From Crawl to Run: mPath Finds Its Own Place
It was bound to happen. A kid grows up, learns to scramble eggs without burning them, saves a little, and suddenly they’re renting a tiny apartment across town. They’ll still drop by for home-cooked meals and mom’s pep talks, but they’re officially on their own. That’s the story of mPath Services, and why it’s now…

mPath Services…now on YouTube!

Where in the World Are You Reading From?
They say your thoughts can travel far—turns out, so can your blog. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed something fascinating: people are reading my posts from all corners of the globe. Countries I’ve never visited, time zones I can’t keep track of, and cultures I’m endlessly curious about.

Drinking My Own Kool-Aid: Introducing mPath Services
There’s something powerful about hitting “publish.” Not just because it sends words out into the world, but because it quietly demands accountability. I’ve been writing this April series as a challenge to myself—to show up consistently, to lean into vulnerability, and to reconnect with parts of myself that often take the backseat in a busy…

One Year of Hyphenated Homestead: The Blog that Didn’t Quit
Exactly one year (and one day) ago, on December 23, 2023, I did something miraculous. No, I didn’t discover the meaning of life or finally master the perfectly round chapati; still working on that btw. 😁 I started a blog—Hyphenated Homestead—and here’s the real kicker: I stuck with it.

At some point in our lives, we all benefit from the support and strength of our community. For me, one of those communities is the St. Louis Marathi Mandal (STLMM), a cultural non-profit that has been a pillar for Marathi-speaking individuals and families in the St. Louis area.

Y2K, remember anyone?
Launching into the New Year with first week of my blogging journey under my belt, it’s only fitting that I pay homage on this 12/31/2023 – reminiscing about how I navigated the Y2K frenzy during my inaugural New Year’s Eve in 1999 in America. For all you young cats who weren’t rocking the cradle during…

Digital Transformation – making it real, for real users!
This is a true story. And I like simple stories. So, I was on my annual doctor’s visit ‘to get stuff done’ while being on #COVIDvacation just a couple of days ago, when my doctor said: All the while, sharing my health chart line-by-line to make sure we do not miss a thing beyond the…
