They say that a writer observes. They must be right because I have always found myself observing people, listening to what is said, and more importantly, to what is not said. Sometime back, I found myself writing snippets of memories from my life and was surprised to find how much people were able to relate. I share stories from my life mostly, but sometimes, I share stories from others’ lives. In all stories, I do try to include humor, and where humor cannot find a place in the story, at least a lesson learnt from the experience. Mostly though, I want people to be able to see the Blessings that are inherent in their lives. Whatever happens in your life, the way you choose to remember it determines whether you live a full life…or a life of regret and missed opportunities.
