I understand Judgement better now!
This happened during a 10-day Vipassana meditation course that I attended. Before telling you the story, let me give you some context about Vipassana, it will help the story. It’s a residential meditation course offered by S.N.Goenka (visit https://www.dhamma.org/). They have multiple meditation courses for 10, 20 and 30 days, all free of cost (donation…
I understand motherhood better now…
One day, our neighbours visited us to meet our one-month-old baby. Casual conversations led to the challenges with infants. They have a teenage daughter. Reminiscing her childhood, they were explaining how they dealt with those early parenthood challenges. It’s interesting how all parents have faced similar challenges, dealt with them differently and yet were able…
I understand teamwork better now
We all understand that childbirth is difficult. Childbirth through normal delivery (NVD) makes the experience even more difficult, with intense labor pain & contractions. I had a normal delivery. 17 hours of wait in the hospital after my water broke, 2-3 hours of labor pain and I was ready to give birth. I was in…
I understand cognitive overload now
We are planning to travel to my hometown with 2.5 months old baby. It will involve air travel where my husband and I have to manage the baby, 1 month worth of luggage. You might think one month of luggage for minimalists like us won’t be much and I agree. The problem is that our…

Now we have shifted to our new home and in process of setting it up. Since my husband is permanently working from home, he wants to have a good home office setup. One of the important aspect of working from home is online meetings. If you are going to meet everyone virtually all the time,…
Intertwined Thoughts
We see many photos… of garbage, plastic, dumps, cluttered roads. We look at the photo for two seconds, feel bad and forget the next moment. What creates a lasting impact is the seeing that garbage in reality with our own two eyes, albeit for two seconds. We also feel it when we feel the pinch…
Epiphany by eggs
Today while coming back home, I realised I was supposed to make eggs for dinner as per my weekly plan. Generally I buy eggs in advance and always carry my egg carton to get the eggs in it. My forgetful brain had decided to vanish this reminder from my memory and I did not have…
