Snippets........Somethings we come across in our day to day lives...


A friend once said, "for Godssake, wearing Jeans is not considered fashionable", to which I replied, "Thank God that am still wearing something that suits me". By the way, Jeans is the best fashion  invention ever. ;)

I know a lot of people, who are very good at preaching, they can go on and on and on about their philanthropic  nature, and how they teach their children the importance of sharing, the next minute you would see them fighting with their maids for 100 bucks, and their children doing everything BUT sharing. Preaching is easy.

A person once told me that my maid works for me, because she is scared of me, and I thought, in liberated India, where maids make more news than even celebrities, I definitely must be a cut above the rest, to have a  maid who works for me out of fear ;)

If charity begins at home, so does racial discrimination.
Fact: dusky models are the most wanted ones in a fashion industry, because of their features and flawless skin. ;)

If one had to go by facebook updates, about others lives, they would always find that their friends lives are better than theirs,. There is always a difference between fiction and reality and thats the reason why fictions are best sellers, nobody wants to accept reality.

I have seen parents teaching "values" to their lil ones, and screaming at their parents and inlaws in front of the lil ones... Thats a nice epitome of values..I must say. Maybe they don't have enough doors... ;)

A woman clad in a simple churidar-kurta can look like a million bucks than a woman clad in skimpy clothes. Stylish doesn't mean wearing the clothes that are in vogue, even if you look silly in them. Being stylish is about attitude. 

If one had to purely judge by looks, then Abhi-Ash would have never been together. Aren't compatibility and mutual understanding, trust, respect the main ingredients for a successful relationship/marriage?? Nobody is interested in couple gossips unless you are a celebrity, that is why Ash's pregnancy is a national news, and not every other Jane who is getting pregnant. :D

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...

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...
