Gratitude....
Gratitude….
I don’t think anyone saw what 2020 has brought…. while on the one hand we see grief, illness, cyclones, locust attacks and no many deaths and the downturn of the economy if you see from where I am…. I see families spending time together, world learning new skills, making do with what we have and finding happiness in small joys.
I went grocery shopping right under my building and that is my…

The twin force and the unarmed mother – we are truly Indian
The twin force and the unarmed mother – we are truly Indian
At home as take “being secular” to another level, thanks to my daughter who is in every way a true Indian. Not like we are not, but she likes to translate that into actions and hence this month we have been busy researching and celebrating each and every festival right from independence day, to Parsi new year to Eid and finally Raksha Bandhan. Thanks to You Tube (yes all credit goes to them) and…

The twin force and the unarmed mother – Opening the Pandora’s box.
The twin force and the unarmed mother – Opening the Pandora’s box.
What do you do when they ask a question you have no answer to? And when something, which was insignificant, becomes super significant. Needless to say the twins are at it again but this time with some serious questions… just to give you a taste of what I am going through – why do we have to take on our fathers name and not our mothers? (just to remind you they are all of 5 years old) and on a…

The twin force and the unarmed mother – realization we are twins…
The twin force and the unarmed mother – realization we are twins…
Today is a day that should go down in history the twins have finally figured they are “Twins”. But most importantly they have graciously accepted it. The fight on why one is older than the other (mind you the time difference is not more then a minute) had always continued to be a sour point and today is the historic day when thanks to Lallan Taap (yes that’s the name of a show on TV) they have…

The twin force and the unarmed mother – The play date
My fun blog on parenting and raising twins..a must read for all parents and for all who have a child within us.
My humble attempt to give the twins a Disney theme play date, and how they successfully took the mickey out of me…
A quite morning me calmly sipping tea .. a rarity in my home of twins….my son walks out still sleepy cuddles up and gives me a tight hug… my heart melts and I hug him tighter… he then whispers, “mama kiss me” I hug him tight and kiss him on both his cheeks… thinking to myself… wow…

The twin force and the unarmed mother – The Punishment
modern age parenting where kids are the masters.
This blog is my humble attempt at trying to write funny on an extremely serious issue – parenting, on the insistence of a dear friend who came visiting.
I need help. Serious help. The super power twin forces are attacking me and I am the unarmed mother trying to defend myself fast exhausting my ammunition. The toddlers turned four and I was told with age maturity comes in. All I see is…

Bapu in pink but does not know how to change back.
my blog that talks about the poor execution of a noble cause... the chaos that continues to affect the common man.
I challenge Mr Jaitely to come vegetable shopping with my new pinky note and me and explain how I can get change?
I request Mr Modi to explain to me how does one go to a medical shop and buy a simple strip of crocin if one does not have plastic?
I want to know from the stakeholders how do the elderly and uneducated and the smaller towns and villages get their hard earned money exchanged…

While most of America was counting the votes, the whole of India was counting notes and that too ones that were scrapped. Modi played a masterstroke and trended more that the soon to be “most powerful man in the world”.
America is strange. Americans even stranger. The stories that one is hearing is most Americans are upset, Canadian immigration site crashed after Trump was declared the new president, protest marches etc… what I fail to understand is guys you were the ones that voted for your President, so why the anger and disappointment??
On the contrary Indians are calmer on having been hit by the end of black money era. So what’s with these Americans?
Let me give you 5 reasons why people are shocked with Trump’s victory –
Reason 1 – Media and its completely wrong Analysis.
Media analysis was far removed from reality. Negative publicity worked for Trump and actually made him popular. His jokes, statements and media poking fun made him the under dog which worked in his favor.
Reason 2 – Wrong data analysis
Data on voters and predictions by analyst was done by Hillary and Trump both. But ultimately the lady with the experience could not analyze it as well as a smart billionaire did. His targeted visits and speeches to what people wanted to hear and talking of sentiments and issues that concerned the common man made him the winner. More that that his total spends on the campaign is half of Hillary’s which shows smart and targeted planning. He is not just clever but also a good strategist hence today he is the man with the nuclear codes.
Reason 3 – Over confidence
This one is always the major one for any downfall. Approximately 46.9% of the Americans did not vote and this included most democrats. Need one say more?
Reason 4 – Trump is grey
We all have shades of Grey. Trump evoked that in people even more. Many wives, bold remarks, sexiest statements and aspirational lifestyle actually made him more desirable and worked for him. It made him more real.
Reason 5 – America is still conservative and orthodox
Americans can keep claiming to be forward thinking and progressive; reality is they are as backward and sexist in their approach as our daily soaps. They cannot accept a woman president. Sad but true… Hillary had the support of two Presidents – Obama and Bill Clinton advising her and she till lost the race. While Trump with his larger than life image has walked away with the booty.
In the end Trump blowed his own trumpet and that worked for him. Plus the slogan which are own Modiji gave will now be used by every leader who runs to win…”ab ke baar Trump sarkar”
Donald is not just a duck and the Trumpets are blowing. While most of America was counting the votes, the whole of India was counting notes and that too ones that were scrapped.

Modak's and more...
The festive season has began in India... Time for the food, fashion, decor and jewellers to boom...there will be beautiful lights and decor in people's homes and roads.. So you admire them there will also be traffic jams.. So that you feel you are part of the festivities will be loud music way beyond the deadline. Food industry especially the mithai shops will do roaring business... Just yesterday for ganpathi there was a near stampede and me caught in one, to bag a few modak's (traditional Indian sweet offered to Lord Ganesha) Looking at the people I just thought how much of this mithai will be consumed.. And how long will it take for the calories to burn.. There lies a big opportunity for fitness experts and gym owners to step in and make there business grow... All you gym owners pray mithai shops always do great business.. Enjoy the festivities but eat carefully.. In the end you don't want to look like a modak yourself...
