Keshav had a great janma tithi…or so I would like to believe… The day started with breakfast (I was too sleepy), then a light cleanse (NO! I don’t like), puja at home (pairee pauna paapaa) , then a visit to the temple (no photos and videos papa, only in restaurant in the evening), and then …
दीप्यते दीपयति वा स्वं परं चेति that which is light and enlightens others is known as Deepa… Tomorrow is Keshav’s janma tithi, that time of the year when the celestial ingredients are the same as when you were born, your own personal set of inputs that led to the miracle that is you. We all are born …

The weekend descended and so did the quest for the ideal venue for the (not so) little one’s birthday party. Gone are the days when kids were satisfied with the “Baar Baar yeh din aye” kind of celebrations with party hats and cakes and adults having most of the samosas and the fun. No sir …
Jealousy is a common human trait. We would have to admit that we have been jealous or envious of someone at some stage of our lives. It may be as silly as a car, to bigger things such as someone having your dream job, or a much better pay package, a bigger house, a better …
A good first day. Began with yoga, then a nice breakfast, reading, walks with family in the community, digging dinosaur fossils, child not sleeping, visited a friend’s house, child threw tantrums on the way back, and now onto the first blog of 2026. Managed to read a lot as well. Started this new book – …
Around eight hours to go. This time around, the community management has thankfully not organized a year-end party, well, right outside my house. So I can decide if this will be a long night, or not. How was 2025? Well, fast, for one. Business-wise, we did great, more than doubled our team, lots of new …
Keshav has his daily pick. One toy, one piece of stuff – can be anything from a spoon to his car. This thing then becomes his obsession of the day, so much so that he carries it with him everywhere, his food table, his school, he even sleeps with it in his hand. And he …

We visited the recently renovated Dino Park and Glow Garden yesterday. The traffic was horrendous, but the visit was worth it. They have now added more ‘active’ Dinos that the kids absolutely love – they shout and scream and finally get around to touch the monsters, realizing that well, they are not the real deal. …
