“BOOM”

“KABOOM”


The sights and sounds welcomed him. Riding back in to homeland, after good long years in another country, his head automatically turned skywards, admiring the vibrant display of fireworks. He was really back home.

Change and Hope!

I woke one morning with just the usual thoughts; a plan for a warm shower, a plan to finish a book and a plan for a nice nap. But it was not to be. A phone call later I was getting ready for Work.

I have a strange relationship with Work; we meet only once in a while and mostly because a zero bank balance sets us up on a date.

Coffee Break!!

Part 1

The cup of coffee in her hands was still hot. The vending machine was the most sought after in the office. It was also the perfect place for a good bit of gossip and some girl time. Pallavi’s friends were all from different floors and different departments. After spending hours in front of the computer studying project reports, preparing quotes, following up with the site offices and

A tale of two wheels and a CAST!

I knew this day was coming but I did not know that it would be so close on the heels of triumph. Within a month managed to get my Driving license, drive 30 kms a day and crash land from the bike. Yes, Humpty Dumpty Had a Great Fall.

So Dear Me was getting to work. As always  I focussed on looking the part and being a big day et al, spent an extra few minutes on the looks department. Eyes lined with khol, hair fragrant from shampoo, lips shimmering with gloss, cheeks powdered up and a trail of my perfume following me.

A Tale of Two Wheels!

I was always being followed. ALWAYS. But never once did the Moon catch me when I was riding in my Dad's Bike.

Then came turn for me to ride on friend's bikes.

A Train Ride..

Yesterday was a day filled with nostalgia. The morning was busy with not a minute to rest. I had an incessant cough and plenty of chores to complete before catching my mid-day ride.

I was on board the train, drugged, drowsy and tired, fast asleep even before the TT could confirm who I was. After over an hour of being under a Coma, I woke up.

This is not how I usually travel. I bury my head in a book or drown myself in music. I was too weary to indulge in any of them and just decided to look out.

Voila!

The Wedding!

So lots of things have been happening in life. Some trivial and some major. Major being my sister's wedding and trivial being settling back to normalcy post the event.

The wedding was a big thing. She was the last of all our cousins to get married and the youngest of the lot too. Everyone was present, either in the wedding hall or in front of their computers. Yes, we webcast it. It was a huge responsibility as my expert opinion was needed for everything, from the purchase of a safety pin to the selection of the groom. That's right!

After days and weeks of make up trials and accessory shopping, the D-Day arrived and it whizzed past us.

Lots of things happened and lots of things went really fast. I just remember being on my toes
