Back from "there"!


It's been a LONG time since I penned a blogpost. Ahem, thanks to the no-talent-only-traffic site I got introduced to that also made small bucks apparently. For every post, view and like they credited a cent to our "bank" and we could redeem it once we reach $ 50. I am not gonna mention the name of the site, I think you know it. I did spend a LOT of time into it, publishing posts like I am making rotis - one after the other (The limit is 10 at the max per day, I wish even making rotis had that limit!). But let me tell you, I did not earn a single dollar. When the trend was hot and people were actually redeeming $50 after $50, I was still getting used to it. And now, I have reached $40 and it is just not inching forward. I have had a lot of patience to make my bank show $40 and now, at this point, I give up. Give up after realizing that this new site in disguise of a demon had curtailed my loyalty towards Twitter and this blog. Kinda not fair man! I should have stuck to writing in a place where people (well, at least 1 person in this blog's lifetime) read it at least, and not "like it" as a favor (without even reading it) for their 1 cent earned when I like their posts back. Ugh! So many good memories are published there that might not even be of any use, except a few likes here and there. I now regret depending on it to make memories. Sigh! I think I am almost over that site now. It needed a while. So I guess I will write more often here on.

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...

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...
