I may not have married “The right” guy. But I surely dodged several bullets in pursuit of what I thought at that time was the right guy. After ages of not making the so-called right choices and being utterly stupid with relationships, the whole arranged marriage undertaking was a comedy of errors. Since I’m takingContinue reading “Marrying The Wrong Guy”

No kids?
Here comes the first installment of my Hyderabad diaries. A place where the odors of biryani are at every nook, multi-cultural festivities, and, of course, everyone loves getting involved in private matters. It’s an absolute business to those of my parents’ generation and many more around mine. While I hate being disrespectful, I have comeContinue reading “No kids?”
My Hyderabad Journal – The Origination.
I had not visited India in two decades when I decided to visit twice the last two years. There are reasons unknown to many, partially to a few, and in entirety to just me.

HOA Presidency – A comical perspective
Being an HOA (Homeowners Association) Board President has been the most challenging vounteer role for me, but it also offered lessons. Here is my take on the comical aspects.

A Hard Choice – Reputation or Character?
My parents and I were always very clear on the characteristic difference between reputation and character. Despite their advanced age, they never stopped supporting, coaching, and reprimanding me as necessary. There would be many disagreements, but never was I snubbed or deprived of opinion. Nor was I ever not given a seat at the table.Continue reading “A Hard Choice – Reputation or Character?”
I chose to be me!
I read somewhere that the girls who had the messiest time growing up are now healing the planet. And, I celebrate the unexpected goodness that came out of that trauma.

Many times there are not enough hours in a day for self-love or to invest in personal development. And, in times where we are surrounded by toxicity (positive and negative), or are reacting toContinue reading “This past weekend!”

When I first became a manager I had an insatiable urge to be liked by everyone. I was a “Yes” person and struggled to integrate the morale of my teams with the “results oriented” demand. The workplace was becoming hard to manage and I felt like a disaster. My manager then (and now), and mentorsContinue reading “From Disaster to Power”
