Last week, Daughter’s Day was celebrated on 26th September. Now there are myriad reasons why daughters are precious… More precious than all the silver and gold you accumulate in life. Daughters are the tiaras you wear for life. It’s uncanny how often a mother hears that remark, “Hey your daughter is a splitting image of […]
An increasing number of countries have resumed international commercial flights with India, since mid-August. Multiple countries and multiple carriers are in preparedness to welcome Indian passengers. No matter how remote your destination or how far the shores, Indians love to travel and have always left their indelible imprints on every foreign land. For air travel […]
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 […]

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 […]
As we go through life, we accumulate wisdom – about what and who we really are. Wisdom comes with age but if you’re reasonably truthful , this knowledge is yours through all stages of life. We recognise who we are, what’s really important, and how to live life as productively and happily for ourselves as […]
It’s astonishing how little we credit Joy! Joy is a state of mind. It’s neither temperamental nor conditional like happiness can be. The two have fuzzy lines between them, but Joy somehow seems the real deal. These days, few know how to carve joy in their world. Joy is momentary and comes from an intense, […]
Do you at times feel a tingling sensation all over? Do you sometimes sense a gentle presence all around you? Do you dream vividly? Have you ever had a persistent thought that refuses to leave you? When alone, have you always felt you had someone around looking out for you? Do you believe in the […]
Veera is a published Author (‘Endured’ and ‘#LoveBitesLifeHacks’) and Columnist; a passionate Educator and Counsellor; Poet and Philosopher… but most of all, a lover of all things literary. Mommies are made of different moulds. Parenting styles are determined not just by what we believe, but by who we are. Different personalities parent differently. Once a […]
