I simply love to shop. But I don't shop till I drop. And so I cannot be labelled as a shopaholic either.I realized how much shopping can be liberating after I attained financial independence.

Sorry–the hardest word
In the recent times saying "Sorry" seems to be becoming increasingly difficult for us. Be it our personal, professional or day-to day life.

Durga Puja Enthrallments
For me, Durga Puja is equivalent to being in Jorhat-my home town. I was not born in Jorhat. My father was transferred to Jorhat in 1990 and our family has been there since then. So Jorhat is the home town I know and love. Prior to Jorhat, I do not remember any Durga Puja. Excepting …

The Pact of Sisterhood
My sister and only sibling (Namrata) is younger to me by one year, seven months and one day to be precise. And I don't remember a single moment of my life without her. When she was born my paternal grandma was perhaps worried that I might hurt her and so she scared me instead saying …
Empty Nest
Do we ever wonder what occupies our parents' thoughts most of the times....I can safely bet that parents whose family is now an empty nest (with grown up children living separately--studying or working) are constantly thinking about their children...wondering what they are doing at the moment...about their next visit....Before me and my sister went home …
