What's in a Name?


How important are our names to us? Many people think that our names decide our fate and have strong influence on our destiny. I don’t. Do I love my name? Not much. Would I be something different if I was not called Farida? No. I would still be the weird crazy person I am now, no matter what you called me. It is like what Gertrude Stein said, “"Rose is a rose is a rose is a rose."

Social Media - Now for Banking!

I have attended many Indibloggers meet so far, but last Sunday the Kotak Mahindra Bank’s #JifiIsHere blogger meet was completely outstanding. It was amazing to see that keeping up with their agenda of socializing banking through facebook, the event was organized in three cities, bringing together over six hundred bloggers through one unique interactive experience online.

Going further from each other to get closer

I have been married for 24 years. It comes as a big shock to me whenever I realize it has been so long that I have been married. "Why shocked", you may ask. For one thing I always wanted to pursue science and marriage was something I did not want to get into, because I felt it would cripple my wings. Though my mom had me emotionally blackmailed and cajoled to finally say yes, I developed cold feet and wanted to run away from everything 3 days before the D day.

Destination Disneyworld


If I had to pick a destination to travel in 2014, I would surely pick to visit Disneyworld, Florida with my family and friends.

I haven’t traveled much in my life, at least not in real sense. If I did, then there would be a travel blog describing my experiences from different parts of the world. My travel has been through watching videos, reading books and lately by Google search. The one great travel time I remember is spending 4 months in USA with my friends. That came out as a courtesy of stay allowed to us by Paula and Jay Gerding, Heidi King and Judi Friedkin. Though I haven’t been able to visit many lovely places in India or for that matter Karnataka, somehow my enthusiasm to visit Disneyworld finally came true in 2008. That one day tour of Disneyworld has been one of the most memorable moments of our lives.

Indispire # BackFromTheDead

Today I want to share a story poem with you. I know it is such a torture to read lengthy works but this is something very close to my heart and today I feel like sharing with you people. I usually write something very short but one day this just came out of blue and it is so relevant to the topic #BackFromTheDead.

Breaking The Barriers- Building A Home With A Heart

Building a Home with a Heart!
I don’t have a home, but I have a dream. A dream of building a home with a heart.  A dream of a special home for my special needs child. The theme of my home would be independence for all….
