No matter how old we grow, how mature we get, how many greys we have in our hair, there is small kid inside us who needs attention, care, love and pampering. I would go much further to declare that we, adults, need it more often, more badly than kids. Kids have a different world….

My experiment with double strand crocheting – day#1
I’m addicted to crocheting. I wish I could crochet for a living. No 9-to-5 job. Freedom of when to start, to work or not and seeing a (semi) beautiful project come along. Yes I’ll only be working on wearable for some more time before trying out jewellery etc. For simple reason that winter is around…
Perpetually Tentative
Tentative, this is exactly what our lives are. Don’t get me wrong. We all love to plan, down the most granular level item. We plan. Although, our planning has also become tentative.

My new-found Passion
So what keeps me busy after work. Of late, I have been hooked to the crochet hook, quite literally. It started when my younger sister brought a tiny bundle 25g of cotton yarn and a #13 hook and started to do her experiments with crocheting. She asked me for help when she was stuck. It…
What is that place?
Sometimes, my dreams are of repetitive nature, or belonging to a theme. Some of the most recurring themes are – Somebody chasing me, like a hollywood style chase. It starts on foot, on the ground then on the balconies, staircases, jumping over fences and roofs. Flying in the sky: Yeah, that’s right. I see something…
Dejavu – Work Anniversary
My first post on wordpress was two years back, and then I forgot all about it, and now it is 2017. Phew. 5 years ago, a chilling Monday morning of 23rd January 2012, I had joined this company as a senior software engineer. I experienced mixed feelings. Some nervousness of joining formalities, a lot of butterflies in the…
