say it with flowers.

Doing up our room has been fun and I have realized that on days when tired and blah-ed out, all it takes to make your room look new, vibrant, exciting and alive is fresh flowers. i highly recommend lillies which are avaible at the Park Towers flower shop at Rs.225 a stem, and kept well, [...]

sisters and sehris- the best combination ever.

reminders

there’s something about watching the wedding home videos that`can really resolve issues that arise between me and k at home. they bring back so much of what was happening only in my head…which no amount of words could do justice to. so many feelings that were poignant and pertinent at only that time. of wondering [...]

For the fifth time, how are you today…?

i have realized i have to fight the urge to call my mom, dad, the poogle, lil jam and k several times a day these days, just see if everything is ok. it’s a scary on-the-edge kind of a thing to do…and im praying hard, hoping i don’t sound panicky and insane to them.

days of the full house…

Sehri time at my mom’s house (note it’s not my house anymore) has always been a mad affair.

We (used to) laugh like maniacs at everything possible usually prompting silent tears [...]
