Candid and Inspiring

There are challenges of being a woman in a patriarchal society. Kangana's take on feminism is what I reciprocate with. Also, the hardships she battled to victory is awe inspiring! Here's a candid and honest interview of Kangana over feminism and her life's struggle.

Amazing song! sairam:)

After a long break!!

Hi folks,

It's been more than a year since I wrote my blog!
Last year was all about leaving my job, shifting to my hometown, MARRIAGE, honeymoon ;) and shifting to my husband's place!!
I'm married now, life's changing - different place, all the way from India to bay area in the US of A; different people, a new outlook, different but shared priorities :) and an amazing life partner to share my life with! Three and a quarter months here now and I'm still settling at my pace, at first it seemed difficult but it's all better when you have your love to support you!
I hope for a happy and bright future for our newly started family, me and my hubby:)

Gearing up for Diwali

It's all busy busy at home, mum with preparing laddus and dad with decorative lights. We three sisters are busy decking up.  I'm home this Diwali after a real long time. Lights, colors, food and of course crackers! With bhuchakras and laxmi bombs, it was a rocking Hyderabadi Diwali :)  

Sipping Reality

Dad tells me that Life is less of science and more of an art and he wishes that I realize this very well so that I can cope up with different persona and I improve to be more proactive and less reactive. With diversity at home: my sister being a medical graduate, youngest sister being an economics major, mum being a housewife with a masters background and my dad who is an all rounder :) I see our differences in our take on life. The youngest one is more practical and influential, my doctor sis has a focused mind and can also manipulate things very well when required (I appreciate the artistic nature), mum is super multitasking and has an amazing stamina (I have always taken mum for granted, I still do) and Dad is wow, he faced extraordinary problems in his life, which he very beautifully carved into milestones to remember (cutting out the details). Hmmm, now time to brag about me: I've been straightforward and utopian, having very idealistic idea on how world runs (not really helpful).

My dad can relate me to be his teen aged clone and tells me how he took so many years in learning that life is an art, explains me how essential it is to be aware and sip the reality without which your'e bound to be piled up with cycles of false hope and disappointment. And true it is, understanding and dealing with different personas effectively is an essential art, in day to day life, in career and in your own personal growth. 

So I'm taking this lesson, walking hand in hand with Dad on this.. I don't intend to lose this idealistic thinking for it brings me amazing ideas and there's no barrier that stops me from making an aim, but I'm just learning another approach that might serve fruitful while dealing with different people.
