The six you should not miss-#CrashthePepsiIPL ads!
Pepsi has always been more than just a cold drink! The folks at Pepsi really know how to rope in the masses and make every activity they are involved with, a very fun-filled extravaganza. Last year,it was internship with Pepsi and this year,they have provided a platform to all budding directors and aspiring actors (who doesn’t dream of being one?) to showcase their talent and be featured on television. Pepsi ads have forever been my favourites,from ‘Yehi hai right choice baby!’ through ‘Ye dil maange more’ to ‘Oh yes,abhi!’ This year cricket fever is back with a vengeance, the IPL following World cup and Pepsi has aptly come up with…

The Walk
I recently started the evening walk ritual with a friend just to stay fit and ok yes,also for the daily dose of gossip we both share. We chose to walk the ‘the walking plaza’, a term every army-wife would understand. For the rest, let me explain-it is a stretch of road inside a cantonment, lined by picturesque trees which is closed to traffic for specific hours in the morning and evening for walking. Oh and yes,every lamp post has a speaker mounted on it and music plays during ‘walking hours’. Sounds amazing,right? The initial few days were spent trying to just complete the circuit,either one not willing to surrender. We…

Digital India-Dawn of a new era!
The world ‘e’ has brought a new meaning to so many different things…e-mail,e-book,e-commerce,e-business,e-banking… to name a few. Another such word that shall soon change the way public services will be delivered in India is e-governance! source In the past decade or so,India has made phenomenal advancements in every field. Now it is moving towards tranformation of itself into a digitally empowered knowledge economy i.e Digital India. Digital India is an initiative of the Government of India to integrate the Government of the nation with its people. Magically,it is in a way moving forward to realise the ideals of our erstwhile leaders- Government of the people,for the people and by the…

Melody
When raindrops fall on tin roofs, When softly rumbles the earth’s core, When rustles wind through dry leaves, It is melody when ripples strike the shore. When birds on a twig sing together, When whistles a train through forest grove, When a clock ticks in pure rhythm, It is melody when sings a heart in love.

Don’t forget to break the fast!
After every sunset comes a new sunrise…and breakfast! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and as a doctor,I can vouch for that. What you eat in the morning has a great influence on your physical and mental agility throughout the day. Why to have breakfast? 1) Breakfast restores the body’s energy and glucose stores after an overnight fast. 2) It lowers stress hormone and elevates mood. 3) It fires up the body’s metabolism…skipping breakfast makes you gain,not lose weight!(eye-opener) Despite being the most important one,it is the most neglected. No one has time in the morning… Kids are getting late for school…parents for work. My family very…

Optimism will take you far!
I always wanted to write…even when I was an eight year old reading Noddy by Enid Blyton! I graduated to Hardy Boys,Nancy Drew…then Agatha Christie and Sidney Sheldon…matured to reading classics and contemporary literature….the urge to write remained. Over the years, I wrote a little…random thoughts….a few poems…but till a year back,I was basically just procrastinating! I thought I would write when I had the time…a utopian dream when you are married,have a child and a full time job. My eldest brother loves writing too( and yes,I look up to my brothers a lot,which you must have made out by now if you have read my previous posts). In the…

Push the envelope-take a risk!
source The year was 2011. Life was going through a lot. I had left my job as a medical officer a year back to be with my husband at the place of his posting and as fate would have it,he moved out to a field location(non-family station for the non-faujis) within a month. My daughter wasn’t even a year old then. I came back to my parents’ place not knowing what else to do. I spent an entire year trying to work out the possibilities in my head but nothing made sense. It was overwhelming to not have my husband around to raise our daughter and I had no idea…

Whether the weather….
This post is dedicated to the ‘Weather God’ who seems Hell-bent on driving me nuts! For once,can someone tell me What is the weather like? Is it hot or cold? I am going crazy trying to figure it out. As if problems in life are already not enough,the WG is adamant on keeping the weather a suspense. It seems like he is bored of the meek human beings not giving him his due respect and is now playing around to show the material he is made of. The weather now changes on a daily basis… seasons are a thing of the past. The weather app on my mobile is also…

The world of my dreams!
Our lives are filled with ‘if only‘ and ‘if I was’…do we really mean when we say them or is it just that it is easier to blame others and boast that everything would be better if you were in charge? I wondered about this when I came across the question- What kind of world would you create if you had the power? Perfection is a utopian dream. Nevertheless, there are a few things I would definitely bring about in the world if by some strange quirk of fate, I acquire the ultimate power(if even for an iota of time). Tolerance I want the world to be a tolerant place…a…
