(image sourced from Corbis) It was 8 am only but I was late- the same old story of a poor soul trapped in a corporate world. While I was climbing the stairs to the metro station with a dazed face, something sparkled in my eyes. It was a mix of vibrant colours against the plain … Continue reading Tulsi

Ae Dil Hai Mushkil (O heart! it’s difficult)
It’s been months and I desperately wanted to write something. Searching through some random prompts, I stumbled upon this one- write about a song that’s on your mind this week.

Cost of freedom?
It always amuses me how alien locals of metro cities behave when I tell them excitingly that my parents are coming just to meet me.

And at last I see the light……
I remember how my dad used to try to be extra cheerful on days when he felt low. He tried not to let us know that he is sad and would tell my mom quietly in the night. Sadly, I have not inherited this trait from him. I would sigh, crib, yelp and sulk to … Continue reading And at last I see the light……

Maybe I am too busy to relax or too engrossed to think of something new but today I read few posts on FB that prompted me or rather irked me enough to scribble down my vague but strong … Continue reading I watched PK yesterday and I am not happy
Book Review: God is a gamer
It seems that Blogadda is hell-bent on making me read thrillers but I can’t complain because I loved both the books. In contrast to Private India which focuses more on India, God is a gamer focuses on global affairs. Although both the books are very different in stories and plots, one thing is common- Brilliant … Continue reading Book Review: God is a gamer
