I wanted to write a blog post about this topic for a long time now. I couldn't find enough time to blog, thanks to the hectic work schedule in the new team. I spent most of my free time this month in cleaning the house and applying minimalism techniques I learnt in some of these... Continue Reading →
Random thoughts
Just some random thoughts. It was a while since I did a post on anything other than books. I have been part of many Facebook or WhatsApp groups and I have noticed a common trend these days. People are rude. They comment very rudely if they do not agree with you. Are people more rude on the... Continue Reading →
Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions
I finally got hold of "Dear Ijeawele, or a Feminist Manifesto in Fifteen Suggestions" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and finished reading it in one sitting.

Our Christmas came early as our little one decided to move forward today. I am so happy that he started crawling. I have been waiting for this day ever since he was born. He is now independent and can easily move around. This also means we need to be extra vigilant all the time. He... Continue Reading →
3 months
We finally crossed the 3 months milestone. First 3 months are supposed to be the most challenging period of parenting. Thanks to my mom who has been losing sleep for my sake, I was able to cross this period without much issues. I have no idea how I would have managed this phase alone. Yet... Continue Reading →
