I go through all my old posts where I have written about experiencing blasts, floods and other calamities in Mumbai, and I come back to what I have been feeling since I woke up yesterday morning. Sickw ith worry, but a very different kind of sick. A very different kind of worry.
I am not there. [...]
Attacking me
Alone..
She sets the table. Puts out the soup, toasts the bread, heats the mushrooms. Absentmindedly she picks up the red handled spoons from the holder and lays them next to the mismatched plates. The microwave pings and the oven buzzes. Both the mushrooms and the bread are done. She sets it out on the small [...]
Beginnings – Vikram
“Bhaiya, I want to study in U.S.A too”, Vicky bounced the table-tennis’s ball across the wall as his brother cleaned his closet out.“Yeah Vic, but not now. Complete your bachelors here. You can do your Master’s in U.S.A”“But why Bhaiya, I want to get out of this place. I hate the system here, the [...]
Beginning with Anuja
“Pratibhaji, she is brilliant. What can I tell you about her. I am so glad she continued in this school even though you took up St. Lawrence High”
Anuja had always been an intelligent child, after all she was the vice-principal’s daughter, but Pratibhaji wanted to see how Anuja would do if she was left to [...]
Warning: This is a rant!!
Yes, you have been forewarned.. DO NOT COMPLAIN if you still read this.
Ok. Now that we have that cleared..
I just do NOT understand life. Or people. Or people-politics. Or people’s behaviors. Or my room mate. Yea, I am back there again. I had been resisting all this while. I had promised myself and my dear [...]
The circle of trust..
I have repeatedly said that I never had friends through my undergrad years in Mithibai and BMM. And then not in MCJ too. None except the few who insisted on sticking to me.
Today I will explain why.
I have always had a problem with trusting people. This is a convoluted sort of a problem. I trust [...]
Home is…
There are days when I am the goddess of practicality, and days when I am an emotional puddle. And it is NOT easy admitting this over here.
I have been pestering my mom and brother off from the past few days about how I should not bind myself down to Mumbai just because I have been [...]
A little girl’s dreams..

My Dreams:1. To play the violin2. To drive a car3. To ride a bike4. To spend a lott of time with all my friends5. To have a cassatte full of my favorite music.6. To spend as much time as [...]
An Enveloping Blankness..
When I came out of the cubicle after my visa interview my face was blank…
The room was full of hopeful aspirants.. all of them looking at every single person who came out of the cubicle.. a dejected face pulled everyone else down too and a happy face.. pleased the entire room.
But my face was stubbornly [...]
Visa Interview and sinking of the ship..
Quite weirdly, it sunk in now. It sunk in now that I might actually be going away from my home for a good three to four years to study, to live a new life and to learn and grow..
A few days back a close friend told me that it had just sunk in for him [...]
