Thoughts and ideas that make me ponder turned into anecdotes
Life lessons that led to breakthroughs
It’s been a while since I began noting down every little epiphany, every little lesson, learning that I gather from day to day life. And believe me, it has been so helpful, serving as reminders for when I doubt myself, when I need that little push, or simply when am reflecting. Let’s go! The easiest…
Life hacks that remain evergreen
Of everything that make a year worth remembering, it is the lessons that serve as stepping stones to becoming who we are meant to be that stay with us longest. 2022 had a few of these that have become the foundation for 2023. Acknowledging things for what they are By default we are always judging…
A moment for a story

4 fun things my wheelchair can do
Since I am so used to my wheelchair, I hardly noticed how very functional it is. It acts as a storage, a car, a ladder, sabzi (vegetable) basket, a rocking chair, and oh, it also helps me move around. Over the years, I learnt to maneuver it with ease, and also have fun with it….
Sweet secrets the environment whispers
I’ve seen a lot of conversations online and offline championing environment awareness but I still used to wonder what I would write or talk about the environment when I don’t have the expertise it needs.
