In this world of glitz and glamour, we dwell amidst superfluity, pretense and false facades. You either go with the flow and join the gang or stand on your own in solitary confinement. Much of what you see and hear around you these days is mainly through the grapevine. Social media has become the single […]
Our children – our pride, our joy. Spend time with children and they teach you. They inadvertently make you realize how foolishly we lead lives as adults. Children – fascinating creatures indeed… little balls of infectious jovialness, naivety, innocence and mischief – all rolled into one tiny ball of energy! Life for us all has […]
The last few decades have seen a significant rise in Singledom… a product of choice, priorities, divorce and the upswing trend of live-in relationships. More and more women are opting for an independent lifestyle without the constraints of marriage. In India it is noteworthy to accept that one does not only marry the person, but […]
Like all things in life, there is a time and a place for everything. Death is an inevitable end to life as we know it and recognize it. No matter how many times you have lost someone to it, the hurt, grief and pain never desists from enveloping you in its midst. One is never […]

Back in 1999, an autoimmune disorder brought my life to a grinding halt… like a car in full throttle brought to a screeching halt. It hit me like a ton of bricks. For a while there, it was touch and go. With any autoimmune disorder, the diagnose is almost as complex as the disease itself. […]
Us Parsis are remarkably unique, undoubtedly quirky, comparably idiocentric, with a race, religion and ethos all our own. You may be born in Mumbai, may have moved to Montreal, studied in Jamshedpur, interned in Japan, worked in Oman, and immigrated to Ontario… but immaterial of where life takes you and […]
No matter who you choose to marry, partner or single out, there are always early signs that distinguish a man from the boys. Choose well, choose wise, choose someone who exhibits emotional maturity in all aspects of life. Turning eighteen does not necessarily make a boy mature or evolved enough to course the path of […]
Teaching is genuinely a gratifying profession. Ask any teacher who teaches for the love of it. For years, I have taught truly gifted students as also those now categorised as development students… the ones who most has sort of give up on, the ones often told they need more remedial classes before they’re even allowed […]
Do you believe there is power in prayer? Do you hold enough faith to know that a kind and generous God answers your prayers, eases your burdens and smoothly alleviates all your suffering? Do you communicate and talk with Him every day, often enough? What has your experience been? Are you a rational, doubtful soul […]
