“It takes sunshine and rain to make a rainbow” I’ve read this quote a lot of times and in bad times it has proven to be a sort of inspiration for me. But what if its continues to keep raining? There will be no rainbow for sure. If there’s one thing that is certain, then only rain would result in chaos. Wondering what I’m […]
Come Monday and like a lot of people, I become sad. It is not that I hate Mondays in entirety but after a couple of days of resting or doing what you want to do, Mondays become a little difficult to deal with. I blame it inertia! Trust me, things are most likely to go wrong on a Monday morning! I’m someone who takes enough […]
Was it my story? I wished it was! It had a lot less pain than my life. No one knew the extent to which I was hurt. Though I was crying each day from within I had to put on a “I’m okay” face and go about doing my job. I wish I had someone to talk to, but I had none. All those memories […]
I took out my camera and clicked a few pictures just to ensure that my camera was working fine. Lily had managed to find us seats quite close to the stage. And the shrinking violet arrived and I was obligated to click some pictures of her. It felt weird though. Back in college, I was supposed to be her senior and here I was clicking […]
The more I thought about it, the feeling of having made my worst mistake by agreeing to get this book published grew. I was nervous and I really didn’t know what I was going to speak. The event manager of the publishing house had briefed me about what was going to happen. An introduction about the book and about me, reading a few paragraphs from […]
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 […]
I’m back after a tiring day at work and while I wait for dinner to be prepared, I pick up my cellphone and I go to have a check on my online life. I begin by checking for social media updates! I scroll through the endless pictures on Instagram, double tapping the ones that I like. There are pictures of beautiful travel destinations, yummy […]
From the always enthusiastic Alana, I’ve now become a lost Alana! Our lives mostly flow on a fixed course. Yes, there are little diversions that we need to take occasionally but even then it usually follows the same old path. Birth, Education, Job, Marriage, Old Age and then Death. The stages are the same. We have our dreams, our hopes and our aspirations. But […]
I looked at myself in the mirror and I liked the way I looked. In fact, for a moment I couldn’t believe that it was my reflection in the mirror. The gown was a beautiful one and it suited me well. I got into the nicely decorated car and we drove to the church. “Congratulations!” That is what you want to say right? […]
I look at my bank balance and worry lines begin to form on my forehead. It is just the 15th of the month and there is barely any money left. Bank balance reads Rs. 1000. I search or rather hunt in the pockets of all my old jeans, open all bags and purses with the hope of finding some money. But what do I find […]
