Autism and the book!
My then eight year old Neice Mayasa is the one who introduced me to Cooper and his mom two years back. Among the people who got devastated with Daniyal’s autism diagnosis, my two nieces were the ones who got most heartbroken. They have dreamt of having play dates and hide & seek with Daniyal. They…

Another to me
I have found this written in my notepad last November. I found it yesterday while looking for something else. I thought of not publishing it because here or there all my recent post feels the same. Yet I chose to do it because after years it would be great to read and cherish the gush…

The forgotten self
So I was on a small date (that’s what we call it) with my husband today, after dropping our son at the therapy centre. The first thing that struck my mind when I entered the restaurant was the songs playing in the background. As it turned out, I was in one of the South Indian…

Into the grey depths of Gehraiyaan!
***Spoilers ahead!*** ‘Gehraiyaan‘ was one of the most anticipated releases of this year, so perhaps that explains why so many people were disappointed. To start with, director Shakun Batra‘s last one ‘Kapoor and Sons’ ain’t a hit either, but the movie got discussed after a long while its release. Of course, ‘Gehraiyaan’ is not ‘Kapoor…

Breathing beyond the limit
That feeling you have is real. Getting pulled to the depths of nothingness. Days are becoming grey and exhausting. That chaos you’re thinking about right now is real. The confusion of choosing the right words for the right conversation. Drowning in the deep ocean breathless. That inexplicable feeling in your heart! Feeling a lump in…

365 days of being that parent!
It’s been 365 days before, 365 days, we waited patiently in front of the doctor’s room with him! We were literally sweating because of getting out after the quarantine and was not ready to leave Canadian winter behind! He became increasingly irritated in waiting. After 15 minutes with the doctor, he became agitated. My husband…
