My Lazy Girl

I never thought we would emerge so strong that our fears would turn into smiles. Smiles that gave us the strength to cross the miles. Miles crossed with just a smile.  More than being terrified, I was agitated of the fact that I was not able to see the end point of the situation. I was tired of dwelling on possibilities of survival and escape. After two tensed days, I realized I need food. I was hungry. Before I could say anything, Vaishali shouted to break the silence among us. "come let's cook something, Only then our brain's gonna function. We will decide once we have something in our belly. (At times I wonder how she gets me just like that. Bitch she is). Her affirmative words gave me strength to relax my nerves and forget the situation for a while. I gathered everyone in the lobby and narrated them the plan. Everyone nodded in agreement because deep down we all were hungry. Now the question was, Who will cook what? We had very limited resources and e...

Take a stand for yourself. Don't let anyone and everyone drive your life just like that. Drive it yourself. Your way, the way you want it to be, because it's your life. Every time I encounter new people across the globe, it's the time when they feed me with stories and thoughts. Thoughts and questions that sometimes end up framing up into a blog. I don't know the scenario in rest of the countries(as I don't have that many friends abroad) but it is closely observed in India that when a child is born, our respective family take the entire charge from naming the little munchkin to raising him till they can support. Basically if I talk in the words of an engineer, the child is a lifelong project to the family. Where they initially invest in the project with the expectation that they will get good returns(in the terms of obedience, money, discipline and Ofcourse saying yes in their every saying.) Which is justified to some extent. It's ok I mean. It's ...

The problem was still the same. The situation was about to get worse. We didn't have anything but each other. And that's what that matters in the end.  In continuity to the blog... Deadly Water(Unforgettable Calamity  ... "No no no no. No Gaytri no, I just wanna go home. Appa(dad) will be worrying so much. I don't want anything, just my home and family, screamed my roomate (A Tamilian Brahamin) when she analyzed the situation in the morning. She was crying and shouting at the same time. She started packing her bag. She collected whatever she could and left everything else in the room. Her conversation with Gaytari in Tamil floated above my brain but I got a slight hint that one of their friend was coming to rescue them. She threw her maxi on the bed and slipped into a pair of jeans and a T shirt. She then hastly folded her hair into a high bun and rolled her jeans till the knees. She left the room with Gaytari in no time. She didn't said a word to me. ...

Zillion times in a day we do this "OMG" thing with various expressions. Whether we have it or not, everything seems to be problematic for us in the end. From work place to toilets, from pollution to population everything appears earth shattering to us like, OMG what I am gonna do now? Aah... OK, so it's time to give an award. And the nominees are............ Zillions of people breathing on this planet that supports life called earth. Ladies and gentlemen give yourself a huge round of applause while you have the honour of receiving this Grammy award for your life long contribution for yelling and crying over the issues that have been appearing in your journey from past twenty years. Yuhuuu.... Cheers. Yeah yeah. What? Why are you giving what-do-you-mean look to my blog? (Lemme explain my sarcasm.) OMG I have a terrible BOSS, save me. OMG I don't have a work to do. OMG I have so much work to do. OMG I want to leave this place and escape. OMG, I  just wanna ...

I have forgotten the correct address to the purpose of my life. I never wanted to reveal this to you but since you were anxious enough to read between the lines, here I narrate you the paragraph. My dearest of all, I hold a reason for being away since long. Excuses are not entertained I know but here's a request to read this with a fraction of your patience. Thanks for bearing up. You know there were times and there are times when I feel I am sailing in the wrong direction or sometimes I don't even know whether the direction is right or wrong or just floating aimlessly. I am feeling those times, these days. I know whatever I am doing right now is not what  I am suppose to do. But the harder part of irony is, I also don't know what exactly I am supposed to do. (sounds weird? I know.) In other words I have forgotten the correct address to the purpose of my life. I never wanted to reveal this to you but since you were anxious enough to read between the line...

Work is worship, But then it takes time to perform the ritual .  I had a very delicious fruit cake an hour before leaving the office which left me with some good taste and thoughts altogether. [ Tip of the day: Good food leaves you with good thoughts. Choose it wisely. It helps!] As the clock stuck 6 p.m. (IST), I packed my stuff and rushed to find my cab. I tucked in the seat belt and before i could say something, my driver swtiched on the radio as he started the car. He shuffled channels after channels in the quest of good music with less commercials(that's the main agenda I guess.)  Tired by the day, I shut my eyes and let the music strike into my ears effortlessly till something got my attention and woke me up. What I heard next left me with all smiles and baffled thoughts.  A 26 year old guy who was a software developer, homeless & jobless in California was found selling his resume on the roads to random people. If that would have been the case, it wo...

Just relax, breathe. And those who don't let you breathe, choke them up too. You don't have to be a Saint every time.  Right from the moment we are born, we are judged and compared and rated on the basis of our caste, color, height, weight, behavior, character, skills and what not. Now that we are grown ups, we can focus on our skills because that's a major concern in today's scenario. We want everything around us to be perfect. Perfect neighbors, perfect son, perfect wife, perfect job, perfect house, perfect employees. But before making any attempts towards being perfect, tell me something, who sets these standards for you to be the one? Was that you? No!! Was that your spouse? No! Was that your manager? No! Was that the other person? Ahh, Yes! 90% of the problems that evolve and encircle our lives are because of that "OTHER PERSON" with whom you are not even concerned. You are not a "A" band performer. Look at your colleague. H...
