my work while The Husband was talking to a friend on the phone. An intense and animated conversation, with hands flying all over the place, when they weren’t running through his hair, and a serious look carved on his face, as he paced up and down the living room. In the last hour of …
