2017 has been an incredible year for me. I feel like I found myself all over again and I truly wasn’t prepared for how I would feel about me by the end of the year. Most of you reading this would agree with the fact that we, as women, tend to get lost in our […]
We’ve been traveling so much recently that all my latest blog posts are on travel tips. But since modern parenting is the heart of my blog, I’ve been thinking about what particular aspect to write about now that the travel posts are done. And then it hit me! While I was going through photos of […]
Growing up, my plan for my life was very clear. I was gonna become a journalist, travel a lot, never get married and no motherhood. My parents never put any pressure on me. I was never told about any rishta. My dad would politely tell them she’s too young or she has to settle down […]
Hello there! The new and improved Raising Karma Blog is now up! Thank you for being so patient and I hope you like it as much as I liked putting it together (barring a few times I banged my head on the wall!) 😉 I will keep fine tuning it over the next week […]
I love outdoor parties… They’re easy to set up, decorate and clean up! That’s why when it came to planning a party for Karma’s 2nd birthday, we decided to go with a Garden Tea Birthday Party theme.

Finally, I got the time to write my DIY tutorial for gift tags. There’s a lot been going on – Freelance work, re-arranging the house, designing Karma’s own room etc – and hence, personal blog kinda took a back seat. But I’m here now! So if you remember, we threw an outdoor garden tea party […]
Our daughter Karma turned two recently and we threw an outdoors Garden Tea Birthday Party for her. We went all out this time since both sets of grandparents were attending along with lots of cousins and close friends. One of the things I was most excited about were these chocolate wrappers that we designed, printed, […]
Karma got two vaccinations yesterday and was a little under the weather today. It’s really tough entertaining a sick child… She didn’t want to play with any of her toys or do any activity. So I went digging and found this great idea on the net. It’s a mess-free painting time-pass that is not only […]
