A Demanding Gift Receiver Speaks #UnwrapChristmas
If I had written this post two days back, I would have come up with a selfless list of things to do on Christmas, but something changed in the last two days. Before you start imagining too many dramatic things, I must mention that nothing big happened. It’s just in the last two days, I…
Book Review: It’s Not Fair – Learning to Love the Life You Didn’t Choose By Melanie Dale
First, I would like to start by saying that It’s Not Fair – Learning to Love the Life You Didn’t Choose is not a book. It is a conversation between Melanie Dale and her readers. Mel (I hope the author would not mind me mentioning her as Mel — I’m sorry if she does but by reading…

Could Life be a Fairy Tale? #FridayReflections
As far back as I can remember, I have been a fan of fairy tales. Cinderella, Beauty and The Beast, Snow White, Aladdin, and others have captured my mind, and they continue to do so. Some might find it odd that a girl in her late twenties could still be attached to the fairy tales,…
