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…
How’s life Sona?
I remember my cousin had asked me, “How’s life Sona?” “Good” is all I could say. I had just got my first job; I was excited but had no clue about how my life was. I too have asked people the same question, to find how’s life for others. Most of the time people have…
I Rather Walk Alone Than Together
Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. – Ralph Waldo Emerson. To me to walk is the beginning of a journey. One starts the journey of his life all alone struggling through the long dark tunnel to breath the first whiff of air…
The Green Hands That Make All The Difference
“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 Hands Of An Artist
It is the hands of the artists, that tell the story of their labour and hard work, the story of their misery and exploitation. They are craftsmen, the truth be told they should be struggling to get a new idea or bringing their imagination to reality and not struggle for two square meals for themselves…
After the break
Tomorrow marks one year since Abhay’s passing. People around me have been saying how fast the year went by. Ask me! Nobody knows how the year went away, barring a few very close people. Shubham’s eighteen years of growing up went away faster than this one year. A lot has happened, I’ve learned a lot,…
In love, forever!
Today I share a story that I wrote a couple of years back.Please share an honest opinion whether I can write stories or not? I like it and still don’t like it. Now why would anyone be interested in my love story? Well! For the simple reason that it is the most unique love story…
A happening life, part – II.
June is the month of Union and Intersection for me. Maths! Why are we talking about Sets? Marriage is a ‘set’ of two individuals who come together and share similarities and differences as in a Venn diagram. They are the disparate pieces of a jigsaw puzzle who fit in to make a perfect picture. And there…
A Happening Life, Pt. 1
“Abhay! You have a very happening life. I envy you.” I remember it was one of our family friends who said that and yes, he was right. Abhay always held me responsible for that. According to him, routine was boring for me and I was eccentric enough to turn the simplest of activities into an event….
Chaos in the Kitchen
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…
