Dew drops glistening on the grass in the sunlight. Beautiful sight. One that can stay in the mind for a long time. It felt good to be able to go for a walk after a long time. Without the pressure of an impending meeting or critical bills hanging over the head. At least for now. … Continue reading »

To ourselves

The issue of car parking. I work late and was still sleeping in the morning when the neighbors called the cops. A bunch of them shouting profanities (‘behen ki laudi,bahar nikal’) and rasing a hue and cry. And for what. For the parking of a car. A single person could have come to deal with … Continue reading »

A moment of quietness

The online shop has been launched, despite and inspite of. Also most of the flaws have been removed. PayPal is working successfully but apparently it cannot be used by the domestic users so we will need to get a payment gateway integrated. OK, so far so good.

To communicate in silence

My mind is not working today. Too many thoughts crashing into each other. Traffic jam so to say. I was told once that I would not be able to survive as a single woman and definitely not in the world of business. And the footnote was ‘ unless I agreed to be the mistress of … Continue reading »

Anytime, Anywhere

Meeting in the morning in Gurgaon. Morning meetings are always tough. The cups of tea go for a toss. And the walk. And the quiet time. The last three days have been difficult. very difficult.

‘A class apart’

My father always gave money to his mother but always in hiding. ‘Hiding’ was a way of life in my family of origin. My mother would invariably find out and then there would be ugly fights.

‘Time’ in place of ‘money’

There is no ‘Atta’ in the house. Amidst all the calls of clients (existing and potential),files,meetings, this thought floats uppermost in my mind.

Burn out phase

My father stays in touch He calls, he informs me about tender notices which are relevant to our field of work. Maybe it is his way of showing that he cares. Maybe, I should be OK with that. But this will always be the haziest (does such a word even exist?) area of my life. … Continue reading »

Surrender

I had a very severe throat infection and my daughter did not allow me to get up to prepare breakfast for her when she left for her exam in the morning. I am very grateful to her as I truly did not have the strength. I am very grateful to her for a lot of … Continue reading »
