I am re-publishing this piece of writing, as a blog, years after it was awarded a prize in "Soul Space" in the Deccan Chronicle.Last month my middle aged father died unexpectedly. He was an excellent doctor but could not get adequate attention in his time of need. When I saw his body after his death, he looked calm and peaceful, as if in a deep slumber. He looked strong, healthy, glowing, and almost divine. I presumed he was comfortable in his new-found abode which in turn explained... Read Full Story

This puzzles, astounds, confuses and even frustrates atleast 99% of the male population on planet earth. The authors, saints, psychaitrists and philosophers too gave up their hopes in trying to find the answer "what women want". How can women blame husbands and partners who are engineers,doctors or businessmen to understand what they want? As a woman, I think I can understand, sympathize and recognize the basic thing what women want, leaving alone all their materialistic longings.... Read Full Story

Everyday we see thousands of faces in the crowds. We mingle with hundreds of them. Interact with tens of them. And actually connect with a handful. Most connections last a few seconds while some last a few minutes. Among my bookmarked connections, first on the list is my husband, though strangely we have network problems. I don't get a chance to speak with my husband even 10 sentences a day, sometimes. There were times when I really wanted to express immense joy and I got a curt "I w... Read Full Story

As all the wash loads are usually air-dried or sun-dried, the clothes are damp and smelly nowadays.Rain in Bangalore also creates choked traffic, especially if the streets are f... Read Full Story

It was early in the morning at about half past four on the 7th of September 2007 that I dreamt of a disturbing air crash. It was followed by another dream - an air attack, very similar to the 9/11 attack in the U.S.A. What surprised me were the graphic details which I saw in my dream. I somehow felt that these were not mere gut feelings. So I pulled myself out of the bed and penned them down. I even did a few sketches to make sure that I don't lose track of the details. I felt funny as I ... Read Full Story

My colleague forwarded an independence-day greeting to me, the other day. I loved the power-point presentation about India and in the process came to know that Mark Twain and Albert Einstein said such nice things about India. We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made- Albert Einstein. India is the cradle of the human race, the birthplace of human speech, the mother of history, the grandmother of ... Read Full Story

I was just out to pick up my daughter at her playschool yesterday and saw what i thought was highly inhuman act on the roadside. A construction worker lifted a little child sky high and threw her into the sand which was piled near by. I stood stunned and glimpses of an elephant playing football with his mahout and some people nearby just flashed across in my mind. The woman lifted the child a second time and threw it down when adrenalin started to pump into my body and I rushed to the site. T... Read Full Story
