When I opened up to share news of my cancer, friends, family and even faithful readers whom I've have never met, started to pour in prayers and encouragement. Some even gone the extra mile to send me tangible well wishes in the form of flowers, cupcakes, organic food, scented candles, biblical journals etc. My colleagues also threw me a surprise ‘Get-Well-Soon’ lunch the day before my op. Unbeknown to them; these acts of love, however tiny or insignificant they may seem, were life-giving. As the … [Read more...]

“People don't take trips... trips take people.” John Steinbeck, 1902 – 1968. Writer, Nobel Prize Winner Siem Reap with kids? Why Not? While we love travelling as a family, Siem Reap, Cambodia has never really been in our radar.

There’s just something magical about watching a circus. Not just for the acts but for that shared experiences where adult and child share the same enthrallment, the same bursts of laughters and the same bewilderments of "How on earth did they do that?" Our daughter shares about The Great Moscow Circus: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VMVLAVj6cjA The ‘most sincere art form’ as the Ringmaster puts it, allows families to connect in the most sincere ways.
