Dear Love Guru, My husband travels frequently and it’s difficult for me to find a job wherever we go. I don’t know if I should stay in one place with a job or move with him. Pl advise. Sincerely, Kiara

Dear Kiara It’s difficult to find a balance between a career and a marriage for every woman but it’s far more difficult if you’re constantly on the move. If it’s the early stages of your marriage and you’ve taken a sabbatical from your job, then do travel with your husband to set a good foundation with him. If you’re in a fabulous job with a great support system at a particular place, stay in your job and figure out how to manage visits frequently. Ask for more flexi timings to work from your husband’s place as well. If you do decide to stay with your husband and give up your job, find an alternate career that doesn’t require regular office hours – writing, painting, cooking, interior design, teaching, architecture, law, etc that you can easily find people willing to pay for your services an…

I didn’t watch Ang Lee’s film Life of Pi on the opening weekend. I honestly thought that there couldn’t be much of a story from an abstract novel I had read in 2001. So a decade later when I finally saw the film alone, in a darkened hall, Yann Martel’s novel not only came to life but Ang Lee’s film left me with a deep spiritual awakening that no amount of meditation ever did. Many people asked me later – “what did it mean?” And I replied – “which part?” They looked at me strangely. There were parts, there were dialogues, and then there was the visual imagery, the graphics, the cinematography, and the vision of a director to take parts of a book to make into a film that would change people’s lives forever. At least that’s what it did for me. 25 Symbolisms from Life of Pi: 1.The movie begins with a story that Pi Patel tells Yann about where he got his name. From a swimming pool. Hence the basis of water forms a backdrop to his life. Many times we are named after something our parents thi…

Thoughts and ideas, anger and frustration, problems and solutions had been stewing in all our minds ever since the gang rape of Jyoti Singh Pandey on December 16th in Delhi.
Mukesh of www.storizen.com invited 6 authors to discuss and vent out all their feelings, ideas and solutions.

It was one of the most wonderful Saturday mornings to be part of a discussion that could be intellectual and yet identifiable. We thrashed many things and came out with further resolve to do something more with our lives.

Hope you enjoy the session.

So I've been wanting to inspire and be inspired, teach and learn, give and take and set the new year to believe and release hope. I've amalgamated all my tweets in the hope that they make a difference to someone. These are original (unless indicated in quotes) and have come straight from my heart and the ones that have got a response and started a dailogue.

My Favourite Tweets: 
Sometimes an ignorance to alternatives might be the most blissful state to be in. It might take us years to understand what we really wanted was wrong all along. But that revelation finally leads us on our right journey. Sometimes the hope lies in something ending and being done with. There is a tremendous peace in a conclusion and closure. Sometimes, doing nothing is the best action you can take. You cannot change someone. You're not God. Live by your standards. Nobody else needs to. We r mistaken to believe our consciousness awakened at our birth. It is born only when we become aware of somethin…
