• India Diaries 4 : Its a month!

  

  I haven’t written a post in a long time. It could mean one of two things or both, a) I have been busy being entertained with little or no time to spend behind a computer, punching keys despite my love for it or b) I have been neck-deep battling life’s daily trials and both my…

• An Ode to the Best Teacher, Mrs. Narayanan…For Believing in Me

  

  Mrs. Narayanan did it again.This poem won the first prize. English was always my favorite subject in school.

There was something about the way they carried themselves that each one of us in the Elite private school for girls’…
