My Lazy Girl

Remove the mask of flawlessness and diplomacy. Shed the fears of getting judged. Don’t shy away to smile in your ugliest form. It’s always fine this way. I know by this time everyone’s waiting to change the calendars on their wall. It’s the second last day of this year and everyone is engrossed in making plans of what needs to be done and how it needs to be done. While other half of the population might be wondering which car, property, shares to invest in as their pundit ji might have forecasted the expected behaviors of their Raahu and Ketu(all about astrology u see). Basically all the people I am encountering on my Whatsapp, Facebook and Instagram are busy planning for 2019. It’s a new year after all; we all need to prepare for it. Going to the already over loaded, over priced clubs and bars with layers of makeup paired with the painful stilettos and cheering up in the crowd with bottles of beer is something for the kids now a days( what’s the point of screaming whe...

Even if the entire trip comes out to be a spoiler, We still manage to get some decent photos to showcase them to people. Right? I might be wrong, I ain't sure. But what if.....  In this entire 2k18 I had been trying to go on a holiday at some place or another but each time I decide that this month I am surely gonna go,it was always a flop show. By this year end I got so agitated with my self and surroundings that I could not hold my irritation level and decided to post on this. How sad and annoying it feels when you make plans and it gets dismiss like anything. But this sad thing that has been happening to me continuously forced me to understand the hidden phenomenon behind it. Here's what I got:  * Sooner or later we all plan for a holiday but why do we even need it? By this I remember the words of my father. In my school days during summer breaks, I used to be so excited to plan a summer trip with family. Sometimes we used to go, sometimes we don't. But my f...

Even if we have complicated issues enclosed in our laptops, we can still smile with a cup of coffee in our hands and slay the look. We are engineers after all.  Something happened this weekend which offended to the core. How can someone comment about my job just like that. In 365 days of calendar, we celebrate one day or another. We have Doctor's day, Teachers days, Aids day, Mother, Father, Children's day, Independence day and then our very own Birthday as well. Celebrations goes on. But one profession which is totally ignored and is un appreciated is that of an Engineer. Being an Engineer myself, it feels really disappointing. IT people do not have any day other than Saturday and Sunday. I don't know why people carry a different mindset for us. For an instance let's just say.... For our families : We are those free birds who are enjoying their freedom in different metro cities and if not controlled on time, we may slip out of their hands. ( now according ...

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 ...
