Love the women you aspire to be. My mom is 72, living alone in Chennai. She's friends with all the 520 residents in a 540 apartment complex. Morning walks, shopping, lots of talking with youngsters, she leads a busy life.

All our mothers lead such complete, independent and inspiring lives it is amazing. They are the strongest breed of people.

I read this first thing today, and I am so energised. I want to be like all these women and another - you. You write with an ease and lightness that is very refreshing. You will be all these women and the best version of them. 🌷

"I do want to become a writer and I think the only thing stopping me from becoming a famous one is a nice swivel chair, a comfortable reading sofa, a typewriter, a couple of good lamps and a cozy room with a big window overlooking the ocean somewhere on the Cherai beach in Cochin!" - This made me laugh out loud (snort actually, let's be honest).
