I waited for 15 mins before I entered. I was waiting for it but at the same time feeling a little skeptical. They finally called my name and asked me to come in. There she was, smiling, just like I saw her a few years ago at the gym. She hadn’t changed. She hugged me and asked me to sit. ...
I have some pretty interesting friends who are great to chat to. This guy and I got to know each other as friends and I have known quite a lot about his life. He trusted me and I trusted him. We had a long chat after a long time and he said he finally has a plan to make his ...
When i was bored a few days ago, a colleague got me hooked onto a silly game called Two Dots. It’s addictive. Nuff said. She and I play and play and play.
He used to call her Chubba very fondly all the time. When he teased her, he called her Manikè. When he teased her more, he called her Kellè. When he texted, he used all the lovy dovy words he could think of. She saw some old posts with comments on social media which made her remember. How time has flown ...
I was excitedly waiting for something planned in the morning and when it got cancelled, I just didn’t feel like doing anything else. So I cancelled everything else and used the energy to do housework, bathed the dog and watched a lovely movie called A Dog’s purpose. It made me cry a few times too. There were pampers and chicken ...
There was a time when friends abroad used to send letters… And cards for birthdays and new year. I miss those times. It was always exciting to receive something through snail mail. Friends from school abroad used to send letters every month and the letters were pages and pages long. I’d reply the same way. Then came email and it ...
I was listening to the radio this morning where the show host was talking about 3rd Gender movement and I wanted to read up and check for more information about it. Lakshmi Tripathi is huge when it comes to 3rd Gender movement in India. There are documentaries on YouTube which was pretty inspiring. The Hijra community in India is huge. ...
When I was small, I took care of my brother. As we grew older, I still did everything but we also hated each other. We fought in unimaginable ways. The most painful were him kicking my stomach and spraying air freshener into my eyes. He was a nightmare, a difficult child. But somehow, he matured and grew After some time. ...
It’s midnight. Meditation lasted two mins. The next half hour was spent thinking about a brown handbag and shoes that I want to get, getting earphones for my phone, the fitness band my bro got me, the neighbour’s dog, my cousin’s dog and about vehicles. Sigh. I’m sure I have missed some out.
I have been feeling unsettled for weeks. Maybe it has something to do with the anxiety attacks I have been having or maybe it’s vice versa. A new place, another new beginning starts tomorrow. I’m not looking forward to it at all. I just feel like I want to lock my door and stay in bed for a few days ...
I try to imagine what my dog thinks based on her facial expressions and actions. Below are a few that I imagined. Imagine reading them in a Queen Latifah tone. 1) When the fridge door is opened she would magically appear from nowhere and sit near the fridge watching what I take. If it’s biscuits or chocolate, she starts wagging ...
Maybe it’s to do with age, or maybe it’s just how I am. My aging brain has accepted that it’s the little things that create beautiful moments and memories as time goes by… Holding hands while driving. Sudden calls or texts showing affection of any kind. Sudden plans to do things, regardless of whether they happen or not as the ...
When I was schooling, there were two girls that lived next door. We used to play every evening except during exam time. We used to play cricket, cycle in the lane, study countries and the encyclopedia and question each other and play card games, carom, board games and watch movies. Birthdays uses to be fun. We always gifted each other ...
Recently, someone said that I see life like a fairy tale.. and that is not right. Life has never been a fairy tale. at one point I was travelling a little over 200km just to get to school across the dessert and it was the most exhausting time of my school life. I had to wake up at 2.30am to ...
That baked cuttlefish is actually quite good? I tried it and it smelled and tasted so good that my vegetarian mum also ate some of it Now that’s saying something! Try it.
In the darkest hour of the night, when everything is still and nothing can be heard, the silence brings out the loudness in my mind.. I hear it more, the pain is more, the unsettled mind tries to find a little peace and a little hope to latch onto… How has life changed for no fault of mine…Or was I ...
We have had 4 dogs before the current one. My favourite was a grown up pom called Sweety that our neighbour gave us because they got a bigger dog. Sweety was always tied up. After school I used to take him for a walk, brush his fur, sit near the gate and watch people pass by with him. I also ...
She waited days.. days turned into weeks… Weeks turned into months… Would he be normal again… Would he txt something exciting.. something affectionate…. Would he call all the time like he used to… That’s all she had to be close to him… Nothing made her day than a nice txt conversation with him all the time, unexpected and expected calls ...
