Rediscovering my childhood
First published on Medium You might not know my village at all and that might be a good thing. We dont have too many tourists visiting us and that is probably the best thing about the ‘gaon’ that was a large part of my childhood and now a safe haven for me as the world is dealing with corona. I can be oblivious to the terrors the world is dealing with , so long as i am ensconed by the hometown…

Waterfalls and gathering experiences
Waterfalls and gathering experiences
Throwback to the time I stood at the mouth of a waterfall and realised that it starts as a small trickle – compared to what it become downstream. An excellent parallel of how we become in life – gathering experiences, gathering learning, friends, well wishers, overcoming obstacles to become the person that we are meant to be. The mouth of the waterfall – Meghalaya

The kindness of strangers, the beauty of flowers
These flowers brightened my day. And hope they add some light to yours too!...This apart from this lovely story which i posted earlier on my timeline about Rozy Saldanha who gave up her oxygen cylinder for those in need and bought some more with her gold, gave me hope that this wave will pass too and we will come out victorious because of the kindness of strangers, the love that we have for each…

Vaccines, grit and Areca nuts
Got the mother her first vaccine shot. No side effects. Am glad that she has strong genes (hopefully me too) and has no fear ( something I need to still imbibe). Also began something new which I want to keep doing before I even tell myself that am doing it. Yes also this is something I have been trying to do for ages and never been consistent. So shhh that’s it! Clicked is a pics of the boy…

Rising Again on Easter
Finally getting into the drivers seat and not just behind the wheel of the car. Maybe Easter helped, or maybe the drive with just Josephine Goveas and Aiden helped. Or maybe Keya’s prayers helped or maybe one good go ahead from Sajedah did.A great Easter meal with family today prepared by Moline DSouza and some very interesting conversations with Archibald S D Souza Clement Dsouza Hilda Fernandes…

Easter Vigil, those that matter, exams and good food
Renewing baptism vows today while listening to the Archbishop of Bombay online felt rather normal this year as compared to last.Infact it felt convenient, one could concentrate on prayer with only people that mattered for company. Bringing me to the realisation that the people who really mattered are those who stay in touch, through thick and thin and even through a pandemic. Must be grateful…

Finding what moves me
Continuing to find what moves me. I know what it is but the constant reminder that you are a sole provider can be daunting when you want to follow your heart – trying to move towards what you actually want to do. Oscillating between the heart and mind every single day ain’t easy. But must be grateful for Meera Warrier who always listens and tells what I need to hear, as it is. I love you…

H - Happiness in the little things
H – Happiness in the little things
It takes very little for me to be happy. And in the lockdown days you notice even the littlest things make you happy.
My 5 happy times thus far this lockdown:
The fact that i did not repeat a dish to feed my 7 year old and he didn’t complain because every meal was new
The day got fish! I got fish after a month of trying to order and cajole my fisherwoman to get me some
The day my order of…

G - Gratitude
G – Gratitude
Being grateful doesn’t come easy to most humans – complaining comes fast and easy. It’s easier to compare our lives with those better placed than us – or so we think.
And in times of troubles like those we are now, adopting a sense of gratitude isn’t easy. But with a bit of practice this is something we all can do – no matter who we are.
We need to get up each morning remembering three…

F – Friends and Family
They say in the worst of times you know who your real friends are. And if you have family like friends and friends like family you are truly blessed.
In times of isolation you really can identify them – from a place where to meet new faces everyday in a normal everyday world to a Covid world where you are staying home 24×7 – you can literally count your friends on your fingers.
You’d be…

E – for Easter
Easter isn’t as big a deal in my family like Christmas is. Christmas is my sister’s birthday, holidays, get together with families, big lunches and siestas, Christmas carols and generally a lot of fun.
Easter hasn’t been this eventful in years.
Easter during times of Covid. Wow, Who would have thought that you wanted to go for the Easter vigil mass, pick up hot cross buns for Maundy…

With my favourite dance partner
This year I promised myself I would dance a lot more till coronavirus threw a spanner in the works..
My love for dancing and my earliest memories of dance was when I danced with my Papa – when I was barely four years old. He would carry me and dance the waltz
I never really danced much through my life except for a few stage programmes in school.

C – Cooking
I was supposed to write this blog yesterday but I had so much to catch up with… I just dropped off not writing and had little mind space to figure what to write about too!
So I got down to cooking today and that’s what I realised I could writing about. C for cooking!
These times of self isolation pushed me to my limits on everything including cooking. I surprise myself everyday because I…

B – Breakfasts are important
In the rush to work everyday most of us skip breakfasts. I did that me too. This year i made a resolution that come what may i will have a good breakfast before i leave for work or carry to to work.
I stocked up on cold meats, breads, ready to eat meals, wheat flour, eggs, oats, coriander… And this small change made a world of a difference to me during these covid days.
I had all i needed…

A – Anxiety
It’s funny I should start a positive 25 day challenge with a one feeling that many of us are feeling these days.
Anxiety about the unknown and a future that is uncertain in these trying times.
An anxiety of being alone and not in touch with the world – a feeling of FOMO in more ways than one.
But would you probably consider this to be a positive feeling? Obviously not considering it…

#Covid19 days and nights
Of all the various things that i documented on the blog, this time needs special mention. In a world that is constantly chasing dreams, running too fast, devastating everything along the way, Covid19 could be a breath of (fresh?) air to make us all slow down and savour the little things in life.
We stay indoors to not protect ourselves but our parents and elders who have probably fought…

Tiger’s Nest,Paro, Bhutan: a trek I will never forget
Bhutan always appealed to me as this land full of magic and mystery ever since my childhood. In fact the history books had very little about it and geography just described its location and topography as a country nestled in the Himalayas. I am always attracted to mountains and it was…
