“My thoughts, but mere reflections of my mind,
Create ripples and then more n more ripples I find…”
This blog is an attempt to let these ripples and reflections find expression. I would love the reflections of other minds create ripples in mine too.
Wife to the wind beneath my wings, and a full-time mom to two wonderful kids, I am an Obstetrician and Gynecologist by profession.
Words, thoughts and people have always fascinated me and it is a crystallization of these interests that has led to the birth of “Ripples and Reflections”.
My thoughts are as unique as I am and to that end, this is a place to jot them down, creating a window to my soul. Life is as varied as it can get and so will be my blog . I do not want to restrict it to any specific topic or content. It will change its hue, depth and mood as these change in me and my mind.
I am still discovering myself and life.
Lets walk together, come and join me
Coz I believe “The best is yet to be!”
This is Me on Me:

Hi Aruna — found your blog based on your comments on the Community Pool:
http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2014/08/24/community-pool-78/comment-page-11/#comments
One thing I’ve noticed with navigation is that if I am on this page, and click on the home page —- I am taken to a page saying that your blog has been deleted.
Interestingly if I click on your blog header, It takes me to your recent posts just fine.

I have got one idea for your weblog. It seems like there are a few cascading steehsleyt issues while launching a number of webpages inside google chrome as well as internet explorer. It is operating alright in internet explorer. Possibly you can double check this.

Hi Jennifer! My kids are grown so it is easier to get “me” time! DH likes to watch movies – most of which we have seen at least once! So I go in a corner of the room to do computer blog/chat or reviews! In the mornings I walk or swim to get my day going!
