Mother's Day Gift from IGP.Com

We spend a considerable time online and tend to get immersed in digital trends surrounding us. So when I saw everyone getting excited about Mother's Day, I too decided, why not send mom something on the occasion. 

But gifting something to Mom is a tough decision for she has all that she needs. Right? Or not?
A friend suggested IGP.Com a gifting portal which has a host of gifting options for various occasions.

Launched in 2001, IGP is India's leading gifts website.Indian Gifts Portal (IGP.com) specializes in flowers, cakes, chocolates, personalized products, festival merchandise, kids, home & living and fashion categories

It also ships to multiple locations across the globe including the United States.



I went through the website, unable to zero in on to the perfect gift and browsed through the various categories for an ideal gifting idea. They have multiple categories based on the usual format and also classifications based on occasions like birthdays, mother's day etc. Basically, all the stuff has been neatly laid out and you can zero in on something without much hassle.

That was when I found a great baking set from Treo. I recalled, how mother had talked about baking pies and the need for a perfect dish to set and bake it.


The set contained a Treo baking bowl with lid, a cute looking baking glove with polka dots and a matching mat. The price seemed reasonable and I decided to go for it.


However, the order was delayed by two days. The good part was, I emailed IGP's team and they were quick to respond. I received a follow up from them, ensuring that they have contacted the courier team and the support person also shared courier details.

The personalized messages are cute additions but they made me a ms. which is sad. But the good news is that Mom loved it and is already researching for the pie recipes. I even suggested using this set to make walnut brownies, which are my favorites. Let's see how things cook up, of course, will keep you all updated.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Sex without intimacy: A Spill the Tea story about modern loneliness

Tara meets someone through a matrimony broker. They quickly decide marriage isn’t on the table, but spend a night together anyway. What follows isn’t regret or drama, but an unsettling emptiness. Over tea and samosas, she tries to understand why physical closeness left her feeling more alone than before. Spill the Tea: When Closeness leaves You Feeling Further away The tea was too sweet. Tara noticed it immediately but didn’t say anything. She sat on the verandah chair, one foot tucked under the other, the plastic creaking every time she shifted. She wore a black cotton top with sleeves pushed to her elbows and denim shorts that left her knees bare to the evening air. She didn’t look uncomfortable. Just slightly unfinished, as if she’d left in a hurry. Between us, a steel plate held two samosas, already cooling. The chutney had begun to darken at the edges. She broke a corner of the samosa. The crust flaked onto her plate. She dipped it into the chutney, carefully. “You know,” she said...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
