Random Thoughts....


The resolution to drink water has gone down the drain literally, yesterday, I didn’t have a sip of water the whole day, I realized it this morning, as I took a sip, that too because I was parched…
Sometimes….all I want is an explanation..not an apology…because the word Sorry has lost it’s meaning…


Betrayal – It happens in every relationship, EVERY… It either happens in one big way or in a million little ways..but it happens…

Filled with anxiousness today…A feeling of despair…

My favourite Blue Jeans tore, and it was not in the right place, otherwise I could have flaunted it. “After all a jeans”, commented my friend, “just get it repaired, it would leave a visible darn mark, if you can deal with it, then fine, otherwise throw it”… Hmmm she had a point, in reality our lives are also that, isn’t it? When things go wrong in life, we try to repair it, sure, it does leave a mark.. but it mends, fixes things. Sometimes, certain situations in life are also beyond repair, then what do you do? How much emotional energy can you spend on the same relationship, same situation, same thing? At one point, we have to let it go, and accept the facts, and tell ourselves, that Yes, I tried, but it didn’t work..maybe things are better this way.

Why do schools close for two months? When I talk about this, people say, “have you forgotten your days?”, the point is that I haven’t, and even during my school days, I never enjoyed the summer vacation, because, my parents would take us to religious places, followed by endless hours of saree shopping, and visiting relatives, I always thought school was better than all this torture…

Was watching Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna (KANK), what I didn’t understand was, that both Dev and Maya had good spouses, who were supportive, especially Maya..then why were they not happy? And what attracted Maya and Dev to each other? Fact that they both had failed somewhere? Dev couldn’t fulfill the role of a breadwinner and Maya couldn’t have kids.. Does failure bring people closer???

Watching Pyar Ke Side Effects..Its a cute movie, I liked the pairing of Rahul Bose and Mallika Sherawat,
This is the only movie in which I ‘liked’ Mallika.. My friend and me watched this movie in the theatre, leaving the kids in the care of their Dads..It was a girls time out..
_________________________________________________________________________________
Wondering aloud…is it just kids who need to grow up????
_______________________________________________________________________________
Wondering..why some songs make you feel ‘different’, I recently heard, “Pehli baar”(slow version) from Kaminey, wow what a song..beautiful lyrics, it just transports you to your lovey dovey days of first love/crush…

I don’t understand why in Hindi teleserials, the actresses don’t change into night wear, don’t the producers have enough money? Isn’t it a misdirection? Even if they are conservative families, they can possibly show them wearing simple saree or salwar, minus the jewellery…ridiculous…

Let's be un-real..

Open up social media these days, my page is bombarded with all these posts on real women. “ A real woman is someone who smiles when she wants to cry” “A real woman’s strength lies in her nerves of steel”. “A real woman never gives up”. “A real woman puts others needs before hers” “A real woman endures it all and never complains” I am getting tired of these posts.  What defines a woman firstly?  I mean, why are we desperately trying to create a mould? Is this our come back on male strength?  If that is the case, then we are being silly, because there is no comparison of a woman's endurance with a man. The world knows it. The universe has aligned it like that. If a woman decides to go out and have fun with friends, is she un-real? If a woman wants to go shopping, is she un-real? If a woman feels like eating out and not cook, is she un-real? If a woman puts her needs first while taking care of others, is she un-real? If a woman wants to ...

Friday Rumblings...

After a long time today, I made myself a cup of tea, lots of 'adrak', added jaggery since I quit sugar. My maid was on leave, celebrating a festival, otherwise everyday she is responsible for my tea. Growing up in Delhi got us used to the 'adrak wali chai, doodh kum, patti tez' (translates to strong tea with less milk and lots of ginger). When I got this maid, I taught her how to make tea this way, and since then she stopped liking the 'milky tea' she used to make. 10 years now, she makes it better :D. If I share this with my mother, she would be shocked, that her daughter who once wouldn't enter the kitchen, is now sharing 'how to's' with others. Well, that's my mother, its been 14 years since I actively started cooking, started when I was pregnant, but, even today she loves to just share stories of how I wasn't interested in cooking ever. It's the favourite family discussion topic. From making the comforting dal chawal to bakin...

Decade old Mother..

About 10 years ago, on my way to work, I stopped at a chemist shop and bought a self pregnancy test kit. I reached the office, logged in, went about my routine, waiting for my team to settle down.  A couple of hours later, I went to the washroom to take my test. My worst fear came true, the result was positive. I was pregnant. I just didn't know how to react. I cried. I was so scared. I didn't know what to do, whom to talk to, whom to call- Nothing! My mind was blank. I walked up to my Manager and told him, I needed to go home, as I wasn't 'feeling' well. My husband traveling helped, as I didn't want to answer any questions. I reached home and I cried my heart out, something I couldn't do in the office easily. After that, I threw up. Why did I cry? I cried because I was torn between keeping the baby and keeping my job. I did not understand at that time, what was more important. I knew in my heart that I could not leave a child with a maid and work peaceful...
