Trying to be a woman of lesser complains and more of gratitude

Was secretly hoping that torrential rain would get me out of my orthodontist appointment Alas, my doc’s discipline > Mumbai monsoon. Off I go now. I hate orthodontists 🙄

One of the best shows I ever saw. Parizaad is a show that needs to taught in drama schools. While this comes from across enemy border, I just wish we make films without love stories thereby allowing fresh concepts. This scene of piano purchase is beautiful!

One of my favorite scenes. Realistic depiction of husband-wife quarrel over kids 😜 #filmbuff #funtweet

This weekend starts with good vibes and competitive solid shots. Game is on!! #weekendvibe

We don't make films like this anymore. Strong women characters with depth, grace & elegance. This scene from the film Sabrina (1954) played by Audrey Hepburn comes to my mind. #filmbuff

Finally getting my hands on a long-pending read for this weekend (and the next)! Started reading, "The Beauty Myth" by Naomi Wolf.

Better late than never. Retractions are often seen as a taboo, but it is an essential feature in science publishing. "Arsenic life" paper retraction is a bold example and sends a clear message to all scientists. #scientificintegrity

Torrential rains in Mumbai. Almost all roads with heavy traffic.

Raining cats, dogs, and a couple of hippos here in Mumbai. Weather is amazing now. Thankfully, my raincoat and boots are doing more rescue work than the BMC! #MumbaiRains

Some sanity on my TL. Brilliant colors of chemistry!! I miss #chemtwitter

I have a lady acquaintance who constantly posts reels of her children across SM. In an age of digital footprints & shrinking privacy, many don’t realize how risky this can be. Kids deserve choice in their online presence. Not everything needs to be shared.

One of the most comforting films. I remember my PhD days when our entire group went to watch it together. Also, since the film is shot almost entirely around the SoBo area, it’s one of my personal favorites. :-)

Watching Turkish drama Endless Love (Kara Sevda) and just 10 minutes into the first episode and I witness excellent chemistry between the lead actors. Storytelling at its best with beautiful actors on-screen! Highly recommended! #KaraSevda #EndlessLove

As a leader, making tough decisions is part of the journey. Standing firm is key to moving forward. That implies rooting out rotten weed through transfers or terminations. For women leaders, clarity & courage required for these actions is more pronounced.

This is scarier than Saiyaara breakdown 😄

Interesting talk titled, "New electrophiles, strategies, and catalysts for cross-electrophile coupling" with Daniel Weix. Join the session in the evening at 7.30 pm IST. For more information, check the main tweet #chemtwitter

Let’s see your “Bird” photographs

I have zero threshold for lazy people at work #rant #Thursdayvibe

Heavy rains lashing Mumbai and I am loving it! #MumbaiRains

Beautiful song. Someone please make me stop listening to this song on loop now 🎧 #BasEkDhadak Looking forward to watch this film for the actors!!
