I am an ambitious woman of courage

Image
I like to be a career woman and I think it’s a part of my identity. I have excelled very well from the beginning of my career. The praise, appreciations, rewards and quick promotions were all the visible impressions of that.  But off-lately I faced so many work related issues which seemed to affect my confidence and I found myself veered away from my goals. And when crisis rang the bell, I remained sulk.  But the spunk within me was never ready to let it go. I have decided to have confidence in myself. I have to make my own prudent decisions, and be articulate, sensible and stay with them. There are so many times a working mom feels guilty or is made to feel guilty (sometimes by your own dear ones) when she has to leave her child with someone else as she heads for work. Being financially independent is the greatest feeling of empowerment that a woman can feel, blaming her for choosing her career over her child is baseless. If she can juggle her work and home bet...

Some morning adventures

7:15 AM : There was this slow agonizing moan from my lo and he curls up towards me to quench his thirst.I love these tiny snuggles. 8:05 AM : Woke up,straight to the kitchen where Baby auntie was making chappatis for the day(Baby auntie just cooks Chappati for us, vegetables are cooked in our preferred kerala style) 8:10 AM : Chit chat with Baby auntie, and I had my glass of luke warm water. 8:30 AM: I started chopping the cabbage to make our side dish with chappati for breakfast. Onion,Cabbage,Carrot and green chilies(all finely chopped )sauteed in oil topped with lots of grated coconut(We malayalees favor a dab of coconut in almost all our dishes) 9:15 AM : Heard my LO whimper. He is up early today than his usual 10 AM timing as his PAPA took him off the bed to comfort him. 9:30 AM : MIL fed him his formula and he started walking in our living room carefully holding to the chair and sofas. I had a quick bath 9:40 AM : I am out of the bathroom and got into a scuffle w...

PINK THE MOVIE .... When a girl says NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Image
PINK is a real brave bollywood movie that brings out one of the most pressing issues of our country. The movie rebukes the Indian mindset of treating the boys and girls differently and  definitely brings a new and corrected perception to the modern Independent Indian girls . And it clearly imposes the fact when a girl says NO,it’s a clear NO. You cannot force yourself on her without her consent, no matter she is a virgin or not. It’s her right to decide on her desirability and sensuality. Advocate Deepak Sehgal played by Mr.Bachchan brings out and challenges some rules that the society entrust on an Independent Single girl.(As per our society,All these makes her a slut or a whore.) She shouldn’t laugh and cheerfully talk to a friend.  She shouldn’t party or  have drinks with her friends.  She shouldn’t bring boys to their homes even if  they are just friends.  She shouldn’t wear jeans,t-shirts or skirts.  She shouldn’t  come home...

Why did I start this blog ???????

I am a blogger now  and indeed what made me be one?? On a day ,I ruminate a lot most of which are irrelevant or peripheral .I have been contemplating (since a year or more )about scribbling down some of my creative thoughts(?? do I really muse anything creative ) so that someone could read it and opine about and enhance my creative writing skill . So after much procrastination I decided to start a blog  :) .And here are some of the reasons I believe is the intent behind the task(Almost all are purely selfish goals :P ) To be a better writer  :  I am an amateur writer. In fact as of now ,I suck at writing. And they say, Practice makes everything perfect. So this is my new playground, I would frolic with blogging here ,hoping it improve my writing proficiency. Learn more, Think creative, Speak confidently  :  A good blog would definitely require me to write on something interesting. We randomly read a lot, but we forget what it was over a few d...
