Pages From Serendipity is 12 years old!
What I had started as a means to kill time, in 2010, is an integral part of my life now! From philosophy, paranormal, and spirituality, this blog has slowly metamorphosed, over the years, to relationships, motherhood and parenting. When I look back at my blog archives, I am able to map that it’s not only the ‘what’ behind this blog that has undergone changes, but also the ‘who’ behind it has continued to evolve.
With writing, I recognize how a form of expression can be liberating;
With writing, I come closer to my thought processes everyday; and
In writing, I find a life-long companion!
Well, coming to the point,
Who is Writing?!

The words on this blog shall speak the rest!
If you are new here, here are a few sections on the blog you can start with:
The Mr. & The Mrs. – The Evolution is a series on marital relationships, which can give you touching insights into the evolution of a love relationship. Beginning from attraction and all the way up till ‘the death do us part’ moment, each of the posts in the series takes you through significant love stages of life.
Motherhood Emotions is a blog series of 26 posts to drench, relish and cherish in the emotions of motherhood. From baby blues to motherly love, from disorientation to frustration, this series brings to you the warmest realities of motherhood.
The Things that matter to Children Their apples can be blue. Their oceans can be pink. Their cars can sail on water. Their spiderman can go to school. In their world, reality doesn’t matter. Because, it is their childhood! Because, they are children! This is a series of 26 posts to emphasize on the things that matter to children – things that may not necessarily matter to the parents for their children. At the end of it, as parents, we would take added interest in their stories behind their scribblings; in their eagerness to get wet in the mud.
DIY Science Experiments for Kids A list of 26 DIY science experiments for 6+ year olds, spanning subjects such as Earth science, Human body, Everyday physics & Chemistry, and Plants. You can also get the full series of our video blogs of the experiments here in our YouTube channel.
Instilling Social Equality in Children Irrespective of how we were raised and irrespective of our perspectives of the world and people, as parents we have the choice to raise our children to grow to adults who value non-discrimination and inclusivity. A thought-filled series of 26 posts to begin a parenthood journey towards social equality. The series was also published as a eBook available for free download here.

My pleasure and so genuine of you to leave a comment here. Sure, this blog is waiting for your clicks again. Good wishes!
Pretty cool introduction. Will be checking your blog for more. 🙂
That’s an honour from a 14k+ blogger. Thanks.
you spoke as if you read my mind.. same thing happened with me.. its not just the content which has changed but also the writer!!
very good
thanks
Hi Shazia,
Ha! No, I didn’t read your mind 😆 Probably a part of all writer’s journey – from writer’s block to writer’s knock 🙂
I really doubt if these changes I am enjoying now could have happened if I hadn’t started this blog, if I hadn’t started writing. While I write, it’s like the mind and the heart have a conversation with one other to come to a mutual agreement which otherwise remains an unsolved conflict.
Honoured for your time to write here. You have a beautiful pink blog with good varieties. Good wishes!!!
Wonderful, Keep writing!
Thanks Juliet! Exciting to see another blog with the same wordpress theme. Looks like my sister blog 😉 Good wishes for all your writings.
Hi Nandhini,
Your blog is really wonderful and I am going to be a regular visitor and enjoy your peppy writing.
All the Best
Keep Blogging
And yes, forget about getting into a straitjacket of a writing theme – variety is the spice of life.
Regards
Vikram

That’s kind of you, Teny. Thank you very much! Do note that I will be donating this Rs.750 to Akshaya Patra which is exactly the amount they need to feed and educate a child for a year. You can check this link: https://www.akshayapatra.org/onlinedonations
I will be doing it on your name. Please give me your email ID. They will send you a receipt of the donation for the 100% tax exemption.
lovely blog! you have quite some talent to write about so many things! I fail at writing about such varied topic….Great going Nandini! 🙂
Thanks a bunch! It’s much easier to write about varied topics than to sustain a blog with content on one particular thing which you are doing absolutely great at Jaipur through my lens. Loved going through your blog. Thanks for your time here, made my day 😀
Nandini you are quite right. With my blog the topics are varied the only condition is that it should relate to jaipur. Till now I haven’t found any constraints. there’s more to write than what I’m able to
🙂
Thanks for following my blog.
