The day I drowned in my own tears

Very young, I braced my faith. Plucking thorns out if it, Eluding track of dates. Gradually hope faded, Happiness became a forlorn song. I hummed lyrics with a smile, But I couldn't make it last for long. I knew, my soul was scarred, It kept on tearing, It kept nagging with pain. Even pleaded me, To stop hurting it again and again. When we both couldn't sync, I came one-to-one with my biggest fear. The day I lost everything, The day I drowned in my own tears.

Good Ol' Days

Shhhhh… Monica rested her finger on her lips and widened her eyes, gesturing me to keep mum.  Right! I fumed. I knew the unwritten rules of prank. No noise and pose dumb when someone catches you. And then we both tip-toed in the cycle stand of our school, holding a pencil compass . Well, we were good girls who blamed our small city for lack of fun and did our best to make our lives spicy-naughty-fun. Much like the soul-sisters, we kept our bond unshakeable with 20 Rupees Archies Friendship Band . And swore by it, muttering with closed eyes - Till thread do us apart… The band surely wore away with time but it knotted many incredible memories of days lived together. Some silly pranks, some practical jokes and some tearful days. Just for you all, a peep into the most rocking time of my teenage. Spice Girls - Take 2 With due respect to the rocking band, we thought we were no less. Singing their chart busters in our voice, we spent many evenings in our rooms. Insp...

And they let the tear fall...

Fatigued with joy,  Amidst balloons and cries, He lulled me into sleep. Holding his first born, They saw my father weep. Fallen leaves of the autumn, Rattle with him in his grief. Heartbroken, crushed, They witness his sorrows, They comfort him as my lover weep. Better adieu and a better time, His joy was sublime, Still he felt a pain very deep. Giving away his daughter, Many saw my father weep. Let it fall, let emotions breathe. Oh yes, it's true! Men Do Weep.

Fly ✈ Malaysia, Truly Asia on AirAsia

I was first introduced to Malaysia by my College friend, Swati. She lived there for 4 years and was always singing praises of Kuala Lumpur. ‘Is it that wonderful!?’ I asked her multiple times. Her point was vouched by Malaysia, Truly Asia commercial airing on TV Channels those days. So, one day I surfed all about this city of high-rise buildings and cosmopolitan culture. I must tell you, I fell in love with it for multiple reasons, each being stronger than the other. Since then, it has become my Dream Asian Destination. Fly ✈    Malaysia, Truly Asia on AirAsia The first thought that flashed my mind when I read about Kuala Lumpur was - A modern sibling of India. Why not? We, Indians, give extra importance to food and religion and in Kuala Lumpur, we get an overdose of it. In fact, you feel much at home with a variety of Indian food available there. Being a foodie and a vegetarian, this completely bowled me over. If we start a tour of this city, we can spend at...

Let's build a stronger India, shall we?

This morning I saw a mother wrapping her child in a blanket while boarding the bus. She was tucking the blanket from all corners. She was surely protecting him from cold weather but what about the dust, germs present on the bus seat and cold flu virus many passengers leave behind on bus handles? Wrapping your bundle of joy in a cosy blanket is not enough, we have to make them stronger from within. Their bodies should have a shield of their own and it should be prepared to counter-attack all the germs, viruses and infections. Healthy food is the first and foremost key to make kids stronger. Dark leafy green vegetables, lentils, nuts, carrots, kiwi, cauliflower, garlic helps in building immunity. These days most of the kids refuse to eat such food, so we should make eating interesting for them. Instead of serving a bowl of salad, we should make a sandwich of whole wheat and stuff fresh vegetables in it. Don’t forget to cut it into interesting shapes, may be, of their favorite ...
