Dear Reader, Life happens. I look back at this almost three years of hiatus from this space and I realize, it all looks like a blur. A colourful blur with peaks of red, yellow and orange spiking up momentarily in the graph of my life while, blue, green and a rather interesting purple streaming steadily.... Continue Reading →
Here's a secret- I've a strong willed child at home. Gulp. He screams, yells, rolls on the floor, yanks at my hair, breaks things around the house and does things even after I say "no". He hides within clothes racks in shops so that you can't find him easily, he locks doors after him, he'll... Continue Reading →
Dining in Doha is extremely challenging solely because of the choices you're spoilt with. The restaurant scenes have never looked this vibrant and green, I believe, and most of the times, you spend a good hour or so "deciding" on where you're going to dine (Well, we do. In this household, we argue over... Continue Reading →
Vacation time falls once a year- a whole 30 odd days of getaways, family gatherings, exploring places, being adventurous, going on a literal food safari, spending wads of money over frivolous things, taking a zillion pictures, all the while making the most fond memories. How I dig them! However, last year I realized something extraordinary.... Continue Reading →

That's exactly why this is the right time to talk about exploring Qatar the coming... Continue Reading →
If you've read Harper Lee's "To kill a Mockingbird" you'd recall the line, "Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." I believe this quote aptly explains my feeling for reading. Back in Sri Lanka, I've been a member in libraries, volunteered to be a librarian,... Continue Reading →
Life is never easy. People come and go. You get a job, you lose a job. The money that's made is never enough. Your child falls sick. You fall sick. Work never ends. Every day, creative souls and individuals with talent don't get the proper exposure they deserve. Fame, popularity, wealth, good looks goes to... Continue Reading →
Sri Lanka is a gem. Really! The statement has nothing to do with the fact that I'm a Sri Lankan (Ok, okayyy maybe it does, a little!)but I believe, it's one of the most generous countries in the world considering it being the size of a pod but brims with rich history and culture. The... Continue Reading →
Keeping a toddler busy AND entertained is tough, especially when you, yourself are knee deep in work and running errands. I generally limit R's TV time as much as I can and I'm not a huge fan of him glued to the phone or Tab. However, when you actually think about it, there is some... Continue Reading →
