Finding refuge. My head-heart-hand centred in my Qalam- a dip in the inkpot, take a deep breath, and then a dance on the page…The moving finger writes, and having writ, moves on…within the boundaries of Today. In this meditation-in-movement, I find solace...

Come corona and there seems to be social distancing between Life…..Style! Life is lived In-Home, and Style stated Out-of-Home. Locked in home, who cares about style. After, all nobody is looking at me. Keep comfort and carry on…After all, the Style...

Come corona and the pace of the 24×7 day suddenly changed……like a racing car turned into a bullock cart! WFM ( work from/for home) minus the ‘maids-of india….corona, unwittingly, kickstarted the new skill-building program. DIY, youtube...

Come Corona and the so-called ‘Great Expectations’ did a somersault! Where they were all set- to reach out for the stars, looking up above the stars so bright, like the diamond in the sky….. And suddenly, it all went haywire, as if the E-software got...
