Unveil the Other Side

I lay back on my bed late in the night thinking of the day that's gone by. There is much more to it than I could write down. I retrospect each activity I've dealt with and how could I have bettered myself to excel in each of them. It's a goal I set to myself so that I wake up a better person with each passing day. Let me give you an example for more clarity. A set of clothes lie in my closet which I intend to repair. I make an attempt to sort and keep them ready for repair. Well according to you that might be a "Job well done". Sure, I have progressed on that note, however I could actually finish repair of a couple of them today instead of watching some idiotic TV soap :) Ok maybe that's a little too much to ask for. I may better go back watch a few youtube videos before I get busted. How do you deal with situations as these? * Exam next day vs your favorite kahani showbiz on TV. * Project deadline vs blockbuster movie time. Well I've been thro...

A heart in pain craves for love There ain't anything that'll please me now Laughter or cries, either would do I bend and plead, will stay put till I succeed Its no game of win or loose I care no prick , no bruise I need you for not me, but my soul PS: This was written about a decade ago.. Was buried somewhere. Found it. And thought of sharing with you all.

As I sit to relax in the parlor giving my legs in the experienced hands of a beautician, my mind loiters around various stuff. One morning I woke up to say that I need to relax today, but now that am a mom , it's a thing of the past. My mornings starts with the cuddling of the little champ in my life, the monster , the turtle and the everything one can think of.. He is it. And then I hit the floor doing the usual chores with the tiny feet following me everywhere mine go to. And this continues till the time he goes to bed. In a nut shell there's absolutely no room for relaxing. I wonder how these younger moms of today manage to move out and keep a track on their fitness, their family. I guess they have surrendered themselves to the bai/maid and rely on them for all the chores at home. As these thoughts jinxed my head I was jolted by the parlor lady who asked me to soak my feet in the tub filled with luke warm water.

Girls are expensive. Is this a familiar jargon? Till date giving birth to a girl baby is considered a curse in many places around the world. And now they are considered to be expensive. LOL. Yesterday happened to hear one dad, whose daughter is all grown up, say "oh no these daughters are really a great deal, costly and over the top" . I simply smiled away. He continued to the lady at the counter" madam, my daughter's wedding is fixed. " Madam with enthusiasm replied " wow! That's great news, where's the groom from? ". Dad with all pride replied " From the USA". I smiled again. And then he said " But dear, marriages have been a costly affair then and now , however my daughter is even more expensive. The beautician cost is about a lakh rupees and hell with those candid photographers. They need 2.5 lakhs for full coverage. " I smiled again but this time replied " Sir, the beautician and the photographers also nee...
