October 21st happened to be one of those days with a potential to change your life. My life specifically.

Through a friend of my mom, I heard of this Doctor who had himself been in my position and had succeeded in breaking out of it. His methods were unconventional so to say, but traditional at the same time. Now this was the point this guy really grabbed my attention. He lost a whopping 30 kilos in the meager time frame of 3 months. Amazing. Inspiring too.

I left the workshop, feeling all charged up and positive. But enthusiasm is not new to me. I have always had my ups and downs. This time, I really look forward to staying up and up only. Like Doctor showed us, we need to Finish Strong. As life takes yet another turn, I know I can and that I will, but I can take all the help I can get from you guys. 

Psst: Will keep you posted on my journey.

The news that her parents would be staying a while with her was by far one of the most pleasant surprises she had received in a long while.

Dark Secret

To say the least, my parents rejected and disowned me when they came to know how I really am. It is not by my free will that I lead a life like this, hiding from the society, never going home, always afraid of being ridiculed or mocked at. It is not my parents’ fault that they live in a coastal village along the western ghats of India where they are still not free to decide what is right and what is wrong for them. Similarly, it is not my fault that I’m like this; this is not a choice I have made.

A Fistful of Rose Petals

“Maaaaaaaa! Gueshh what I got” my little birdie chirped in her ever pleasing sing song voice. “Hmm.. what is it baby?” “Gueshh naaaa…” the birdie’s voice is gaining frequency the minute. She is every bit her father’s daughter – loving, raucous and edgy. Looking up at her from the book I am reading, see that her tiny little hand is all balled up into a tight fist and is outstretched towards me. “Is it a button?” She loves picking up these things from wherever she can. “No” “Hmm.. is it a marble?” “No…” “Then is it..’” “Never mind maa, I will show you” and she opens up her fist with a broad smile to show these precious petals from a rose flower, blood red in colour. I am at a loss at what to tell her. Do I tell her that a plant is a living being, and that she is not supposed to hurt another living thing? But how could - I - who kills cockroaches and mosquitoes, eats non vegetarian food – tell my daughter that it is wrong hurt another living be...
