Every test in life teaches and enriches us with new experiences. The current lock down is no different. It has brought with it; its own set of challenges and I share today the trials and tribulations that we went through as educators. 😀The single most important thing for a teacher is ‘portion completion.’ Every teacher…
A Mini Story
Sometimes I pen poems too!
The woman in the train
The spirit of a city lies in its people. So, if Benaras identifies with its ghats and Hyderabad with its bazaars, the city of Mumbai takes pride in its locals. The local trains of Mumbai are not only its lifeline but also its spirit. They carry millions of people who commute daily from their homes…
The Magic Cup
We Indians are primarily tea drinkers. Our Darjeeling Tea is GI tagged and most of the tea drinking populace has not tasted it. My family is no exception and they all are die hard tea drinkers except my grandparents, who drank coffee.I remember my grandfather telling me once that he and my granny too were…

No matter how tired a woman feels, she always has energy for her family, her friends, her people. She will walk that extra mile…
Beautiful Woman
Maya Angelou is a prolific writer and I’ve taught some of her poems to my student’s while elaborating on poetic devices. Her ‘Phenomenal Woman’ is one poem that has impressed many from all around but I have a slightly different take on this one. Think today is the right day to share it. This one…
A Wish
