About me




Hello!! and Welcome to my blog,

I'm Sumitra, a full-time software professional, a mom and a newbie to the blogging world. Since my childhood, I have been a good story teller in my own funny and witty way. I always had this passion inside me to pen down my thoughts and life experiences. But life had its other plans and landed me to a technical field where all i write is programs. As there goes a saying "Better late than Never", here I am starting my new journey as a blogger.

This blog is a medium for me to share my perspectives on daily life experiences,  my travel diaries, DIYs, recipes  and some fun casual stuff. Whenever I get some free time from my daily life chaos this will be the place to vent out my energy and make a connection to the outside world.

Enjoy reading :)

The equation of giving and receiving

Image
    The term “give and take” is deeply rooted within human society. Be it in relationships, businesses or communities this act, or process of exchange plays a vital part in our daily lives. No one can claim to be completely selfless person. So, we all believe in the reciprocity. Now the question here is how balance should be this equation? Or does it need to be balanced at all? Let’s try to analyze and hopefully we will find the answer together. Psychologist Adam Grant divides the working world into three groups of people: Givers ,  Takers , and Matchers .

They look for every opportunity that will benefit them in some way. And finally, matchers are those who tries to establish an equilibrium between these two categories. At a first glance you might get biased towards one o...

What love is not

"LOVE" a mere four-letter word, yet it's the basis of everything around us. I am not sure if there exists a concrete definition of love. Everybody has got their own meaning of love. But one thing that stays common across is that love is a basic necessity in human life. It's the thread that connects us to our surroundings. It's the energy behind our actions. Love is life. Love comes in many forms. Parental love, platonic love, teenage love, romantic love, spiritual love and self love. As we experience all these variations of love through our life journey, we have an idea about some of  the characteristics of love. Trust, affection, respect, understanding, acceptance, growth are some of them. But before we know what is true love, let's understand what it is not. What are some of the common myths around love? LOVE is not blind: This is the phrase we all have heard "love is blind". But let me tell you, true love is not blind, infatuation is...

9 lessons from 9 days of Navaratri

Image
Navaratri is the hindu festival, when devotees worship Maa durga for the span of nine days. Each day  of navaratri represents a distinct avatar of Maa durga and has an associated color to it. This festival is celebrated in different ways across different parts of India. Even though the form of celebration varies , the intention of the festival  is same which represents the win of good over evil. Destruction of all negativity around us and radiating positive energy. Here is my take on what lessons Maa durga gives us in her various forms. Day 1 : Goddess Shailaputri Shailaputri is the first form of Maa durga who symbolizes the collective power of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. She represents the mooladhar shakti or the root chakra. She is the epitome of all energy. This form of the goddess depicts that,  without realizing our core energy and strength that lies inside us, we will not be able to face the challenges in our life. Each one of us has our unique abilities...
