About

Hi

A warm welcome to Womanatics.

In a poetic way, the following jumble of words describe me well..

How did you find the word Womanatics? What does it mean? 

I was blogging at www.therunforlife.blogspot.com and one day I decided to have it own, a website I mean! I did some mental exercise to find a suitable (a unique yet rememberable yet short yet new yet different yet easy) name and came up with really good ones only to discover that some smart souls have already taken them. Then I began a coin-a-new word game and found Womanatics. 

To me, Womanatics means woman and romance.

Tell us a bit about your family. 

I live in India with my husband (whom I fondly call Mr. Thinker!) and my pretty, petite five years old daughter Pahal. We moved to New Delhi last year from Andaman and Nicobar Islands where we lived for four years. My stay in Andamans comprises of many fond memories which I have gladly documented on blog in the following posts.

I am very close to my siblings and you can read more about my family in these posts.

What do you like? What are you hobbies? 

I dote on my family and I have a close, wonderful, small circle of friends who have been with me through thick and thin.

My hobbies include reading books, watching movies, travelling, having long, meaningful conversations and meeting new people.

You can read my favorite books movies here – Book and Movies

What is your take on beauty and the latest beauty fads? 

I sincerely believe beauty is skin deep. I have dealt with inferiority complex for a good part of my life. Thankfully, now I am quite confident and proud of the way I look. You can read my journey of overcoming my inferiority complex.

I feel it is essential for a person to embrace the way one looks and the skin she is born with. I practice natural beauty treatments. I am going to write about them very soon.

What have you studied? I read somewhere that you also worked with IT? Why did you quit? 

I studied engineering by mistake and got placed with a reputed IT firm that made me realize how I am simply not made for a computer job. Moved to another job as a software engineer where my client suggested me to ‘study marketing’ as she thought I should put my communication skills to a better use.

Thus, I went to Netherlands for MBA to move away from IT and do something of better interest. Came back to mother land, hunted few jobs and understood how prejudiced Indian employers can be. Joined another reputed IT company to be able to pay back the education loan and waited for any opportunity to quit it. In the meantime met a wonderful man, who is now my adorable, loving companion for life, and quit the well paying, corporate job to build a family and a home with him.

Why did you develop Womanatics?

Primarily to share my experiences with you all.

I built Womanatics as a platform to confess, share and write. It is primarily about being woman and even the general posts have a woman-ly perspective to them. I welcome you all to this abode and share thoughts that you otherwise may find difficult to talk about.

It’s been four years since I took up blogging and Womanatics has come a long way. I have found some amazing friends in my readers. Your love, comments and emails are my only incentive and your kind words only keep me still hooked onto the blogging. Else, given the Aries that I am, I would have quit blogging long ago. 

How do you know so much about relationships and marriage? Do you ever fail at them? 

I know about marriage because I have been married for more than six years. I know about relationships because I DO TAKE MY RELATIONSHIPS SERIOUSLY. My relationships with people around me are the biggest asset that I have.

I fail at them too, just like everyone else. There are times I am cranky and rude and mean to the people I love. While these tendencies used to struck me occasionally, I have become wiser and saner with time. I have realized that good people are the biggest blessings we can get and we should never lose them. Keeping this in mind, I do not take them for granted.

Whatever wisdom I acquire while trotting along the path of marriage and life, I share it on Womanatics with you all. I intend to help you all live a happy life blessed with lots of love. I hope you join me on this journey. 

Can I ask you a question and seek your advice on a personal matter? 

While I am not a therapist and nor an expert, I still try my best to help my readers with whatever knowledge and experience I have. I get lot of queries everyday from my readers where they share their personal problems with me and I answer them on Ask Womanatics.

You can send your doubts too and I will answer. I love hearing from my readers.

Don’t worry, I keep the identity of the person anonymous.
