  • Yeh meri family hai (La Familia)

    Sharing our day’s highlights over dinner. Sundays spent tending the garden, washing the car and plucking fruits as cherished prizes. Of course mom cooked a sumptuous meal of chicken curry rice and it was topped off by jalebi (indian dessert cooked like churos but dipped in sugar syrup after frying). Mom & dad gave us the best childhood we could ever have had. Yeh meri family hai.

    Waking up to the sound of prayers and the smell of incense sticks. Breakfast laid out, our favourite dishes made all at one go. Mummy and papa (read husband’s parents or my parents in laws) pampering us to bits. Yeh meri family hai.

    Building new rituals of hiking, spending time in nature, conscious spending and repurposing broken things. Proud of our values, our principles and ever evolving bond. Yeh meri family hai.

  • Everytime I meet you I meet you for the first time

    Speaking everyday, yet connecting once a year. Knowing all about sport and not aware my own sibling is a tennis champ. Everytime I meet you I meet you for the first time. Happy Rakshabandhan didi.

    Everytime I think I know you inside out, you come up with new lingo. Everytime I think I have taught you all, you come up with questions beyond. Everytime I think you are grown up enough, your emotions catch me. I gave you birth but you gave me life. Love you to the moon and back my child.

    We met, we chatted, we fell in love. We married, we became parents, we got busier with our jobs. Days became weeks and weeks became months as we kept juggling the curveballs of life. A cup of tea here, a moment of quiet there is when a new you meets a new me.
