*The post before the last one*
Normally her demons arose in the night. They turned the normally flippant, brilliantly blunt and straight answering girl into a blubbering, confused and sobbing girl. The world knew her as a very arrogant and collected person. She bounced back from all her problems and issues didn’t she?She did, but [...]
Demons, the real ones..
I’m a Grad Student
When you are a Grad student it is assumed that when you shut your eyes for a minute it is because you are re-thinking the thought.
That when you stare into the distance, you are pondering over something deep.
That when you are gazing into your laptop, you are considering a problem and when you are furiously [...]
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 [...]
I am not a feminist because..
Because I do not believe in a weighing scale between the two anyway.
Because I have a lot of masculine behaviorisms which would pit me against feminine stereotypes.
Because I believe in the goodliness of both. Those who don’t? Meet my brother, Mr. Pilot, Jay, Dhum, Pinks, Jats. And meet my Mom, Dhanno, Pri, Radha, Doc and [...]
Counting the Kilos..
Seven days, and two meals consumed. And counting… the days.
This is a confession. And this is an awakening. I hope.

This place is called Bliss
I have written four posts on my assistantship. Newly gained assistantship. But for some reason they are all lying in my drafts folder. Everytime I after I finishing writing, I would say, “I don’t want to talk about this.” And off it would go to my drafts folder.
There is no other way to say [...]
She never existed..
What happened to the girl who never thought before doing, saying or wanting anything? When did people start telling her that you think too much..
What happened to the girl who had supreme confidence in her skills and talent? When did she start fearing her own karmabhoomi so much that she wouldn’t touch it with a [...]
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.
