Spring will come every year, but March ’24 was the last spring with my Mum. I miss her. I suppose I’ve been a spoilt brat, though my parents didn’t spoil me. Life did. Having my mother with me in my home to love and care for, was the greatest blessing in my life, right up …
An awareness of ‘getting on in years’. Yet, I can’t help loving my life more with each year. Counting my blessings, also realising that age isn’t there for everyone.

A post sharing my current challenging situation of getting back to my blogging. The handicaps faced recently were a big surprise and have taken their own time to get me back to my normal state. Lets hope I can finally get back on track of my writing life.
A round up of 2024 here, as most of the time I wasn’t here. Losing my Mother during that time has been the most heart wrenching part of it. Otherwise, God blessed me in every way, as you see.
Ending with sharing of my aspirations for this year 2025. May God bless each of you and myself, along with our families. May our dreams come true. May sanity prevail in the world. It gets pretty scary sometimes. As my mother always said, ‘Life is as you make it!’

I started this post a couple of days ago, and kept writing, as I went to vote. Now, let me complete this. Firstly, illiteracy and democracy doesn’t …
Its end of January 2024 already, have I got my bearings yet? My dear, we got to do some self-counselling and get on with our lives. In spite of all that is happening around us. Locally and internationally. No matter how hard it may seem, we have to keep going. In uncertain times, we need …
You can’t say ‘Happy new year’ during a genocide, can you? So, it’s a strange feeling these days. Specially at this end of the world. Look at it from any perspective, from any angle. In such situations, when there are too many dichotomies around me, I need to have a one-on-one chat with myself. ‘Where …
Today, I’m living in a world where my eyes see, but still it is hard to believe. I don’t want to spoil your mood immediately, so I’ll share a ‘good’ unbelievable story first. A few months ago, I saw my female cocker spaniel Duchess actually feeding kittens of a stray tabby. The mother had suddenly …
