My BFFs


  We could be celebrating (hypothetically) seven years of friendship now! These two girls mean a lot to me. The beauty is that no matter what they do, right or wrong, I dont go all judgmental (even in my mind). And I feel the same thing when I tell them my sweet secrets and dark secrets. So I dont think twice before sharing my life with them. The best part was the fact that we stayed so close by that we could meet up almost daily. Way back in college, when we used to go to the same tuition, meeting everyday was mandatory anyway. So, we had to meet at one place at around 6 45 in the mornings to go the tuition, to which we would walk. And, the walk! It would hardly take five minutes but it felt like a long fulfilling walk where in those few minutes while we walked to the tuition. All the things that happened  the  previous day would be updated in that little promenade. Laugh like lunatics, comment on each and every person or even animal that pass by us. We even did Maths assignments together. And the colony where we used to take our evening walks, that historic bench we sat on (We  sat on the same bench all these years!) , vaguely watch the guys play football in the ground that was in front of us, and talk everything and nothing. The future, the past, the present. Even the silence when we sit there on that bench is relaxing. Just watching the colors of the sky and watch it get dark and watch the mosquitoes begin to bite us. Thats when we decide to head back home, and it would take an eternity to reach the gate where we are supposed to depart. 
                      Now, seven years later, we have reached a stage where it is almost impossible to make our bench meeting happen. We are busy with our lives, and we are busy nourishing other important relationships with time. We can no longer go on evening walks just to grab a paneer puff or wander away aimlessly. Whenever we find time we end up having sleepovers because we will have a zillion things to update.I 'm just so happy that they are a part of my life. Our adda will remain historic.Cheers!

New Beginnings

Nov 8th, 2016 - This day was creating history in the west and the east for different reasons. In the west, Trump was winning the presidential elections and there was an uproar in social media and WhatsApp. Well, in the east, India went berserk with Modi's announcement of demonetizing 500 and 1000 rupee currency notes. I did not have any of those notes, I hardly keep cash with me. I was lost in a pool of muddled thoughts. His reaction was priceless, he hugged me so tight and started crying. That moment onwards, life took another twist altogether. So this was it. A new beginning to a relationship of hate-love that began a decade ago. It felt like it was meant to be. We were happy.  Look, I am not that chick from 'Shopaholic and a baby' who shops like crazy. Mine was a bare minimum, or I think so! First in my list was to buy flip-flop with fur to use them at mom's place - as the floor there is so cold always! ...

My Travel Stories - Dandeli!

This was around two years ago, we were a group of 12 girls who went on a trip to Dandeli, in Karnataka, India. We were a gang of friends, friend's gang of friends and so on. It was a very short trip but was the most thrilling trip of my life so far!! We did a lot of activities like kayaking, nature walk and so on  but the most dangerous and adventurous one was river rafting in the river Kali. We were all set with life guards and paddles. Till the last moment I was convinced that I am not doing it, and if I do, I will not finish it alive. The River Kali looked so full of force and vigor. My friends convinced me to go for it, and I could not believe how I ended up in the line. That line - waiting for my turn to put a signature on a sheet of paper that said they are not responsible if anything happens to me, including death. Wow. We started off, and the guide was a bold and young guy who took the responsibility of twelve young ladies in their early twenties. LOL. I'm saying this...

Daddy Greatest!

That familiar honk of the car at the familiar time of the evening marks the arrival of daddy and sister or me run to open the door to "Yaaru Beku?" to mock him. That familiar time of the morning when he leaves for office to sit in the car while mom gets ready, and sister or me goes "Daddy! Change the trousers. NO contrast." We have grown up being associated with this organization and it is strangely beautiful that most of them are like family friends even though we meet them infrequently. Those games and celebrations on Independence and Republic day at the office, those picnics, those cultural programs to most of which mom used to sing for invocation- it was all an integral part of our lives. And Bam. Suddenly time flies and it is time for superannuation. It has still not sunk in that coming Monday, daddy need not / will not / should not go to the office. I mean why? How time flew so soon? Not fair. I had a call with sister be...
