One of the main reasons why I am so big on feminism and empowering women is because growing up, I had to hear things like “don’t be conspicuous”, “girls should be soft-spoken” etc. Don’t get me wrong. I have the most liberal parents. My parents gave both my sister & me world-class education in Singapore, […]

Dear Zindagi, As I sit by my window sipping a cup of coffee, I realise that we haven’t spoken in a while. And that I haven’t thanked you enough for being so handsome and crazy in the last 20 odd years that I’ve known you. Your selfless love (and sometime obnoxious behaviour) has made me […]

So, I came across this image on Instagram – it’s a break up letter or rather a little girl’s (possibly 9/10 years old) ‘Brake Up’ note to her boyfriend (ex bf) Shawn. Check it out – It’s adorable and hilarious! Do you think this offers a serious dose of real talk? View this post on Instagram […]

Last night while I was clearing my old books, I chanced upon a few forlorn diaries that belonged to a much younger me. It was a strange feeling to revisit myself once again through these worn-out pages. I guess writing diaries was fascinating because to me, confiding in people did not quite allow me to really share it all. A few […]

“Time is running out! If you do not get married NOW, you’ll be left alone with black cats, childless with no sex partner and eventually die an old maid in an isolated house”. The nominal trepidations that have peeved my poor ears lately! As a kid, I think most of us fantasized about what we’d […]

I remember reading an article from Bombay Times last December where writer Salim Khan commented: “Success has destroyed more people than failure”. Are there truly some side-effects of fame, stardom and success? (Anushka Sharma before RNBDJ) It’s no small achievement to share screen space with an actor of the calibre of SRK in your very […]
