Sizzling Six


Okay, so it's been around five years of our knowing each other but lately we have been having kick ass experiences as a gang of six girls. Guys kept coming and going to be a part of the gang but what really stayed on is us, the sizzling six. You might think I'm going a little too much on the self-flattering side by telling 'sizzling', hell, no. The reason being, no matter what we did in the campus (or sometimes what we did not do) was blown out of the proportion and we were praised/blamed/looked upon/looked down upon unconditionally (One does, the rest gets the credit/otherwise by default). Even though we dressed normally, it stood out among the crowd in the not-so-posh-crowd campus. Yeah, like normal girls, we had issues with each other but that mainly was based on other's opinion than our own.But, sooner or later we learn to forgive each other's small and big mistakes. 
             And yeah, talk about the crazy things we have done!  I mean six girls set out for a long drive all the way till the Bangalore International Airport all by ourselves when the whole city( and our parents) was asleep! We danced till we dropped dead at a Club. We went to the Palace Grounds during Navratri (festival) and had an awesome dandia (dance form) night.  And we are a bunch of six mad girls at sleepovers. 
                  We can talk any random rubbish from a topic picked from anywhere, and debate about it, laugh about it. As six, we are strength. We don't need any other company to entertain us. Cheers!

Minus Them Lifelines

So, here’s the thing…our lives have been largely consumed by technology. We are able to work, stay connected, and stay entertained – thanks to the internet and smartphones. Now, let’s assume, hypothetically, phones and internet seize to exist from tomorrow. Scary isn’t it? What could be the repercussions? Here are some of them from random angles:   Television Kids would watch whatever cartoon runs on TV, adults would watch either cricket or news, whatever comes on TV. There would be absolutely no preference or something like Netflix and Prime that used to exist -watch on your whims and fancies. Burn in hell!!   Food You would cook whatever you know, or learn (like not to burn the roti) eventually. No step by step recipes to read or watch and try out. No home delivery of food, get your ass to the restaurant and get takeaway, you would rather have your food there, right?   Parenting You would not be able to feed the kid by playing the SAME effing video that wo...

Will India be better for women in future?

Recently the country was begrimed with a documentary ‘India’s daughter’ with regard to the nightmarish incident that occurred in December 2012. A girl in her early twenties was gang-raped in a moving bus in Delhi - this is what I knew. Rape cases - I get to hear or read about it often.  I do not know to what extent the documentary was polished, but one thing was sure - I was outrageous to listen to what the driver, Mukesh, and the defense attorney had to say. I was immensely disturbed mentally, so much that I was in depression for the entire day till I had to force myself to cheer up as I was going on a vacation. Even there, those baseless and harsh words said in the short film were haunting me like an evil devil. I wanted to write about it and vent out my anger on the whole issue but could not bring myself to do it then.     To think of it now, what the defense attorney (I have no clue why you even need a defense for this crime) said spoke the minds of most ...

Short Story

Okay. So, I gave an entry into this short-story writing contest (June 2014) at  http://ellefictionawards.in/ I know I shouldn't care about winning or losing. Anyway, sharing the story here..sit back and enjoy! PS: I have changed my cousins' names. It is 90% real story with a lil bit tweaking and garnishing here and there.  PS: It is supposed to be an attempt at writing a funny-but-heart-touching story. I'm really sorry if you didn't laugh or/and if it didn't touch your heart while reading it..I'm an amateur, you see?  So here it is.... Plan B ‘Duh!’ she exclaimed when I asked her if I should add tomatoes too to the experimental Biryani . It had turned out to be blah (I hadn’t added tomatoes). Sister and I had spent a fortnight managing the house all by ourselves while parents were holidaying in the US. And yes, she had to put up with my amateur cooking in spite of the fact that we could always do the prudent act of just climbing up the stairs an...
