You can set your watch by me, that’s how punctual I am. However, sometimes I do have days that make me rush through my routine to keep my punctuality record intact. Last week I had one of those days. I slept through my alarm and woke up to realize that I had precious little time…

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 month followed the next, hope…
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 drooping just like her mouth…
The Beach #WriteAPageADay
As kids summers meant Sundays spent at the beach. At the crack of dawn, my sister and I would be up, waking our favorite uncle (only for the beach Sundays, please! We could afford to be picky. We had 5 uncles, you see!) from the deep slumber he had fallen into after returning home from…

I want to visit Mars! #BlogchatterBlogHop
For their weekly Blog Hop, one of the prompts by Blogchatter for this week was, ‘Would you rather visit Moon or Mars?’. Mars! Mars! I want to visit Mars! Why? That’s where the men are supposedly from! ‘Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus’, remember this line? How many times have you read…
Choosing between Reading and Writing #BlogchatterBlogHop
Reading and Writing are both my loves. How do you choose one over the other, and in this case one without the other? I read so that I can write better. I write what others would like to read. When I go back in time, I realize that I discovered reading and writing together. I…
4 Things About Today’s World That Puzzle Me #BlogchatterBlogHop
The only constant thing in this world is change. When I was growing up change used to be gradual, even slow if I may add, but the pace is not the same anymore. The speed of change is now dizzying. Change is exciting and it is also scary but if you have to grow you…
