Belated New Year Greetings…

Happy 2015 everyone!!! I KNOW I’m incredibly late with my well wishes and extend my deepest apologies, however since I became mobile again, my time has been filled with pleasures I’ve missed staying cooped up at home:-) At this time of the year I cannot help but reflect on the previous year, what worked for me, what needs to be sharpened and fine-tuned to improve the quality of my life and what needs to be crumpled and burnt to embers! 2014 was a tough year – it started full of hope and promise, ...

there is always SOMETHING to be grateful for.

This might be the end of my bunion recovery updates – however the Sweet Life of Sumi Singh will continue to deliver bigger and better happenings in 2015. I hope you stay with me for the ride…

Book Review

One Day - David Nicholls I bought this book over a year ago and never quite got down to reading it. It truly is a travesty of book justice that I’ve been sitting on a gold mine, never finding time to get lost in it. Well - better late than NEVER! This is the first book I’ve read by David Nicholls and I wasn’t too sure what to expect. The cover is sensational as I have a penchant for eye-catching books and this one happens to be in my favourite colour (orange) and I understood why I chose it ... Read the Post

I grew to adore Emma and Dexter’s hilarious banter, distinctive personalities, failed career choices, even their flaws. A rollercoaster of emotions overwhelmed me as I chuckled over their wise cracks, covered my eyes and squirmed at the tight spots Dexter found himself in, utter frustration set in when they could not figure out how perfectly suited they were and the finale shocked me to the core.
