The Singapore Model: Is It Replicable in India?

You land back in India after a few days in Singapore, and almost instinctively, you say it out loud—or think it quietly: “Why can’t India be like this?” A city where concrete does not suffocate, where greenery thrives alongside glass towers, where public washrooms are usable, tap water is drinkable, and rules are not suggestions. A city with no litter—none at all—where discipline is enforced not through chaos, but through systems that actually work.

Balancing Act: Managing Kids' Screen Time in a Digital World

The digital wave did open up incredible opportunities. People discovered new ways to work, earn, and express themselves. Creativity flourished, startups mushroomed, freelancers found independence, and remote work reshaped what “career” even meant. But there’s another side — a darker one.

Gentle Parenting Gone Wrong

Being an arrogant child is not the same as being a confident one. I’ve seen confident children who are also humble, respectful, and empathetic. I’m far from a perfect mother, and my children are far from perfect — but one thing I won’t allow is for them to mistreat others, definitely not in my presence. Because arrogance isn’t a sign of confidence. It’s a reflection of what we teach at home.

If you enjoy psychological thrillers, this one’s a great pick. Regular readers of the genre might be able to guess the twist early on, but if you don’t, you’re in for quite a shock.

I Am Such a Show-off!

Recently, some of you might have noticed (or maybe ignored) that I’ve started posting my daily workout stories on Instagram—updates about medals or certificates for completing 5K walks and runs. I know what some of you are thinking: “Plenty of people walk or run more than 5K every day without posting about it. Why is she showing off?” Why am I making such a big deal about my 5Ks? 5K may be small for some. But for me, every step forward is a big deal. And if my journey gets even one more person moving, I think I’ve already won.

Road Trip from Hyderabad to Badami

A quick long weekend getaway from Hyderabad - Badami - was a pleasant surprise. Since it is closer to Hampi, most of the tourists club Hampi and Badami together. We, however, could not cover it during our trip to Hampi. The weather played its role perfectly, giving a stunning background to our photographs. Beautifully preserved caves, ruins, and an ancient temple on the lake. Visit Badami (and Hampi) just when it starts to rain or when it just stops. Avoid the peak monsoon and summer seasons. Don't forget to pack your own lunch for the road!

Kis Baat ka Ghamand?

Why the hell do you, men, carry such huge egos? What has been your contribution to being born as a boy? Or for that matter, your parents’? It just happened that a combination of chromosomes made you a boy and me a girl. That’s it. Kis baat ka ghamand leke ghoom rahe ho tum?

The Living Will - Right to die with dignity!

This concept of a Living Will looks like an option to convert one’s wish into reality when one would not be in a condition to speak up for himself/herself. In simpler terms, a "living will", also known as an Advance Medical Directive, is a legal document where individuals can specify their wishes regarding medical treatment in case they become incapacitated. This allows them to refuse life-sustaining treatment or specify their preferences for end-of-life care, ensuring their autonomy even when unable to communicate. Living wills uphold an individual's right to make decisions about their own body and healthcare, even at the end of life, promoting dignity in death.

Me First!

High performers often suffer in silence. Because they always seem fine, everyone assumes they don’t need help. But when they burn out, they think it’s entirely their burden to fix. All they need to do is raise a hand. Help is there—if they ask.

Movie Review: Jurassic World Rebirth

As a long-time fan of the Jurassic Park/World series, I was excited to watch Jurassic World Rebirth on the big screen. While I enjoyed the dinosaur thrills and a few edge-of-the-seat moments, the storyline felt repetitive and predictable, once again featuring a greedy corporation, an expedition team, a forbidden island, and a survival race after things go wrong.
