A Road Trip To South Maharashtra

A Road Trip To South Maharashtra

My husband had some assignment at the southern end of Maharashtra and he decided to travel by road. Should I join? Hmmm? Well, why not? On work front, there wasn't anything much exciting nor any pressing task. So I decided to take this opportunity. A minuscule break, but with no agenda (at least for me) whatsoever.

Cosm(et)ic Invasion !

(Please note that this article was written some years ago. I fully understand that it may sound atrocious in today's time.)

The door bell rang on a windy winter afternoon. Still deeply engrossed in the book in my hand, I opened the door to a young girl of college-going age, apparently on a survey - cum - sales promotion.

A Tale of Two Hearts

She stared at her reflection. Not bad ....... Actually, good!

Today she would have been the bride -- but she wasn't.

Her sister had taken that place.

How could he?

The Case Of An Angry Tooth Fairy!

The Case Of An Angry Tooth Fairy!

Someone please tell me a way to  appease the tooth fairy. Don't know what I did in childhood to annoy her, but since then she has turned her back at me. Of course, that hasn't stopped her from claiming my pearlies - one by one.

Now one would wonder, what has brought about this sudden outburst? What else? -- one more has bitten the dust.

Resolution? Surely Not!

Resolution? Surely not!

If resolutions are meant to be broken, then why make any in the first place!

• So the first one on my Not-To-Do list would be - No Resolutions for the new year! There! I guess it is working already! Well, well I am already feeling light, you see. No trudging through the entire year with heavy burden of broken promises -- which I had stupidly made to myself. No guilt of 'Why-Couldn't-I-Keep-My- Resolutions -even - for- a- decent - time period'. Hah! That's some Freedom!

How I wish that my 'Wish' wasn't this!

How I wish that my 'Wish' wasn't this!

Weird? But true!

I am sure this must be the uppermost thought in everyone's mind - Women's safety! No one would disagree with this wish. And in spite of this, one has to wish for it!.

City Of Traffic Woes!

Recently I came across a post by a Bangalorean, exasperated with the transport issues of the city. I couldn't agree more with everything that was written in there.

I am not from Bangalore. Several previous visits to the city, way back in the last century, had left a fond impression of the place. There was a big gap in between. Then two visits in this one year made me wonder, whether this was the same city?
