The Rearview Mirror

Ambition! Dreams! Friends! What would life be without them? I am one such ambitious person. I have so much ambition and so much creativity, there never seems to be an end to the good things I could do. I go into cycles of project after project and as I go on and on, I realise I am overwhelmed at the end of it. My life is fragmented into too many good things. My attention is required in all areas equally and I always end up doing more than I can probably handle. And then I pause, take a break and that is a Road Trip. Just hit the road and unwind and feel the air on my face as all my worries fade away.


This thought of a blog on road trips had been on my mind for the past year. Having done hundreds of road trips and traveled thousands of kilometers by car, I find it to be the most satisfying experience. My husband Chao and me would hit the road at every given opportunity. Those moments of silence in the car, the music blaring sometimes, a quiet nap while one of us drives, asking for directions, exploring hotels, tasting food in little towns - so many memories and so many more to create.


This blog will be my contribution for all of us out there who love to drive and do road trips often. We are the carefree wanderers who love to live life on the edge whilst our life passes by in the Rearview Mirror!!!

Grief! Losing your love!

Blogging - don't know if I'm a good writer or not, but going to not bother about that. Just going to let my emotions flow freely. So here goes: In July 2016 unexpectedly and suddenly without any warning, my darling, my husband of 15 years, my best friend, mentor, love, my Sonu left me alone in this world. Just like that my whole world collapsed right in front of my eyes. Saw him go in front of me without any warning, in 10 minutes - massive heart attack and cardiac arrest - gone in the wind! Cant forget that look we exchanged in those few minutes. I couldn't say - I love you Chao! I love you very much and you are my whole world. Yeah I've said it to him so many times and that gives me some strength that he went from this world knowing that he was loved a lot. I hope he felt like that cause he was  (correction) he is my entire world. Nothing else mattered to us. We lived in our own small world filled with love, happiness, friendship and nothing bothered us. We didn...

Yoga - Why is it a Way of Life?

In my short life (don't know if I should call it short or long), I have learnt many lessons just as each one of us does. When we are born we do things as our parents teach us. Then school takes over. We follow the advice of our teachers. Study, read, play. Brick by brick we build our lives and become what we are. Then adolescence and education followed by college and then the never stopping grind of jobs. Life goes on! I was brought up much the same way just like anyone else. But my foundation was very very strong. I can say that today cause I follow the same values that I was taught growing up. They have not only shaped me to be the person I am but have helped me overcome problems all my life. One of them is YOGA! We used to live in Lokhandwala Complex Andheri and I was introduced to yoga very early as some classes were started in the garden and many people started visiting the garden early morning for these yoga sessions. I was 16 then and I just loved to practice yo...

Nirbhaya!

Got up this morning with this uneasiness! It was around, 4:00AM, when I was woken up by a, I believe was a car horn blaring non-stop (as if someone kept they hand on the car horn and didn't let go). It lasted till about a little past 5:00AM. Tried to sleep for some time and then again woke up. Picked up today's newspaper - filled with rage and anguish of the public about Nirbhaya's death. I didnt understand what to feel - shame, anger, pity - for these people who today have all come together as a girl was brutally raped and then died! What had happened when so many other cases of molesting, rape, incest, domestic violence, female infanticide came up and nobody did a thing? I laughed at this thought that all this outrage is in the moment - for 1-2 days or maybe a week at best. After that we all go back to our regular lives, gossip about this over a cup of tea, show pity for the family, show anger against the men who committed this heinous crime and then comfortably forget a...
