I am a mother, writer, dreamer, fitness enthusiast and...oh yes, an Economist too. The purpose of this blog was primarily to be an organized dumping place for all that I write. Earlier, thoughts like, "why would anyone like to read my stuff", "some folks may not like my writing", "I may be judged" etc, would bother me and stopped me from making my blog public for a long time. However, with time I have come to realize that it is indeed important to share and reach out. If I'd be able to touch even a few lives in some way I'd be glad. I am no longer scared of being judged. It's not only about me, it's also about millions of women like me, dealing with the issues related to work, parenting, relationships, health, nutrition, money, failures and a million other conflicting priorities.

TikTok, the ticking time-bomb (Part 1)
The popularity of TikTok can be primarily attributed to the never-ending flow of titillating videos, cringeworthy content, suggestive expressions, risqué humour and raunchy moves. The increasing popularity of TikTok is evidence that we have a grotesque, scintillating, sexual, raunchy, hate-filled dark side to us, in contrast to the otherwise sober-sanskari-value-loaded outer personalities we project!
COVID-19 Lockdown – Managing Anxiety in Children between 9-13 years
It is very important to understand that our children are as vulnerable and stressed out as we are. They may not know it yet. If your child is nervous or under stress, he/she could be displaying one or some of the following signs. Watch out for these ten signs of anxiety and to be able to address them early on.
Detachment is Liberating!
It is utterly important to understand that detachment does not mean that you should stop to love, to care, being passionate, being involved. It just means learning to “live in the moment”. Detachment means being able to be engaged wholly as long as the object is with us, and once when not, cherish memories with fondness and without judgement, anger or pain.
