After fighting with an alien cat in my dream, I am awake at 1.30 am. It all is followed by a futile effort of building a sleep pattern of 9.30 pm to 6 am. Alas, not all wishes come true at once. No problem I will keep on working. Being a really smart gal I have messed up with my sleep-wake cycle long ago, and today when I accidentally opened Rujuta Diwekar’s video on cortisol on my facebook page- I realized what has been going on with me. For all of you who are not aware that I am a distant relative of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rujuta is the link who tied Kareena and me together. You all must be wondering why have I never discussed this earlier, why I took so long to disclose my bond with Kareena. Let me explain.

Around December 2008 I started writing this blog, I could have never imagined that I would last writing it the next year yet I continu...
Its feel great to be back after a gap, back to the roots and back to the basics. I cannot believe that we have completed 100 days of our blog and I cannot but be humbled and thank all of my friends who have given me their unconditional support and love and I pray that our journey continues further ahead in love, peace and joy. When I began this blog I never could have imagined that I would be able to go on for such a long period of time but here we are.
