The YWCA gang

The cast and characters of the following tale and true, alive and kicking ass somewhere. *********************** The year was 2003. I had finished a Masters degree quite painfully and boarded a bus to Delhi. Delhi has had an impact on my life which remains unparalleled in every sphere. I attribute it to the age factor. I was young, a dreamer, an idealist and contrary to when I came to Delhi, when I joined the YWCA, I was a happier soul, having shed the presents from the past to an extent. When I came to Delhi I brought with myself a grumpy-ness and heaps of frustration, both of which my eldest massi and her family bore out with an impeccable smile. The things that I picked up while staying with them bore fruit later in life when I sat down to contemplate my life. As I sit down to write this, I am amazed at my naive-ness or should it be called foolishness, I known not.I did not come to Delhi with any dreams. I came because I wanted to get away from Chandigarh and because I was

It's your time to visit Melbourne NOW But let me tell you about the holiday I dreamt of and how Deserve a holiday, yes I do.

If it ain't for the Great Ocean Road that beckons Why would I dream of clear water, Nature's wonder the Twelve Apostles And some heritage All at once? I am the one for some quiet time But hey!

Did a post on the Importance of being organised for the website edunjobs.in some time back. This post was inspired by the success of a certain person I have known for years.

He firmly believes that his organisational skills have played an important role in upping his career as a manager besides A class training at an A class management school. I found an interesting infographic, part of the post, resourced from the website greatist.com Hope you enjoy!

What had I been doing

I wrote a few articles for a website a few months back. Unfortunately that project had to be stalled but I hope it picks up pace. In the meantime I got busy with The New Indian Express column on food and am thoroughly enjoying it. In between there have been prizes from twitter, a few books, which have been highly entertaining. Getting back to the writing for the website edunjobs.in , I really liked what I was doing there. Some of the articles had been created curating stuff from the Internet. So here is one sampling of such work which is a personal favourite of sorts. Hope you enjoy!
