Hey! So Glad You're Here.

Masala is the mixture resulting from the blending of various spices in South Asian cuisine.  You make masala by mixing different flavors, colors and tastes.  I love the analogy of approaching life a bit like the process of making masala-a blending of cultures, and experiences that hopefully result in the unique taste that is life. 

 

Awhile ago, I was at a training for work and was asked, "who are your people." I answered, my people are little, rambunctious curious, ambitious, joyful, wild-eyed, brown and always late.  While later it dawned on me, that I did not see any of "my people" represented in the social media sphere who I could fully relate to.  So I thought I'd share what it is like to be a first generation South Asian working mama of 3 mixed children trying to raise kids to be aware of their cultures and "their people" all while just trying to survive the day.

 

I hope I can share some of the nuggets of wisdom I have learned over the years of having 3 children and working. All the opinions here are my own and based on my own trials and tribulations.
