Life V2Kid Summer Knight’s Dreams… Summer of 2008 was so special. This summer, I saw the most beautiful dream and also got the worst heart aches.

Personal V2My affairs with… I told you once how I had a crush on a little kid’s dhoti. Today, I will tell you about my own affairs with the great Indian Dhotis :) *** First time in my active memory when I wore one was when my Upnayan / sacred thread ceremony was done. We were half [...] PoetryNaye Patte…आज शाम को देखा पुराने पेड़ पर नये पत्ते.. *** वही पीपल का पेड़ वही शाम वही घर और वही दुकान वही हवा और वही फ़िजा वही ग़ज़ल और वही हम *** पर पत्ते नये रंग नया कुछ खास है इस बात मे इस शाम मे *** जब मै थका तुम आए? पर पत्तों [...] ThoughtsWeak… When I was fiveI was very wilfulWhen they didn’t give me that toyI cried for daysAnd didn’t take foodBut I didn’t feel bad… When I was twenty fiveThat girl said she didn’t like meAnd my heart bledFor daysAnd nightsand daysBut I anyhow survived… I am eighty fiveAnd my son says one harsh wordAnd I get heart attack!And [...] NatureBeen there, done that The dream hunter About one month back, it occurred to me that I should fulfil all my dreams, no matter their size. I told you how I went to watch a movie at Eros near Churchgate; it was my dream of 2 years. Then I went to see the Chhatrapati Shivaji museum (earlier [...] Life V2Happy Puppies :) The locality where I live in is a mini-Gujarat; it has a large population of Gujaratis and Jains. I love it :) OK, I love to see the men in dhotis going to the temples in the early mornings (and some times their young kids in cute little dhotis too), their [...] Storymother bird… Your comments on the previous story had a pattern. You all felt sad… very sad… But you didn’t look beyond the obvious… Did you wonder how the author felt while writing it? :) The story was not that gloomy. In fact, it raised so many questions… When someone hurts you, you can fight back. [...] Storymy kiddo… It was 4 O’clock in the morning. She got up, shook her feathers. Her kiddo was sleeping in peace. He was such a lovely kid. Her two other kids were killed by vultures two days back, only this one survived… He was the weakest, so he didn’t move out of the nest when they [...] DaysSmoking desires… In offices, working for long hours without a break becomes boring. And that we were allowed to have tea and coffee in our cubicles, it didn’t feel good to have group-tea sessions four times a day. So we, the office colleagues started looking at our rescuers: the smokers :) Only one of us [...] मै किट्टू हूँ. अभी मम्मी ने कहा है कि मै एक पेज राइटिंग लिखूँ. इस लिए मै आप सब को ये लिख रही हूँ. वरना मै अभी टॉम एंड जेर्री देख रही होती…आज बहुत मजा आया. हर सॅटर्डे को मै और मम्मी मार्केटिंग करने जाते हैं. आज सुबह से बारिश हो रही है. मम्मी के [...] MumbaiFew strong people…and a weak system… As Sneha Kale (20) rushed to catch the 12.24 pm Kalwa local at Byculla after giving her psychology exam on Monday, she had little idea that her life would change forever within moments. Like hundreds of other commuters, the second-year physiotherapy student tried to force her way into the ladies’ compartment. [...] Personal V2MemoriesThe Jain Muni… I studied in Intermediate (+2) then. In those days there were no platforms like blogs where you could share your views. I had developed a hobby of sending letter to newspaper editors and also got published quite regularly. I even gave full postal address in the letters which got published as [...] Life V2Confident: and how? “Is she really confident?” I wondered. “If she is, then why does she use swear-words?” I asked. “I don’t know, but she is damn self confident”, was the reply. I remembered reading a book on Body Language, which revealed how superficial is the confidence of those who ‘look’ like so. The [...] MumbaiIndiana Jones @ Eros Two years before, when I got a job interview in Mumbai, I was not decided if I wanted to join in there. One of my friends and colleague convinced me that I should give it a try. And during our talk, he told me some really interesting stories about life @ Mumbai.
