New beginnings.



Guess who’s moving?



I’ve loved my cozy Blogspot home for  two years,  but as I expand and take on more writing roles, I’m finding that the Blogger platform isn’t the best fit for my needs. 

Pretty soon, I will be transitioning to a brand new Wordpress website and I would be delighted if you could join me there. I’m so excited for my new virtual home and all I can accomplish in my workspace. 

As moving day approaches, I will post updates about the new website (you could also subscribe to WittyBean to receive alerts). There’re also a few surprises coming up before the year ends, so watch this space. 

Until then, enjoy your autumn with heaping mugs of coffee. I'm partial to a good Sumatran roast. You?

As always, from my screen to yours,

personally, Pavi.

Valentine's day

We've been married almost 13 years. We're not the limber, young newlyweds - ready to drop everything to run away on a weekend together.

We've seen euphoric highs, and we've shared some crushing lows which only made us grow more fiercely protective of each other.  I used to be impulsive, willful and headstrong. Thought I knew better. Thought I was this larger than life person with intense emotions and eyes full of stars. You know what my husband changed about that? Nothing! He still believes all those wonderful things about me and still looks at me like I'm the most exquisite woman he's ever laid eyes on. He celebrates my passions and holds me safe when life deals me a few b...

To err is human

There is a force on earth as strong as gravity. It holds us ransom, much like gravity does. But it unlike gravity, this force transcends time and generations, casting its dark shadow on entire family trees right from the root to the tips of unborn buds. This force - if it had a physical form; would be black and pulsating, knotted and hideous. It would scar everything it saw and ruin everything it touched. But despite existing solely in our hearts, it causes the same destruction. I’m not talking about a mythological force or a supernatural one. I’m talking about the real and very complex human emotion of prejudice. Or in simpler terms - hatred. Hatred starts innocuously. A passing remark by a parent/ a lazy comment by a teacher. A skewed TV show, a cruel act witnessed. But the child is listening, and the child is watching. And the seeds are growing into ugly saplings, birthing prejudices and intolerance. To an extent, this is unavoidable. And honestly, impossible to prevent....
