Vivify: Sometimes I hate my job...
http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2015/01/sometimes-i-hate-my-job.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Tuesday, January 6, 2015. Sometimes I hate my job. We all live in our own private hells. As I spoke to a gentleman this evening I was left pondering over the following questions: Can parents ever get over the loss of their child needlessly - to a road accident? Dreams, hopes, all crushed? And what is worse? That someone from a newspaper calls you to talk about your decision to donate your child's organs and she may also need a photo? ABHIR: ...

Vivify: The Silent Raga by Ameen Merchant
http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2008/06/silent-raga.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Sunday, June 22, 2008. The Silent Raga by Ameen Merchant. A tale of two sisters, bonded by love, divided in hate and reunited; a plot oft heard and repeated. But Merchant has a way of gripping the reader. His narrative flows, between years, events, past and present unfolding the story of love, betrayal and renewal of faith like the strains of a raga, smooth and melodious. Set in the Tamil Nadu of the eighties and nineties, the story illustra...

Vivify: Four letter words
http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2011/12/four-letter-words.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Monday, December 19, 2011. This one is not about THE four letter words most commonly used by most people, including me. This one's about the four letter words that have suddenly become the most common words in my vocabulary. When I sat down to introspect what each of these words means to me, I also realised that many of them have changed in its meaning for me over the years. Can we have this-this for dinner? But I have learned to control my ...

Vivify: Traumatised by Hon'ble Shri Raj Thackeray
http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2008/12/traumatised-by-honble-shri-raj.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Wednesday, December 31, 2008. Traumatised by Hon'ble Shri Raj Thackeray. There were signs but I didn't realise how seriously affected my little 5 year old has been by Mr Raj Thackeray's actions. As my son stormed back, despatched home by the class teacher, with the picnic goodies untouched in his bag, unhappy over the cancellation, he exclaimed loudly, "Mama, my picnic has been cancelled because Raj Thackeray is burning buses.". Clearly, the...

Vivify: Dear Women, Stop being Hypocrites...
http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2015/07/dear-women-stop-being-hypocrites.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Sunday, July 12, 2015. Dear Women, Stop being Hypocrites. Personally, I have nothing against Ms Kavita Krishnan. But I do not agree with her methods. The one thing feminists across the world fight for is equality. To demand equality is to accept that we want to be treated as fairly as possible or as is commonly assumed, we want to be treated like men. The Internet is not a safe place for women. Of the 3,787 people who reported harassing ...

http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2012/03/post-of-gratitude-3-gifts-and-beautiful.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Monday, March 12, 2012. A post of Gratitude, 3 gifts and a beautiful woman named Yamini! I have immense respect and adoration for her. She gave me ardent support when I was the archetype stressed mother of two without reliable day support for them as I slogged my backside to pursue a passion/profession! She has given my children a home. A place where they can BE. Comfortable, safe and happy. She never once, not once, sent him home, because I...

Vivify: Blood Moon, Chizhik-Pyzhik and I
http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2014/10/blood-moon-chizhik-pyzhik-and-i.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Wednesday, October 8, 2014. Blood Moon, Chizhik-Pyzhik and I. Diwali cleaning always manages to throw up some surprises. Every year while cleaning up I find remnants of the year gone by, a dress I bought which has now become loose, one part of a favourite earring, old clippings, older memories and some fresh perspectives. That was three nights ago. It's known as the Blood Moon.Chaotic endings and transformable beginnings? 8216;This full moon...

Vivify: Clothes Make a Man, But a Woman is Damned Whatever She Wears

Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Wednesday, July 1, 2015. Clothes Make a Man, But a Woman is Damned Whatever She Wears. So Smita Sabharwal, an accomplished IAS officer from Telangana, known for her “ethnic style” wore “a trendy trouser and frilly top at a fashion show” and grabbed eyeballs. This is the caricature carried by Outlook. The episode serves to highlight the conundrum for many of us – what should we wear to suit the occasion? Working women who often have to juggle...

Vivify: On the highway
http://vivify-ritu.blogspot.com/2014/10/on-highway.html
Giving life to my thoughts through a process of self discovery! Tuesday, October 28, 2014. It's amazing how the sights and sounds. You attempted to capture in the day. Change character when darkness descends. The trees, the ponds and wells. Ancient temples and sprawling churches. Paddy fields and pools of water. Coconut trees and a cloud-laden sky. Bananas, apples and oranges hanging from ramshackle roofs. Newest cars parked inside sprawling bungalows. Tiny courtyards of little houses;. On the keyboard -.
