Ideation Therapy
A bathroom or the loo is everyone’s safe haven. You can spend hours in there and people understand the pull of nature’s call. This confined space is uninhibited. Think of all the perfect sales pitches, the singing contest victories and dance moves that you’ve honed in your shower. In fact Archimedes had his Eureka! moment…
Unwind and Rewind

Binge Watch and Chill
Work from Home has given a new lease of life to OTT platforms.

Be Grateful and Celebrate
Ever since this lock down started, we’ve all been looking for reasons to either stay in or step out. The women in my society are all facing the reversed cycle of life: dealing with helicopter kids, as they are now discovering, is no fun after all. We don’t let our moms step out of the…
A Fervent Salute

What started as an exuberantly urgent phase of normalizing the world has now made us either crippled us with panic and fear or becoming completely oblivious to everything around, You can see that with weary cops, government officials, health officials and those who helped all of this…
