My mom’s daughter!! (it’s not me!)


A forgotten dream it was, to my mom; to have a hearty laughter or to pause for a minute to see what we were doing, as kids. With the hectic schedule she had pushed herself into; it was unimaginable either to her or to any of us to even think of her sitting leisurely.  She …

Lift under maintenance


Five minutes had passed. I was still laughing with another friend of mine. We found it strangely funny to be stuck in the lift. Eerily the very previous day I had read something about getting stuck in an elevator and people’s panic-attacks at such situations. I had not even imagined that it would happen so …

WATER, WATER… EVERY….NOWHERE!


I woke up one morning. It was brightly sunlit. Nothing could beat the cool breeze on a sunny morning. I was all game to go through that day. With a smile, I put up a brave front to enter the hostel bathroom which, as one might guess, was stinking. I could see a few sunken …

Religion…


“There is no start nor an end to religion” is a quote anonymous. but so apt it purports to be, when we understand the real meaning of religion. We are always on a quest. About life, its meaning and its purpose. Man understood that the purpose of life was not mere living, but it was …

To be emotional is human!


To mark my come-back after  a long-long time, here’s a poem I wrote today.   Don’t get too happy, they say, Don’t get too sad. Don’t get excited, they say, Don’t be bad. Not to be happy when things are so good, Not to be sad when I’m misunderstood, Not to be enchanted by the …

Thus everyone had made their waiting spots, their home. The wait was indeed cumbersome. But we were all kept engaged, we got to watch a lot of …

When Shyam found a “sui………….” note!


“Dear World, There are times when you feel you are on one end of this word while everything and everybody else is on the opposite side. You feel desperately alone, awkwardly depressed and unfortunately alive. Every one of us would have had such situations at least once perhaps many times. Some times this feeling is …

‘Giving up’ Is not an option!


Have you ever heard someone tell you that you are bad at something? Has anyone called you a loser? Has anyone made you feel you are worth nothing? This would have happened to everybody at least once in their lifetime. So if someone says you are fit for nothing or if they call you a …

That’s What Happens!


I entered the place. Everybody was seated. An air of fear-mixed-sorrow had filled the place. A few Long, a few sad, a few tensed and a very few calm faces were to be seen. I waited till it was time to start my performance. I shouted loud at the people seated there. Few paid heed. …

On a warm rainy Friday!!!


Almost every other person I talk to loves rain. Some say “Oh it’s so romantic” and some say “it’s so enjoyable”. But I hate rain. I rather hate its timing. I don’t know if it’s just a co-incidence but it always troubles me. I like rain but only when I am at leisure and am …
