"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 [...]
The Moon
That big white ball In the night sky Takes me by surprise Every single time. It makes me feel So small and vulnerable, Even though it is So very far. That proud luminance In the midst of utter darkness Can stump my pride Like a paper crumpled. A strange symbol Of romance and tranquillity, It [...]
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 [...]

Rejection
We all hate that word. It makes us feel so bad about ourselves. Worse, it makes us question the very intention of why we started out. We all hate rejection. But there it is. In our face. Most of the time. From people we love to things we love to even the smallest, silliest of [...]
We Give What We Have
I'm sure you must have noticed that some people are mostly exuding positive vibes while some are so not. The former are a joy to come across while the latter are dreaded. Why is this? Why do some only give away frowns and not smiles? The answer is that is all they've got to give. [...]
V-Day Run-up: 6. Monica and Chandler
Knew each other forever, Yet it never occurred to them That what they were crazily looking for In every twist and turn Was just across the hall. Maybe, it was the over-familiarity That stopped the other From seeming dreamy exotic. But at times, reality Is sweeter than a thousand dreams. He was her friend Who [...]
