All is well that ends well. We all love happy endings. In fact, we all want happy endings with everything and everyone. So do we get it? I find the concept of "happy endings" pretty funny. For I don't think that they are possible. Like literally! Come, think about it. If you really enjoy something [...]

Sorry
Five letters Two syllables One small word One big meaning Easy for some Difficult for others Both in terms of Giving and accepting If an excuse, Then nothing. If really meant, Then everything. Can it heal? Not really. But it's a start, So say it. Don't be shy To be sorry. For it is a [...]
Why Just One Day for Women?
Fine, birthdays and anniversaries I get. They mark another full year of an event. But how does one mark a woman's never-ending ordeals, passions and sacrifices? By a day?? Isn't it a bit like being unfair to someone through the year and then going and wishing them on their birthday? For oh, how grateful you [...]
Would You Bet on Yourself?
We often complain that others, especially those we are close to, are not supportive enough for us. At times, we are plain mad about it. At other times, we are too hurt to say anything. But that is how "others" will always be! Either too busy or too difficult or too indifferent and so on. [...]

I spent my life in foreign lands. So many men have tried to kill me, I don't remember all their names. I have been sold like a broodmare. I have been chained and betrayed. Raped and defiled. Do you know what kept me standing through all those years in exile? Faith. Not in any god. [...]
Love Stuck in Traffic
"So, where is he???" I asked, throwing up my hands. "All this time and not a trace of him! I am sick and tired of waiting! Where is the love of my life?" "Think of it this way," said my friend, offering a really weird yet interesting analogy, "Maybe, he's stuck in heavy traffic. Maybe, [...]
Family
Truth be told, no family is perfect. Every member has their own eccentricities and because the others have to live with those for a very large part of their lives, it drives them crazy like no other. There is always so much to complain about. There are always those loud wishes of what they want [...]
So, Anything?
Recently, a question was thrown open to WordPress bloggers as to what they would do if anything was possible. It got such an overwhelming response that a few days later, it was asked again. Even I had put out my views in the form of my post A World Free of Guilt But now when I [...]
