The Choice

The uncanny wife she was, For whom choice was a distant dream. Except sometimes: harassed, bullied, tortured, Shamed in varied kinds. Deemed an imbecile by her wretched guardian She was nothing but a mouse!   “Quit, divorce, react – the choice is yours”, they said. But deep down she knew better the

Jack of all trades – Internet of Things

We live in a world that is virtually connected, technologically sound and mentally satisfied. Where we usher in the paradox of being ‘wirelessly-wired’ and yet technology has only amplified luxury.

Success

Everybody wants to be successful in their life, no matter what! Being successful has become the ‘in-thing’ in the last few years.  Since a very young age I have also been trained or rather bought up to become successful in life. But what exactly is success and how can you be successful?

The Big Fat Indian Wedding

I have reached that stage in life where oldies at a wedding or any family occasions for that matter, emerge fervently enquiring of my single status. Besides advising my parents on marrying me off at the earliest, their major concern would be on the dowry my parents propose to give me. And

About me

I am Shwetha, and here you will find an assortment of writings. Being a feminist, writer, wife, teacher, traveller and a chatter box, I love to muse over fantasies of life and weave them into something soulful.
