Cherokee Diary

What draws me to a place are its people and their lore. Scenic beauty- the rolling hills, cascading waters and the fresh mountain air are but the icing on the cake; what makes up the rich layers underneath are the stories.

Poornam – Complete

I could hear the words reverberating in my core. Poornam stands for \”Complete\” or \”Whole\” in Sanskrit.

When Diwali Met Halloween

When Diwali met Halloween – Two important festivals with completely contrasting rituals. An Indo-American mother\’s quest for meaning.

The Gift

There always came a time in the frenzied activity around the planning for the perfect getaway or a perfect get together, the perfect holiday family picture, buying the right gifts for the right people, putting up the lights and tree and doing our bit for charity when I had had enough.

The Bombay in Me

A beautiful, bustling metropolis by the sea known for its Bond like attitude of “never say never”. A city that never sleeps, whose gates are thronged by millions of dreamers who believe this city is the Mecca of their dreams.

Diwali

The Festival of Lights. The light being symbolic of the divinity within each of us.
