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 […]

The Spirit Of New Year
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 […]
The Courage In Grieving
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 Mature
Being mature is often associated with one’s age. Age and experience can, no doubt, assist in gaining greater perspective, more insight, more temperance. But maturity is not the reserve of age – it’s a form of learned behaviour, it’s how you deal with yourself and others, in keeping with your circumstances, suffering, success and failures. […]
Your Aura And You
Your aura or auric field vibrates and radiates all your emotions and feelings. Sometimes ‘Aura’, is a term loosely used to mean a glow or a vibe that one can pick up from a person. Science defines it as an electromagnetic field around you. Science has also managed to pick up colours that surround people, […]
Who’s Looking After Mummy?
Undoubtedly, women are a force to reckon with. They juggle, wiggle, contend, they task – they do it all! Born multitaskers, women as women are absolutely fierce… but when it comes to her role as a mother, she is undeniably the spring from whence starts all creation! Being a mother is about playing the pivotal […]
Walk Away!
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 […]
Brain Power
Every second that we are kicking and alive, is associated with our brain health. 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. The brain is an organ which survives on stimulation and activity. While there are books and […]
Celebrating Our Iranian Brethren!
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 […]
The One Thing We Need – Audacity!
The one big difference I see between people who make things happen and those who don’t, it’s audacity! Bold in your face, there for the world to see – audacity! They take risks. They are the ones, willing to leap forward. They move things along, not by gentle nudges but by emphatic pushes that propel […]
Armenia – Where Tradition Merges With Modernization
Part of the former Soviet republic, located in the Caucasus region between Asia and Europe, Armenia is known for its landscapes, cuisine, culture and history. The first country to adopt Christianity, it’s defined by some of the oldest religious sites including the Greco-Roman Temple of Garni and 4th century Holy Echmiadzin Cathedral, headquarters of the […]
