Hello December!!! It’s Christmas season (though not such a big deal here) and it’s winter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As I write this post, I take a break every now and then and enjoy the way my mug of hot chocolate warms my fingers. It doesn’t snow here – the part on India where I’m at. In fact, I’ve … More Snow on my Bucket List

  Sometimes, you get a hit from life, a proverbial slap for being naive and for trusting people. I have seen many friends who do not know the meaning of keep your mouth shut. Somehow, you’d expect your friends to be on your side, right? And not advertise stuff. No. It doesn’t happen that way. Nooooo way! … More Keep it to yourself!

Hindsight. Something that makes you realise that everything happened for a reason. The only reason why I still believe things that are not turning out right, right now, are for a reason. Because, always, always, in hindsight, I found that they shaped my life, changed me who I was for the better. Why I say … More Eternally Grateful it didn’t happen!!!

In connection to an old post I once made Really? I did that???, I still am amazed at the way people are so silly! What happened now? Oh man…2 incidents actually. Scene #1 Actors: Me, S & N (Work friends), A (Colleague) S, has been facing family pressure to get married (Welcome to India!) but … More Seriously?!! Again…?

Hi guys….and girls…… I’m not sure I know how to get away from toxic people at the work place. I find myself searching on Google ‘How to deal with mean people’ every now and then. Somehow the options given – ‘File a case’, ‘Complain to the higher ups’, ‘Quit the job’, ‘Change the team’ – … More How to get away?

Hey everybody! Hope ya’ll are doing great. So I’m talking about what happened to me over a long weekend. You know what that means right? Usually, long weekends are for trips, shopping, catching up with friends or movies. But this time I decided to stay back at home and chill. Rejuvenate and recuperate! With this … More Hits me in the feels!

Why bother? Why bother asking me, when you don’t want to ask me? Why bother waiting for them, when they don’t wait for you? Why bother saying you’re hanging out with friends, when you don’t want me to be part of it? Oh yes, there is no worse feeling than this – knowing you’re an … More Time for some new friends…

Because you feel like you’ve been in a place for so long that you don’t remember the time before, but when you actually count it’s just been a few months. That’s how I feel now. I’ve been in this city for 3 short months, but I feel like I’ve always been part of it. With the … More When 3 months seem like 90 days

So what am I trying to get it right? Work, Time, Life in general. I thought I would be the type of person who would instinctively know how time management is done. Wrong! I should have known myself more than others. When I told myself I wouldn’t get bogged down in work, I thought I… More Getting it right

Ah I just love sarcasm. Many consider Sarcastic people to be smarter and some people think Sarcasm is a poor substitute for a correct answer. I honestly think that it a very good tool to escape questions.😀😛 I am not at all good at sarcasm but I am finding out the merits of it in… More The Anatomy of Sarcasm

These are not your typical friendships. You reveal only one side to each one of them. And you are not in a friendship where you share it all or where they are your best buddies. These are the people who are your friends but not friends, acquaintances but more than that. They might stay in… More Somewhere between friends and acquaintances

I am not a Life Coach. I’m just talking about what I would have done Before and what I would do After. This is just to show how I’ve evolved over the years and hopefully the After part sounds a bit mature 😛 When you get a text from an unnecessary person asking unnecessary/pointed questions… More Before vs After

Aren’t there times when you feel like going the other way when you see someone coming in your direction? It’s a challenge to keep moving forward and greet that person as if you don’t know anything, as if nothing happened. Especially when you know just how much that person made things difficult for you in… More Empowered

PC: All pics are from the net coz that’s what Google Images is for! Rumors, gossips…these fuel high school life. I thought I’d left them in high school and I was wrong. During the 2 years of my MBA, I’d think to myself everyday – Am I in high school or a PG class? Because… More Really? I did that???

I am a writer. Not that I have to my credit published novels/short stories. YET. But I am one. Every day of my life, I think about characters, their lives and their behaviour. I honestly do think of ways to complicate their lives. I try my best to make them go through a lot but… More I am a Writer.

What’s this about??? Very simple. It’s another rambling on Constructive Vs Destructive Criticism. According to Google, Constructive Criticism involves offering well-reasoned opinions regarding others to improve them/their outcome in a helpful manner. So basically, you’re trying to help someone out by offering viable suggestions or advice in a friendly manner. But the main point is… More Don’t Let ‘Em!!!

What will you do if you see someone like you – in all the visible ways and behaviours? The way that person talks, the way they blog, the way they gorge on novels – all are so remarkably similar to you that everyone around you calls them your duplicate/carbon-copy or in my case “Junior You”.… More Always on parallel lines

Ah, this is one season I just love. The sky is so dark that one thinks that seeing the sun would mar the vast canvas of unrelenting grey! I have no idea how to describe the colour of the sky as I type on. When I say GREY, it sounds bland. It doesn’t convey how… More Hello June Showers!

It’s a well known fact that adulthood is filled with many nights where you stay awake and feel groggy the next day. During MBA this is every single day. I remember going to bed at 4 or 5 am after working and working, sleep for 3 hours and get up in time for the 8… More The Day After a Sleepless Night

Hello all! I’ve been in this frenzy to convey how Kodai was and what to see there, how to plan for it and stuff like that. This time, I’m gonna outline how you can plan for trips to Kodai. I’ll be doing a One-day, Weekend, and Week-long trip for you all…😀 Assuming you all visit… More Trip Plans for Kodai

I recently travelled to Kodai and had done a bit of reading up on the places to see. However, I found that while many sites listed many places, only the reviews from people made me understand what was in store. All blog posts I saw boasted of stunning views. But since I know the place… More Kodaikanal : A to-do list

Ah…the joy of travelling cannot be rivalled. I was fortunate to be able to visit Kodaikanal “The Princess of Hills” this week. I have to say that the wind was chilly, the roadsides were green and brown, the sun was too bright and I loved every single second. It doesn’t matter that I have gone… More Visiting Kodai

Ask any book lover and they will always say that the book is better than the movie. There are countless memes describing the plight of the reader, where he/she reads the book first and waits with bated breath to view its screen adaptation and how they get disappointed that the storyline veers from the original.… More The movie is better?!

In one of my random ramblings, I thought to myself – Would I be the good cop or bad cop? I mean…if I could choose I’d definitely be the bad cop. If there’s something I’m good at, then it would be using a sharp tone and a brusque manner.Unfortunately, a serious countenance enhances that! This… More Good cop, Bad cop!

Okay…you are walking in full swag in your awesome crop top paired with a tank (Coz you are too shy to expose your belly!) and brand new Van Heusen pants(trousers) down the hallway…and a classmate laughs and asks “Haha…you stole your niece’s top?” And what’s worse is that the guys around laugh with him! You look at… More Of Pants & Crop Tops

Many of us have these degrees of friendship we have with many people. I find it particularly inadequate when you describe friends to other friends. There are only 3 words that I usually use – colleagues, classmates, friends. But it is not enough. Even in colleagues I have someone I like more, talk more than… More Spaces & Circles

Whenever you join a new school/college or go settle in a new place, everyone asks “Where’re you from?” I am used to curious people digging deeper into my background and it’s fine as long as it is curiosity. Huh…its funny when I have to explain why people from two different states can actually get married, why… More Globalized Family

It’s always beautiful when it is new. You always look around, stare, adore and maybe gaze in awe and reverence. Whatever it is – a new place, a new thing, a new dress, a new haircut. It changes you. You actually feel something shift inside you to accommodate something more. Your heart, mind and thoughts… More Newness of Things

I know that V-day is a day where you can say a thank you to that special someone for being …
