Hello from my home to yours! At least, I hope you are not being naughty and wandering around – stay home and stay safe. But honestly, this staying at home is getting a little too much. It started out as fun because I didn’t have to rush to eat breakfast and get dressed for school […]

Part of the ‘Baby Diaries’ seriesAs I was mentioning in my last post, our exciting journey across Africa ended in the polluted air of Delhi. Even as we landed, I couldn’t help but notice the glaring contrast between the smog-filled air I was seeing around myself and the lush greenery I had just left behind […]
