• Returning to the Nest

  

  I am sitting at my desk, in Mumbai, in the early hours of the morning. The words in my head play havoc. And I must follow their command and rise even as the rest of the family continues to sleep, tired after the holidays that took us home. Its 5.45 a.m. The sun is yet…

• How long must I wait before I return…

  

  To all those who’ve been following my blog, you are aware that 2018 has been keeping me on my toes and I haven’t felt the urge to write, so much so it had me worried. And then I saw this picture taken by my father-in-law of the mango tree in the garden and it made…
