Rain, Traffic And Power Outages… Not Always A Bad Thing!

Continuous rain comes with its fair share of inconveniences. Children’s school extra mural activities were canceled all week! Kids were stuck indoors, and that’s when the screen time battles began. And please don’t get me started on traffic, because somehow, the moment it rains, as drivers we seem to collectively lose their ability to drive! And of course, with that much rain, the electricity outages follow. Always. Without fail!

I had some really good achievements of projects I had led successfully. My problem was writing about it and having it readContinueContinue reading “Can you own your success?”

Fit your own mask first….

Pre flight, aviation operators always announce that in case of emergency, you should fit your own oxygen masks first before assisting children or anyone else who might need help. You know why? Because without your own mask fitted, you cannot assist anyone else. As a mother it comes naturally for me to put the needsContinueContinue reading “Fit your own mask first….”

No more toiling…

Tomorrow is the 31st of December 2017. It also happens to be our 10th wedding  anniversary. Such moments always make me reflect on the past. I celebrate my victories but i also look for learnings and see what i could have done better. I read somewhere (paraphrased) that success is a lousy teacher that seducesContinueContinue reading “No more toiling…”
