Some love letters

In the midst of CRAZY news gathering.
In  the middle of changing houses and reporting for lost ATM card.
In the thick of things with a parent suffering stroke ...

When all seemed down and out...and stressful to the core I came across two writeups that uplifted me. One talked about small things a family does or can do in their vacation and another one on one's daughter.

I am sure you'll love both of them. A word of praise for Natasha Badhwar, the HT coloumnist who writes on her three daughters often. On other occasions she writes on her mixed marriage, love and small adventures of life. Read her online. She is simple, lucid and very gentle in her writing.

and the other one is by Ravish. He writes on the birth of his daughter and on people's reactions. He challenges the whole phenomenon of putting the girl child either on a pedestal or absolutely rubbishing her. What he does most beautifully is point out the politics of language. How we discriminate by giving a GOD size compliment!! Read on. Its very well written.
