“It’s so hard to lose a single gram. I run and I watch my diet. I do not cheat.” She told her nutritionist. He smiled and said, “What about those butter and nutmeg cookies you baked yesterday and posted the picture on Instagram? Did you give them away to friends?” She was caught red-handed.

I remember when I was little, I never thought so much. I would listen to people and do as I wanted. Today, I think about things. I do as I want but I know deep within that I am being judged. Sometimes, I over think and analyse and then wonder why, who said what? Childhood is … More I remember..
A mid-week off has a happy effect. It brings a break to the hectic work week. It was raining incessantly and we were out for a drive. Something that’s otherwise not possible on a working day. I was watching it rain with the windows rolled up. It’s beautiful, isn’t it? Those water droplets sliding off … More Two elements

The results were being read out that afternoon … More It was 19th December, 2005..
A sunset is not just beautiful. It tells you about life more than anything else could. How transient things are we think are ours and how nothing is truly ever ours. How everyone goes back home including the Sun after a long day. How the light falls on the Earth making it warm yet leaving … More Sunday Punch #53

There is a lot to marriage beyond wedding ceremonies and most people know that simple truth in life. A grand party at a plush venue, hundreds of guests, good food, designer dresses and everything perfect to a tee is by no means an indicator of how the marriage will turn out to be.
