Saturday's dog and a squirrel

We get two days of holidays in a week to balance the rest 5 days of work (Few of us get one). Quantitatively its not a healthy work-life balance of days but then one can't help it. "We trudge on each day, carried in our mini transporters to the zoo of caged workers typing away the black into the white and cribbing on a daily basis. The zoo keeper has not fed us enough, the zoo management does not...

Journeys

I. A journey of loss You are at Valley of flowers completely astounded by the majestic beauty of the nature. Every kilometer you  trek ahead, colours keep changing due to change in flora around. You click pictures, try to capture the immense beauty through your camera (a camera u have possessed since long). Suddenly, the camera slips and falls out of your hand into the deep valley. You feel...

Don't seek sense....

Well, I met this guy in a train. He was reading a book and I had nothing else to do than to disturb him. He had a girl's picture as a bookmark, so I thought to disturb him by asking him whether the lady in the picture was his sister. He got stalled by the question and replied indignantly that the girl was his first girlfriend. I found it very creepy- first girlfriend's picture as a bookmark. But...

When love was in the air

Reema once told him that the world was getting even more ridiculous everyday and thus even if hope ran out someday humor never will. So whenever humor ever tried to run away from his life, he delved in nostalgia of all his days when "love was in the air" for him. He had a habit of becoming utterly stupid when in love that he needed no other comic than his past to make him laugh.  Most...

Random Letters

Dear men, We all seek to have as many women as possible but in life it’s not a question of having the greatest number of women, because that’s too superficial a success. Rather it’s a question of cultivating one’s own demanding taste, because in it is mirrored the extent of one’s personal worth. Remember, my friend, that a real fisherman throws the little fish back into the water. With love, vC XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Dear...

Dear Diary

Dear Diary, It has nearly been four years since I last wrote to you. I read my last entry and realised how good and virgin my life was then.(Don't laugh on my use of word virgin). But I was a student then and life was like being in the Beatles’ Strawberry Fields where everything was unreal and there was nothing to get hung about . But then I changed three cities after that to finally write to you...

Kundera, a consultant, Friday and an ideal girl!!

My friend stores in his cellphone only the photographs of his ex-girlfriends. And of only those girls who were externally beautiful (I can't comment on the internal beauty because I am not aware of it).By externally beautiful I mean they had nice features, large eyes, pointed nose, pouted lips, thin-long neck,good jawline etc. And every time he met a new girl he showed them the same photos of all...

Everytime I go home

Hailing from a small town is just another thing, but visiting it after long is an experience -a hilarious one though. You witness the slow pace of life compared to the cities, the bondage amongst the people and the vast growing urban-rural divide. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Everytime I go home, my mom takes me to an astrologer who...
