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…

Take it easy policy...

A friend walked in, to have coffee, her house also is empty by 8 and so is mine. So sometimes, we catch up for our lil tete-a-tete over coffee. Talking about coffee, I have turned the American way, I now prefer black coffee to white. Well, the first cuppa is with milk. Her Mum is an amazing baker, she had sent homemade peanut butter cookies. So, my neighbour was generous enough to get some for me. I made the famous South Indian filter coffee, and we plonked ourselves on the couch. She seemed a lil disturbed, so after a lot of prodding, she finally asked me if I thought she was obsessive about being perfect. So I instantly said Yes! And she was shocked, she said how could I have known that about her, as I have known her only for few months. So I laughingly pointed out at certain incidents and told her that I have a penchant for observing people and their mannerisms, and I can't help it. We laughed, then she asked, but what's wrong in doing things perfectly? I told her nothing, ...

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...

Humanity is my religion

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit. Khalil Gibran Ever since I understood the nuances, of life, relationships, God etc... I realized that I didn't like the categorization of people because of their religion. For a person, who totally believed in humanity first, it became complicated when my grandparents did certain things because they belonged to a particular religion, or, because in the Hindu (read: Brahmins) culture, it has been passed on from generations.  The silly superstitions like - waiting for 5 minutes incase a black cat crosses your path or not to ask "where are you going" to someone who is already at the doorstep. Or, not to talk or touch the maids as they are 'untouchables' and more used to irritate me.  The rebel inside me refused to accept the religious practices in the name of God! "So, who is God for you?" I remember my G...
