As far as I can remember I have always been a spiritual person, trying to unravel the mystery of our existence, learning about and making connections between religions, and whole-heartedly believing that when you do good, good things follow. However it wasn’t until after Vishnu’s birth that I started delving deep into theories about our connection to the universe, dreams, Read More …
To commemorate reaching 8K followers, I thought I’d hop onto the #10thingsaboutme bandwagon. Here are 10 things you probably didn’t know about me: 1. I’m an introvert, but that’s probably quite obvious. 2. I believe in karma and reincarnation. I believe positivity attracts positive outcomes. I also believe that if you keep your front entrance disorganized you invite in chaos. Read More …
Over the Easter long weekend, we took a trip downtown to check out the Allan Gardens Conservatory. The Allan Gardens Conservatory consists of six greenhouses which house tropical plants, plants from Australia and the Mediterranean, palms and seasonal plants, and cacti. The conservatory is a great escape from the city, cleverly located in the heart of the city. There is Read More …
My pen scribbles across paper under moonlight, careful not to wake the babe sleeping beside me. It’s one of those nights where emotions gradually consume me. I write when I’m feeling raw, angry, and unapologetic, and in need of an outlet. Writing is healing. Writing is cleansing. And really my only option to address the wounds plaguing my mind.

There are so many hidden gems within our city which serve as great opportunities to learn some history or culture. During the March Break we a made a trip to the St. Lawrence Market, where we spent time Read More …
Akshaya turned eight this past December, but this time I decided to hold off our annual celebration until January of this year. Every December, I get overwhelmed with all that goes on during that month and having to organize and host a birthday party has always added to that stress. I was extremely happy with this decision and I couldn’t Read More …
After some very meaningful conversations with my readers last night, I was inspired to write this. I wrote it in one shot, in the middle of the night. It is raw and unedited from start to finish, just like my thoughts, and that is exactly how I want it to remain. I am a mother, a woman; a human. I’m Read More …
My daughter was supposedly due in January of 2011; well past the holiday season. Akshaya surprised all of us when she appeared Earthside almost five weeks early in the midst of the busy holiday season and a snowstorm. Every snowstorm in December, every Christmas tree, and every warm and happy feeling associated with the holiday season reminds me of my Read More …
Last holiday season, Akshaya had casually mentioned that she would like to decorate her shared bedroom for the holidays. Obviously I though it was a wonderful idea but due to the lack of time, we didn’t do much. However, I kept my eye out for the Pottery Barn Kids holiday clearance sale so that I could purchase bedding for a Read More …
