Yesterday I shared my about me page with another blogger. I had made a point in that page saying my son’s autism made me a spiritual person! It is not easy celebrating festivals or following a rigid religious schedule with a special need person in the home. Add to that he has his own rituals…

Do you trust your instincts? I am really scared about my instincts and that too my negative instincts! My negative instincts about my kids really come true, therefore I have started not to think about it! Anyhow today morning, I had to leave my special one alone so I can take a quick shower. There…

All of November I wanted to write to prompts from other bloggers. I spent so much of my time searching and reading prompts that I missed on writing. Anyhow I have not been an utter failure in my quest, as I look back I did write on average two from other prompts and two from…

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? I have lived in two countries. I have lived in a women’s hostel run by Nuns, lived in 3 cities in the US and a major city in India. I complained about my hostel life and the attitude of the nuns to my…

What’s the coolest thing you’ve ever found (and kept)? One man’s trash is another man’s treasure! I do not go hunting for treasures. But I have books handed to me by Grandmothers!

Today morning I saw a post on social media that said potatoes were rich in protein. I think everyone would get elated if it is placed in the same category as broccoli and spinach! We all love it when it is sliced thin as fries or round as wedges or made into fat cubes for…

What will your life be like in three years? I searched my phone to see the pictures taken November 2020 to jog my memory. I had a screenshot taken by my younger one that said Putin has Parkinsons and he would leave Russian Presidency in January 2021! If he had done that a war would…
