Maternity is soon over. With three months left to go, my days have been daunting so far. On one hand, I am so ready to go back to work. On the other, I am anxious on how I can possibly cope with separation anxiety. Juggling between ambitious thoughts and emotions, can mothers have it all?…

The forgotten gratitude.
Have you been wasting your time on people who don’t deserve your time all these years? Perhaps you have been chasing for a place within a sought-after community or craving for attention that no one cares giving it to you? Perhaps self-development is never about elevating yourself but for the sake of pleasing others and…
A new beginning.
Happy New Year! Which writer would want to miss writing a post in the first week of new year? A new beginning, many have eminently recapped what 2021 means for them and hoping for a better 2022. 2021, a recovery year as we tried to regain strength, pick ourselves up, and strive for some level…
Fear of missing out.
Nine months away from the corporate world, something that I never thought would exist in my diary is happening today. It’s the fear of missing out that is playing on my mind. Work is a part of life. It’s pointless to discuss about the symbiosis of ‘work to live or live to work.’ Evidently, the…

Keep striving.
When we were young, parents encouraged us to take baby steps in any possible encounter. Be it to sit, to crawl, to stand, to eat, to play, or to speak – we attempted them all with courage. Parents gave us keys to experience ‘the world‘. ‘The world‘ is colourful and openly fascinating. For many years…
Post ‘likes’ are gone.
Migrating from WordPress.com to WordPress.org is more complicated than I thought. It costed me two weeks of writing downtime and even more, juggling with temporary and permanent domains, familiarising with new features and tools, and running back and forth with support teams to rebuilding the site. Disheartened with the absence of plugin option in basic…
