That's an Indian Mother!

12:10 p.m.
Message beeped, 'Class at 7 o'clock a.m. tomorrow'

'Mumma, tomorrow class at 7 in the morning. I don't want lunchbox. I'll have something in college.'

The next day.
I wake up at 6:15. Get ready till 6:45.
My mom woke up at 5 o'clock, busy preparing my lunchbox. At 6:20, she hands me my tea while making my lunch and simultaneously doing 3 more chores.

I shout, 'why do you do this? I told you I'll have something in college.'

She replies, 'Jab tak mai hu, mere haath ka khana kha le. Fir nahi milega.'

That's an Indian Mother! :)
God bless every mom in this world.

God bless you, stranger.

It was raining heavily and roads were filled with lots of water. I was driving from my office to home at around 8 o'clock. Traffic signal turned red but due to rain, vehicles jammed up. Thankfully, I was on two wheeler, so I figured out my ways through steep gaps between cars and then, bump!!!

The front tyre of my vehicle got stuck in a pothole and signal turned green. Hell! Every vehicle started honking like anything. I was so terrified by the sound that I couldn't even think of any solution. I tried all my strength to pull that damn tyre out but all efforts succumbed to nothing. Just then, a guy on his bike stopped and helped me to pull out the tyre out of hole. He even waited to ensure that I was fine and my vehicle was in working condition.

I thanked god for sending him. There were so many people, sitting in their cars and honking madly but none of them took the pains to come out and help but thanks to this person. He strengthened my belief in humanity.

If I were a movie character.

No, not 'Geet' from 'Jab we met'. I consider myself a little more mature than her (okay, just a little, fine now? )

Anyway, this one title matches me in the most appropriate way and that is
Aisha Banerjee (Konkana Sen) - Wake up Sid

I am exactly the way she is..

1. I live life on my own terms.

2. I want to move to Mumbai (my love) to pursue my dreams.

3. I love writing.

4. I wish to have an apartment like hers: cute, albeit small but my own. And I believe her theory of doing my own work.

5. I am a Bibliophile, a lover of books. To me, smell of fresh books is adorable.

6. I love Art and interior decoration (those cute li'l things)

7. I also have a journal like hers, the only difference is I don't carry it everywhere :P

8. I totally screw it up when it comes to Love

9. And the tattoo.. absolute love <3

Your presence is still indispensable.

Although I write stuff personal as well as professional, but this is the first time that I would let anyone read it.

We Indians often dedicate our new beginning to God, I dedicate my this start to that one person who has always been there for me, showered his blessings on me, taught me the difference between right and wrong, who has made me walk on my li'l toes- my dad!

People often say that life moves on, no matter if your loved ones exit your life. I surely agree but I also agree to the fact that the incompleteness of life without them could never be neglected. There hasn't been a single day when I have not missed him and my life still holds that hollowness which arose when he went away.

Daughters are closer to their father, they say!


I still remember the day I cooked my first chapatti. My mom was yelling at me, "Look at the shape. Is it Australia?" When I served it to my dad, keep aside the chapatti, he was proud of me, realizing that his cute li'l fatty daughter who once bounced towards him when he returned from work saying, 'aaj kya laaye aap mere liye?' is now a grown up. He kissed my forehead and handed me shagun. His soul felt pleasing just looking at me. I can never forget the smile on his face that day.

Even now when I look back in time, I cherish those cute daddy-daughter moments. You'll always be missed, always!

People... Realize the importance of your loved ones because when they go (God Forbid!), they leave an indispensable void in your life.
