Last Monday was a wet, wet day and luckily there was nothing much to do. So, I sat browsing through past chat history on WhatsApp and found what a friend had said, “There are many places that I want to visit, certain places….Places, I want to go to which I have read about and want to…

No, this post has nothing to do with the movie but is about the first lion in my life. I have many Leos in my life, and they all are very special to me but this one is the most special. He is the true Lion King in my life whom I met as soon…

I totally agree with Airtel’s tagline, “Har ek friend zaroori hota hai!” True, friends add a very special dimension to our personalities. There are friends who are just friends, more than friends, are family, more than family and then there are those who mean everything to you. But each of them is important, because they…

“Shall we plant an Ashoka tree in Papa’s (my father in law) memory, since we are going to the Inner Wheel Forest on 9th?” I asked Abhay. “Why, the Ashoka tree?” A counter question in response. “Because Papa’s name was Ashok, so an Ashoka tree would be an apt one to plant.” “Going by that…

The past few posts have been serious and too much of anything has its repercussions. So, today we talk happy and sweet mixed with loads of humour. Happy, because Shubham’s landed his first international assignment to work as senior programmer for a first person shooter game. Sweet, for I share a recipe with you all…

The idea for this book came last year. The letters were collected for Shubham’s seventeenth birthday and were to be compiled into a book. The gift got delayed by a year but it is finally here. A big thank you to everyone who contributed to this book, from the title on the cover to the…
