    A Tribute to The Forgotten Teachers: Grandparents

    September 25, 2021 - By 

    Growing up, was easy as we were lucky to have grandparents. When I was young, I used to think learning must be the most dreadful activity one could do. As a young girl, I wanted nothing more than to play games and watch television. But, as much as I hated learning and anything to do with school, there were some teachers who would make me look forward to their classes every single day. Their passion for passing down their knowledge was prominent in each class they took. In my opinion, to be a teacher is one of the most noble…

    A Tiny Best Friend

    September 6, 2021 - By 

    A Tiny Best Friend: It seemed like 17th July 2021 would be like any other day, when I had gone to visit my grandmother’s house. But, upon arriving, I was introduced to two tiny creatures. My aunt had found these two kittens, soaked in the rain, and without any sustenance. One of these two screaming banshees was to be under my care, and who is now a primary source of my happiness. He was too tiny for his age, filled with fleas and other health issues. But, he had the most beautiful eyes, that were blue like a starless midnight…

    The Overlooked Disadvantages of Being Sibling-Free

    August 21, 2021 - By 

    The Overlooked Disadvantages of Being Sibling-Free: There is a reason why people tend to ask those who are stubborn or a bit self-centred if they are an only child. We do have it easy in many ways. Some of the positives eventually take a backseat with age. Whether it is the constant reminder that you are the sole caretaker of your parents or how much every single decision you make will affect their futures heavily, it can get a bit overwhelming. Then there are the overlooked disadvantages, which come at the cost of the perks you get from having no…

    A slice of ovaltine

    June 7, 2016 - By 

    [ A slice of ovaltine ] I have realized, I can’t live without cake. I thrive on cake, be it baking or eating it. I am addicted to the warm smell of freshly baked cake. I started baking because I love to eat cake. Now, as it is my business, i get to eat less and bake more. However, if I am not doing orders for few days, I suffer from cakelessness and bake to boost my mood. In office my afternoon snack is a cup of milk tea with Star Bakery’s vanilla loaf cake. It makes a delicious afternoon…

    Fairy-tale Anniversary

    November 25, 2015 - By 

    [ Fairy-tale Anniversary ] Today is my parents’ 39th wedding anniversary. I have been thinking a lot how to make their day memorable. My brother and I have been planning from small forest gate away to boat rides, dinner to family photo sessions and so many other things. We are still planning on the mode of celebration but just to make the day special I made my parents a fairy tale wedding cake and their favorite almond cookies. I paired it with a bouquet of flowers, something I know my picky father will love. When they got married no one…

    Peace, love and happiness

    October 5, 2015 - By 

    [ Peace, love and happiness] I may not be a very religious person but I am a spiritual person. I prefer to meditate, do yoga and have small rituals that helps my mind to be calm and feel peaceful inside and out. Spirituality is not a belief but it is a lifestyle. We have to liberate our mind and be aware of all the happenings around us. Spirituality is our inner voice, it helps us to see through things better.  I live in a small apartment and it is not possible for me to have a room to myself for…
