When the kids were in elementary school, we spent a lot of weekends going out to the Pacific Science center in Seattle or generally to other places. We did something or the other every weekend. They did not have any classes to attend on the weekend, no home works to worry about and in general…

Birthday Post
This week we celebrated Sarath’s 17th birthday. As hard as it is to believe that he is 17, I am very happy to see the young man he is growing into. He is compassionate, kind and smart. The transformation he has made from middle school to now has been amazing. He is emotionally mature now…
Conversations
Last weekend I applied a hair dye on my hair. The one I usually use was not available and I bought another one to try. I just did not like it at all. While I was waiting for it to dry, I was doing some stuff around the kitchen and was talking to Sarath. I…
Having it All!
Happy New Year!! My mom was a working woman who managed to balance it all beautifully. She has always been my role model. But, when I am trying to do it all and have it all, it feels so much more difficult. She made it look so easy even though I know it was not…

Out of Hibernation
I feel like I can breathe again. It has been hectic since January. Even though I was happy that work was keeping me busy, it also hit me hard that working as a freelancer is no piece of cake. All the stress of work and home are finally getting to me and I feel more…
Dear amma,
I never thanked you for all the wonderful things you taught me. I never appreciated everything you did for me until I moved out and started earning on my own. I never thought that being a mom is so rewarding and terrifying all at the same time until I became a mom. I don’t think…
Birthday Celebrations
Originally, I wasn’t going to write a post about my birthday. But, now I feel like I should document this day. Today, as usual I woke up earlier than everybody. I went down to enjoy my morning cup of tea. I called my parents and talked with them for over an hour. Then, I talked…
