The day, I trusted my life with you,  The day, I said, I do. My heart shed a happy tear, And I shunned all my fears. Brick by brick, smile by smile, This voyage took us many miles. You always reckon what's inside, Even when I try to hide. Sinking together in these mellow ties,  Let's promise each other. As good a father you will be,  You'll help me being a good mother. You are my pillar of strength,  The roots of my family tree. Together we'll paint a picture,  Picture perfect it will be. Finding you seems like a fortune, This world is now so new. We all have our own angels, And I have found my angel in you. *This is a work of fiction. **Image Source - Here

My mouth waters whenever I read the word 'Sale' in newspapers. Over the years I have developed a kind of friendship with the Sale Season . It is the Spring of my life and when there is no sale, it sounds more like an Autumn . During those autumn days, when how to lift my spirits sounds more like a Paheli , online shopping becomes my guiding light. In true Bollywood ishtyle, it spreads the bandwidth and hum into my ears - Main Hoon Na … And as a Bollywood addict I fall for the fantasy. How could you possibly escape the deals on those sites? Those deals which give Ranbir Kapoor a run for his performance in Rocket Singh and undoubtedly emerge 'Salesman of the Year.' I can't stop clapping on their deals and buying what they offer… My latest indulgence, most memorable too, which actually left a Diwali (Diwala) impact on my husband's wallet is a tiny book, Macbook so to say. People give fancy words to almost everything these days, you see. A blogger who recent...

Of late, I find no solace in the name of Allah, God or Christ. Witnessing the shredding rituals of sorrow, history of a thousand years lay naked. The colors of celebrations spattered in crimson, as if, were never sacred. When a bomb goes off, I ransack the tidbits,  spring clean my mind; unfolding the corners, for solace I wish to find. But, all I hear... a war panning out in distance, war for money, war for oil,  or is it a War for Pride? In the name of Allah, God or Christ,  We all stand divide. Now I shed the cloak of religion,  in it, I wish to soak no more. But dear humanity, remind yourself, of unpalatable truths; with time, you harvested as you sow. You authored chapter after chapter- Jews, Muslims, Sikhs and no one was spared; all died, rich, poor and innocent. Learn from history; Let love be the guiding light, Bring the silver lining of happiness to cherish forever and ever. Let your ...

Hooting, whistling, screaming, falling like a pack of cards within, That's how my body feels when we are skin to skin. Turn off the lights, let the music sink in, Drive me crazy and let the night begin. Image Source - Here

ले के दर्द सीने में जीते है , तेरे गम में नहीं तेरी याद में हम पीते है ! अब नये दोस्त बना लिए   मैंने , तेरे हर ज़ख्म छुपा लिए मैंने , वो जो छलके तो ही हम जीते है ,  तेरे गम में नहीं तेरी याद में हम पीते है ! रात  भर   याद आती ही   रही , बस एक बात सताती ही रही , तू क्या जाने क्या क्या दर्द हमपे बीते है , तेरे गम में नहीं तेरी याद में हम पीते है ! इस इश्क में एक बात तो  हुई , ज़िन्दगी से मेरी मुलाक़ात तो  हुई , क्योंकि होकर मशहूर ही दीवाने जीते है , तेरे गम में नहीं तेरी याद में हम पीते है ! ले   के   दर्द   सीने   में   जीते   है , तेरे   गम   में   नहीं   तेरी   याद   में   हम   पीते   है !

Congratulations! In fact, a big round of applause for all those who survived the hiccups of the biggest merger of all kinds –  Marriage . I bet, now you have a  rock solid foundation . Naturally, the pebbles, stones and brick(bat)s that came your way in earlier days are now pushed hard under your feet forming a steady platform. Standing Tall , tell me, how it all started? Did he get down on his knees? Or her family came home to discuss the prospect? Either way, was it love at first sight or you allowed love to have its own course. Naah! Let’s cut these formal sentences out and be rather open. So, Love or Arranged Marriage? ARRANGED! Aha! How fortunate! You met your better half in your living room under the assuring eyes of your loved ones. A happy celebration at the outset. Family approval, big fat wedding spanning out for days and a warm welcome to the lady, that too, in style and grandeur. Life comes on a platter at times... Sorry, you said something? Even yo...

Sometimes I feel I am fighting against my childhood beliefs. I was told, certain words are forbidden, certain phrases are frowned upon and certain topics are discussed only inside four walls. But the 21st Century woman in me, who starts her day with Facebook updates, doesn't agree. I was hushed on many occasions as a child, given signals to keep mum as a teenager; I admit, even I refrained from speaking on numerous counts, but not now… …now, I know we can snub a voice, we can hush a tone, we can do everything but  erase it completely . And if the matter still exists, it's worth a conversation. So, let's talk! Almost all the prohibited topics are centered around women and the worst part is, women pays the price every time. Being unaware is no excuse when it comes to health issues. Thus, it becomes imperative to speak out and clear the clouds that engulf our thoughts. Most of us don't know what all problems a woman face...not even the woman herself. In fact, we...
