Most writers write in tandem to their lives, in tandem to their experiences, but good writers create. They create magic on paper, magic in tales, with fiction or fact – the script, unique… the play of words, smooth and textured like cream on crusty bread. Like cream and berries always a soft burst of light […]
Undoubtedly, we all don masks, a social veil that permits us to form, forge and live in the real world. There is not a person alive, born or breathing that doesn’t wear it. We have one face for the world and another that often hides behind it. Relationships these days seem to be increasingly conditional. […]
It’s interesting how most assume the idea that the New Year ushers in a spirit of complete newness, heralding in some kind of rebirth or renewal, springing forth from a brand-new day. I certainly do not want to be a killjoy, but it’s not like the world suddenly gets a complete Do Over! It’s not […]
Grief is a loaded word. When you’re dealing with the loss of something irreplaceable, you feel shattered as you’re left picking up the pieces. Grief is animate, it visits at random – you can’t schedule it. If you try to walk away from it, it simply waits for you. It clings to all the parts […]

Being a mother is about playing the pivotal […]
Sometimes you just need to walk away. Walk away from those selfish, self-engrossed individuals whose toxicity drains your aura. Walk away from people who do not consider your needs, wants or well-being. Walk away from individuals whose beliefs and opinions do not align with yours. Walk away not to teach them a lesson, but because […]

Ironically, we tend to focus a lot more on our physical wellbeing and health, often neglecting simple habits that can enhance neurological and cerebral health.

Navroze is special for us all, but especially for that thread of our community that believes in boisterous fun and loud living – our fabulous Irani brethren. Within them, we have the Yazdegardis, the Jamshidi, the Esfahani and many more. They truly are a breed (and bred) apart – with deep Aryan roots and rich […]
