Anticlock - Where it all started

Posted in

Dear Friend,
 
You are receiving this email because eighteen years back, an eighteen
year old "you" had signed off your school life along with me  in a
obscure,sleepy east Indian port town, and from a school that seemed to
have been God’s own  as  He  was unveiling his plan to set us up for
the game called “life” which lay ahead.
 
Think for a moment. Eighteen years from now, you would be celebrating

When In-Laws or Husband Do Not Understand the Situation

Following question was asked by a dear friend...
"I am a stay at home mom and have two kids with a gap of 2 yrs. I had C-Sections both the times. I did not gain much weight after my first delivery and was pretty active, healthy and was in perfect shape too. But things changed completely when my baby was 9 months. We realized that I was pregnant again and was both happy and confused about it. After a lot of thinking and analyzing we decided to go ahead with the baby.

Posted in

When you see the pictures of glamorous celebrities on the covers of different magazines...do you feel like "Oh why can't I be like them”?

What Is Success...

It was pouring that evening when we brought our dad back home from the hospital - relieved that the nightmare is past at last. Our dad had undergone a surgery a few weeks back and recovered a little from the operation -

Live - In Relationships...Is It Testing The Waters Before Plunge

The custom of Live-in relationship is very old in India, wherein zamindars and Nawabs not only had many wives but quite a few live in-women. In those times it was not considered immoral to have a live-in relationship.
Post Independance, monogamous marriages became the in-thing. India still remains a conservative society where the institution of marriage is considered sacred. Plus chastity on the part of a woman is highly rated. The woman with a history of pre marital relations with a man will have less chances of getting married in the future.

The Empty Nest

It is my Sunday ritual to call up my parents back home in India. I can clearly hear the joy in their voice and know how eagerly they are waiting for my call. Its been nearly a decade since my parents have been staying alone, since all three of us (my 2 sisters and me) have been married and moved away from our hometown. In the beginning it was for studies and then better job prospects that we had to leave our Family home.

H4 wife

I am an H4 wife....
H4 visa status has been a part and parcel of my life, career and in fact my past, present and future. I had read on many websites about the agony and pain along with waste of talent many women have faced. I too had come to this country to add up to the quiet huge population of "Trained technical, professionally qualified wives" sitting at home.
