We hear about this big picture theory a lot but how do we know when to apply it? How to know when I am ready to see it and most importantly, how do I see it? It might come to you when you are least expecting it.
Clarity!
On Sunday, while returning from a very wet trek, I was sharing my flight schedule with my kids for the coming week and planning theirs. Learning on the job is parenting! Flights have been so few and far between that they have got used to me being around a lot. I like to prepare everything … Continue reading Clarity!

Something like that happened yesterday and I wanted to share that with you. This new house we now live in was … Continue reading Nesting!
Calmness Under Chaos!
Photo by Ave Calvar Martinez on Pexels.com Yesterday, there was an extraordinary amount of traffic on the road in Mumbai. Classic evening office rush only worsened by classic Mumbai rains.

Loyalty For Royalty!
I work for the "Maharaja of the skies", as Air India is so lovingly known by its affable mascot, the ever graceful Maharaja. I recently completed 20 years of service with the airline. It is quite a milestone, especially in the fast paced start-up age we now live in. Wishes and affection poured in through … Continue reading Loyalty For Royalty!
