Just got back from a weekend in Pune. Managed to get down there after four whole months, though my mom and brother live there, my dad drives down from Bombay nearly every weekend to meet them, and its just a three-hour drive away...speaks a lot for the crazily hectic lives that we live!

Which reminds me of this really interesting article in this month's L'Officiel, where Sangeeta Wadhwani, the Features Ed, writes about the "Superwoman Syndrome" of the New Indian Woman, who "...lives between deadlines, a web of relationships, the gym and the kids," thereby spreading herself way too thin for her own good. Found so many echoes of my life there. Sangeeta, true to form, refrains from treading the traditional, cliched journo pathway of criticising contemporary lifestyles and painting all of today's women as victims, but instead takes a hard look at reality, accepts its and suggests ways of coping. Quite a refreshing change!
