A husband list

Navigating the middle-aged dating game

I turned 46 a few months ago on August 23rd, and realize now that I am middle-aged and have been for the past 5 years. Apparently, it kicked off …

Moonlit

Nothing is what it seems, except for love.

When I was seven, I was raped by my uncle. It was half a rape or a half rape, not sure which one to go with to be honest. These days a slap on …

Holi

Pretty in pink

Holi signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, the end of winter, and for many it is a festive day where we meet new friends, play and laugh, forgive and forget, and repair broken relationships. 

It’s …

Sanctuary

My NY loft. Almost.

Pretty things make me feel good. I can walk for hours on end in museums, roam the streets of Paris, stare at historic buildings and admire ‘Art Nouveau’ street lights like I’m ready to French lick its dark green paint.

From smelling …

Oldskool

Sipping tea, ripping out pages and sticking 'em on the wall...

I was rummaging through some of my old books and magazines and I came across a box labeled OLDSKOOL. My heart jumped because I knew exactly what was in there.

When I was in college I used to buy the latest editions of fashion, design …

Raising men

If I could turn back time and be a bouncy 20 year old again, without squealing offspring keeping me up all night, then I wouldn't.

There were times that I wished I never had children but I didn’t say it out loud. I felt guilty about it and was afraid that someone would call Child Services and have me arrested for thinking unmotherly thoughts. Besides, I wanted to discourage …

Panic

When you want to cry out how much you hate his guts, but you softly weep instead

I have panic attacks. Real shitty ones. I can’t breathe and feel like my chest is being bench- viced to half its size. My blood runs cold and out of my fingers. Then I vomit and my brain freezes, all the while trembling from head to crooked …
Article #009

Girls

Getting rid of a burning sensation due to feelings of hatred because she was prettier, smarter and richer than you.

I did some mean things when I was young and now is the time to confess to it. Not to make me feel better about myself and rid me of pestering guilt but because it might help you figure things out way sooner than I ever did. Guilt and regret …

Rediscovery

Seeing things, again for the first time.

The country I was born in is a beautiful tiny place bordering the North of Brazil. One of the largest groups of people living there, including my family, have their roots in India. You could say that I’m a second generation, Indian Surinamese …

Virginity II

My take on stinky pussy-control.

I am not an angry woman or mad at the world. Not bitter or resentful in any way. Addressing virginity and speaking up about it is my way of offering you a different perspective. Saying what’s on my mind and talking about my personal feelings …
Article #006

War

The balancing act of feeling great about your sagging breasts versus the need to get a new pair. Every other day or so...

I have a full length mirror in my bathroom and I named it Jack. Jack makes me look good. He tells me that I am buxom and freckled instead of plump and blotchy. He cares for me when I won’t and can’t, and he has a wonderfully diplomatic …

Old

How to age gracefully. Sort of.

After the birth of my youngest son, well over 3,5 years ago, I was left with quite the physical wreckage. My belly looked like risen dough with carved out stripes. Hostile, extraterrestrial

Lavish

Abundance is everywhere. You just have to tap into it by saying grace.

No glam today. No filters. No Photoshop. Well, maybe a little but merely to change image sizes and do some other technical stuff but the rest, as you will undoubtedly see, is pretty much untouched. I thought that you might enjoy seeing that …
Article #003

Pretty

Mirror mirror on the wall, who's the whitest of them all?

I am a brown Indian girl. Or am I brownish? A coloured woman? Maybe chocolate skinned? Black, to accommodate those who say they don’t see colour? Asian perhaps? Or don’t my eyes meet the ethnic standard? A median shade of cocoa possibly? …
Article #002

Virginity I

Crowd control at its best.

When I fell in love with N I fell in love with him like most of us do. Orbital and dazzled like he was the centre of the universe and my blinding sun.

We see the good, ignore the bad and use our peaking energy levels to sustain an …

The Whole

A piece of the big magical puzzle.

Dear friend,

In my mind I am friends with the whole world. With you, whom I have never met, with a few imaginary ones that continue to help me through a number of my lesser moments, with some that are now…well, already dead, and …
