Phew! The A to Z Challenge for this year is over! For those of us who took it up, April has been crazy. Crazy is an understatement, for it was crazy multiplied by 100 times! From choosing that theme to writing each of those posts, from changing the post titles a zillion times to not knowing what to write, from reading a lot of posts […]
Dear Diary, I am really happy today. I’ve finally completed the first draft of my book. Do you remember that when I was a little girl I told you that I wanted to be a writer. As I grew up, this dream was lost somewhere in the muddle of examinations, degrees and work. It took my a while to realize what I wanted to do. […]
I think life works in strange ways. Most importantly love works in stranger ways. Do you think some philosopher said that? Yes, you are right. That philosopher is none other than Alana, the great. Do you know how I came up with that line? No prizes for guessing. I think I’m love! No, wait I don’t think that I’m love. I know for sure that […]
“I still miss him, Alana” “Whom?”, I almost screamed. “My ex-boyfriend”, replied my friend. “But it has been over a year now. Haven’t you still gotten over him?” “Its hard.” “I know that it is hard. But didn’t you tell me that it was for the best that you were breaking up?” “I did. But no matter what I said, I still miss him” “But […]
Facebook reminds me that it has been 7 years since we’ve been friends or more like friends on Facebook. Yes, we became friends long before we became Facebook friends. And now we are just Facebook friends. It is sad how times have changed. I look at all the pictures of us over the years that Facebook has picked up for the video. Those first days […]
I thought that I had made up my mind. But little did I realize how difficult it was to stick to that decision. I had convinced myself that I would chase my dreams and turn them into reality and the decision that I had made was taking me closer to it. I was proud of myself for being courageous to make a big decision. […]
Not all days are the same. There are some days when you feel all pumped up, with energy oozing out from your body that you want to conquer the world. Things seem to be going your way and you are very happy about it. And then there are some days when you are depressed. Nothing seems to be going right and everything seems like a […]
And “Mom, my friend is getting married next month. Shall I wear that pink saree for her wedding?” “Forget about the saree. First tell me when will you get married?” “What is the hurry Mom? I’ve just started my career. Give me some time.” “Aren’t your friends also of your age? Aren’t they getting married?” “Yes. But I don’t want to get married now.” “Look […]
A Saturday morning. Being one of those lazy kind of days when I didn’t have to rush to office nor have grand plans for the weekend, I decided to back to sleep. Though I tossed and turned on the bed, I couldn’t get any sleep. The weather was cloudy, slightly gloomy for the sunny morning that I prefer waking up to. The wind was more […]
I switch on my laptop, open a Word document and I begin to type. I don’t know what I am going to write. All I know is that I will write. This is a decision that I have made. I can’t keep postponing achieving my dreams. If there is a time when I must begin working to achieve those dreams, it has to be now. […]
