20 minutes

'I'll reach there in 5 minutes' she texted the guy whom she was going to meet that evening. After thinking a lot about many things, she decided to meet this guy who approached her. It has been long since she ever dated. She was excited to meet this person and expected him to be interesting.  She was wearing her favorite outfit, paired up with her favorite accessories and she completed the look with slight fresh looking make-up. She reached on time as she promised. Not witnessing any trace of a waiting guy, her heart sulked. She called him. No reply. Slightly annoyed, she parked her vehicle near the decided meeting spot and sat on the service footpath. While waiting, her mind was flooded with all her past incidents, thinking how people kept her on hold every time. She was an option for those guys. She was still searching for that guy who'll wish to be with her by his choice without any need of begging. 10 minutes later this guy called and informed that he was stuck in traffic, by this time she was clear that this time she is not ready to wait. Enough of being treated for granted. Who gets late on first date??. She wanted to leave but to prove her point that she reached on time on her first date with him, she stayed. After 10 more minutes, he arrived. They shook hands to greet each other. He started the conversion with asking about her day. Strangely she didn't feel like replying but not to sound so rude she shared details about her day. After that this guy tried to impress her by telling how many factories he owns,  how open minded he is and how he totally believes in women empowerment. All this sounded like irritating noise to her. Somehow she managed to cut short that date and returned home. She texted him, 'Sorry, relationships are not meant for me, please move on'. Those 20 minutes changed the whole dynamics of their potential relationship or may be she was waiting for someone since years and may be its just that faint ray of hope which stops her every time to move on.

10 one liners to tell you why I love Arnab Goswami.

Not having TV at home has its own pros and cons. I never get to see news. And when I plan to watch something on youtube, I choose to watch Comedy Nights with Kapil or inspiring TED Talks. I have liked the FB page of TOI so I get notifications of important news reports which I read sometimes if the headline interests me. And reading news papers nowadays don't fit my schedule. Moreover I'am kind a bored by reading same newspaper in Gujarati since 8 years as the writers are same and mostly their writings show repetition.  A month back on a free afternoon, I was trying to search something interesting to watch on youtube and I came across one video of news hour debate on India's_Godman_culture conducted by Arnab Goswami. That was the first time I saw Arnab Goswami though I had watched TVF spoof of Arnab Goswami done by Arnub Kumar. I watched that whole debate and those 45 minutes my eyes were completely glued on my laptop screen. I had just started admiring this super aw...

A strange trip to the City of Dreams

No matter what is your religious orientation, you'll definitely have a Christmas plan. I too had a plan for Christmas 2015. I always wanted to attend the Midnight Mass at a church on Christmas eve. So I and my friend decided to go to Mumbai to attend the same. We were planning this trip before 4 months of Christmas day and we ended up booking tickets for the trip before 2 months. Meanwhile when we were deciding regarding when to go and where to stay during the trip, some other friends showed interest. One of them was my friend's BF and one other couple whom I barely knew showed interest in joining us. I kind of loved the idea of traveling with strangers so we booked tickets for five of us and we made a WhatsApp group for organizing our trip. So our (me and my friend) plan was to have dinner after reaching Mumbai, go to the Church, attend the mass, spend some time around, rest at railway station, board a train in morning to come back home. Then the other group members suggeste...

PJ King : Chintan Jethva

Suppose you are in a strange land with no known people around you and coincidentally you find a person from your place (country/state/city) whom you had never met before. Only thing you know about him/her is that he/she is from your land. At once you’ll be friends with that person and a fabric of trust will connect you both immediately. This is exactly how I felt when I first met this extremely crazy person; Chintan. Being only kid at home I always missed those funny sibling rivalries. Though, I requested all neighbourhood guys in my society to be my brothers so that on Rakshabandhan day I can earn some gifts. Growing up playing with them was ultimate childhood experience but they never fought with me.  So I was pretty hopeless of finding a part time sibling to fight with, unless I met Tin Tin.  Yes. That is how I shout at Chintan.         Cartoon-giri This guy is extremely moody. No one in SAS-9 is spared experiencing Tin T...
