Sunday to Sunday… there’s a lot that can happen in just 7 days! From a wedding celebration, to a required course of hospitalisation and treatment to a leisurely lunch with friends that are family… you have to let go to experience the many shades of life! #Thankful #MyNewNormal #OneDayAtATime #SwitchOnTheSunshine
Took me a while to get used to having little hair. But once that set in, there was no looking back (literally!) 😄 It has been months since I’ve even needed a ‘trim’. So, during the @bazaarindia shoot when @mickeycontractor said that I needed one, my first thought was, “Really??”. Before I could react, he was all set – armed with an eyebrow scissor, ready to go at it! I couldn’t stop smiling. Never thought I’d get a makeover of sorts like this, but I guess it’s #MyNewNormal.

The idea was almost preposterous. An almost bald head, barely any make-up and a huge scar was not the norm for @vogue. But, I guess that’s my new normal. Of course I had my reservations, and, if I dare say, insecurities – but a candid conversation with the lovely ladies @priya_tanna and @anaitashroffadajania cleared my doubts. And before I knew it, I was standing in front of the camera, ready to uncover my new reality. The icing on the cake was the fact that I needed one-third of the time for hair and make-up😄. So I closed my eyes and jumped into it, full throttle, and this is the result. Thank you, @meghamahindru for telling my story; and thank you @ridburman for understanding my story and saying it so beautifully through your lens. If there’s a piece of advice I can give you all after this, it would be to ‘Find your new normal’. It’s very liberating.

Another kind of outfit and another kind of accessory… just a small pit stop from the roller coaster we call life! Back home and back to #MyNewNormal #OneDayAtATime #SwitchOnTheSunshine
Information, awareness, and action.
That’s what I needed during my diagnosis, and I believe everybody should have access to. Our hospitals have the critical amenities and affordable facilities needed. But not a lot of people know about it. My conversation with Dr. Puri at #CAHOCON2019 revolved around this issue. Thank you making me a part of this amazing dialogue.
There’s no one way to tell how our experiences change us or shape us. Not all transformations are visible, but they will always leave an impact. What I’ve learnt is to never let it hold me back. I would rather dress up and show up! That’s how I would describe my day, shooting for the @bazaarindia cover. Had a great time talking to you, @sanjuktasharma; thank you! I love the pictures, @tarun_khiwal! Thank you @mickeycontractor for working your magic on me. @nonitakalra, this is special – thank you!😊
My journey is neither easy nor unique. But I’ve realised that sharing my experience is an emotional yet liberating feeling for me. It helps me stay focused on what needs to be done… Spoke at length and had a great conversation with you, #ShomaChaudhury. Thank you for having me, @india.today!

Over the years, I’ve realized how special it is to have someone you can lean on. When they have been with you through all those highs and lows, it gives you the freedom to be yourself. That’s just the kind of bond I share with these amazing women. They’re all successful… they’re all courageous. Each one of them shines through their unique personalities. But it’s their constant support and encouragement that gives me the confidence to do whatever I wish to do. I’m really proud of my #GirlGang and am extremely happy to be spending not just #WomensDay but also every day of my life with them. I love you all!😘😘😘
P.S.: I’m pretty sure that even 50 years from now, we’ll be the group of women causing trouble around us😆😆😆
Guys, please welcome the newest member on the book club: #LilMissIcy😄! I’m pretty sure that the love for reading has rubbed off on her too, because she joined me in reading our book this month, ‘Jet Lag’ by Ann Birstein. We finished the book in one go and for me, it was as intriguing as reading it for the first time. Important subject; intelligent writing. Have you guys finished reading it? #SBCBookDiscussion
In an ever changing world, it’s difficult for mothers to keep abreast about everything. The one way to better prepare ourselves is to learn from each other’s struggles. I believe these experiences are crucial. Sharing it with other moms is not only a quickfire way to keep updated but also to share your struggles with those who understand what you’re going through. We received a ton of stories from mothers all over the country. While some reiterated the importance of some ‘me time’, others spoke about the pressure of having to ‘know it all’. But the one common sentiment was that, parenting is a collective effort. A mother should be able to say #MujheSabNahiPata / #IDidntKnow without feeling guilty. So to get more mothers involved in this dialogue, I spoke to some tough moms who accepted that they didn’t know it all and bravely shared their stories. You too can inspire other moms to speak. So don’t be afraid to share or to ask… because honestly Mujhe Sab Nahi Pata.

Mothers are always expected to be the ones with answers to every question. Under pressure we do forget the simple gesture of ASKING for help. We also tend to forget that sharing what we know, helps another person learn from it. Not having the right solution every time is not an imperfection, but a part of the process of how we grow and evolve. While, I enjoy sharing my stories and experiences, I’d now love to hear your stories. Share it with me and let’s proudly say #MujheSabNahiPata #IDidntKnow

I can’t seem to put this one down! I’m only halfway through and ‘The Familiars’ by @staceyhallsauthor has kept me hooked throughout. How far along have you all reached?

I once saw my grandmother tie a knot on the tail of her saree’s pallu. As a curious child, I asked her why she did it. She said she couldn’t remember everything all the time, so this knot would keep reminding her what she needs to do. I want you to also do this today. Tie a knot and take a pledge to share your #MujheSabNahiPata #IDidntKnow stories. Your story could help another mother be better prepared. I nominate @ruchitarambles and @chandrama_poetry to tie the protection knot and share their stories #MujheSabNahiPata @allout
#SwitchOnTheSunshine wherever you go. Thank you, #PriyankaArora and @ficci_india, for such a wonderful conversation! Always a pleasure to come to Hyderabad😊
#HarpersBazaarIndia @bazaarindia 😊
This day is so special! Two years ago when I started the book club, I didn’t know that your love would become such an amazing source of strength for me. We’ve seen so many new things happen in the last year and it only gives me the widest smile to look back at it all. Can’t wait to explore all that is in store for us! Here’s to more reading and more conversations! Happy 2 years, you guys! Loads of love!

What a book this was! The Familiars by @staceyhallsauthor was – as they say – an ‘unputdownable’ book. I’m really looking forward to our #SBCBookDiscussion, for which we’ll have the author with us too! Don’t forget to tune in with your questions tomorrow at 1:00 pm IST.
