About
So, who am I?
Hey! I'm Anuradha. Younger of two siblings, raised in an average Maharashtrian family by a father ahead of his time and a simply amazing mom. 47 years, 5 home addresses, 15 years of dentistry, 9 years of business, almost 8 of language coaching, and 22.9 years of being on default 'Mom' mode. MeSoFar is what I built somewhere along the way.
Surprisingly, I am still sane.

My Journey
The Story So Far
Hey! I'm Anuradha. Younger of two siblings, I grew up in an average Maharashtrian family, with a father who was way ahead of his time and a simply amazing mom. The diligent student that I always was, my junior college and graduation years were as box-pleated and crisp as my skirt at St. Joseph's High School.
I have changed five addresses in my hometown across almost 47 years. The last 24 odd years have seen 15 years of dental practice (I am a dentist), 9 years in business, overlapping with almost 8 years of language coaching. My professional trajectory has been interesting, to say the least.
Meanwhile, the default mode has been set to 'Mom' since 2001. From Johnson's babies to the birds and the bees and beyond, I have seen my fair share. My 'blue' and 'pink' are both adults now, and surprisingly, I am still sane.
Parenting is not just about what our kids become, it is about what we unbecome along the way too.
The Why
Why MeSoFar Exists
A big chunk of this marathon involves our precious progeny. Over 22.9 years, I have learned that parenting milestones aren't just for children. Most of us are sailing in the same ship, just without the words for it.
The Milestones
I had to learn to turn over, sit, crawl, stand, and talk through them, not once but twice.
The Realisation
Most parents were sailing in the same ship, and so were the children.
The Unlearning
Being sensitive to children's emotional needs meant unlearning conventional methods we were all conditioned to.
MeSoFar
The willingness to change and unlearn does not confine itself to parenting. And that, is its beauty.
What I Believe
A few things this marathon taught me.
Twenty plus years of parenting, professional shifts, and life in general have left me with a few quiet truths I keep returning to.
Milestones go both ways
Parenting is not just about what our kids become. It is also about what we unbecome along the way. It is a work in progress, for both, always.
Unlearning is its own skill
Being sensitive to the emotional needs of children of all ages requires unlearning conventional methods most of us were conditioned to.
We are in the same ship
Most parents are sailing in the same ship, and so are the children. The sooner we admit this, the lighter the marathon feels.
Change is not just for parenting
The willingness to change and unlearn does not confine itself to parenting. It helps us run the rest of the marathon as changed people. That is its beauty.
Our Direction
Mission & Vision
Two quiet anchors that hold this space steady, the why behind every conversation, and the world it hopes to build.

What we are here for.
To create a warm, thoughtful, and non-judgmental space where women can pause, feel heard, and navigate life, relationships, identity, and midlife transitions with better clarity and a changed perspective.
Vision
What we hope to build.
A space where honest conversations around womanhood, relationships, family dynamics, emotional overwhelm, and evolving identity feel normal, safe, and human.
A Personal Note
Hello, friend.
If you have scrolled this far, thank you. Truly. That is more attention than I usually expect.
I did not plan to start anything called MeSoFar. It grew slowly, out of years of parenting, conversations, and quiet noticing. Out of realising that most of us are running the same marathon, just at different stretches, with different shoes, and sometimes a few blisters.
If anything here felt familiar, that is reason enough to say hello. Write, call, message. No script needed. Just begin where you are.
With warmth,
AnuLet's Connect
The marathon is more fun together.
If any of this sounded a little like you, that is reason enough to reach out. No expectations, no agenda. Just an open door, and a warm cup of conversation when you are ready.
