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 ...

Meri 400 Rs ki trip.

Reservations had hardly affected my life until my Amritsar trip got cancelled due to Jat community riots. Me with my other two members of 'M gang of gals' were extremely upset when we got to know that our train was cancelled. Since 3 months we scheduled those 5 days of the trip totally uninvolving so going back to the routine on those 5 days was not at all an appealing idea. We wanted to make those days as exciting as possible but searching for a good destination to visit for a day or two in Gujarat was quite a task. I had slightest idea of visiting Champaner but at the same time I was clueless about the geographical location and means of transport to that place. All thanks to Google baba, in just no time I figured out that there is one train Dehradun exp, which would take us to Champaner Rd. Junction from Surat. That was it. I shared my plan with Mahi and Mitali and they immediately agreed.  And the most adventurous day began  4:45 am on 27th March was the departur...

no pain no gain

February. the month of love. Valentine's day preps have started since beginning of the month. But on 14th Feb not everyone will have that someone special in their lives. Some would be waiting for a right person to cross their path, some would be satisfied and happy with their single status and there would be broken hearts. Breakup is a disease which is rampant these days and believe me it could strike anyone anytime. Relationships are so very fragile. Relationship Gurus have already tagged year 2016 as a bad year for love and how can we neglect the unexpected celebrity breakup stories which we get to read everyday.  I have survived one such unexpected storm in my life so I can connect closely with the enormous amount to pain people go through when splits happen. Yes time heals but memories can never be erased. Life moves on but many a times people don't. Too much pain and heartache is attached to breakups right???  I just want to share few punch lines showing you the brigh...

हज़ारों शिकायतें तुमसे है पर माफ़ी मुझे हे मांगनी। गलती हो गई मुझसे'जो तुम्हारी लिखी एक बेहतरीन कहानी को सच मान बैठी  दिल टुटा बोहोत ज़ोर से जब कहानी वाली दुनिया से बाहर आई  ये धक्का बर्दाश न कर पाई इसकी माफ़ी मुझे है मांगनी। तुमने कहा आगे बढ़ो.... खुश रहो  मेरी ज़िन्दगी तो वहीं अटकी रह गई  तुम्हारी बात ना मान सकी इसकी माफ़ी मुझे है मांगनी।  दर्द है.......  हमेशा रहेगा  ज़िंदा हूँ पर ज़िन्दगी ना रही  क्या सही क्या गलत कुछ खबर नहीं  शायद मेरी ही कोई गलती रही होगी उसकी माफ़ी मुझे है मांगनी।  हज़ारों शिकायतें तुमसे है पर माफ़ी मुझे हे मांगनी।

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...

A streak of inspiration

Since childhood I have this huge attraction for Indian handicrafts and I try my best not to miss a single handicrafts fair/ exhibition organized in my city. Moreover when I travel I make sure that I visit the handicrafts market of that particular region. Buying handmade things gives me immense joy also I own quite a collection of such beautiful things. So last weekend I happened to visit this huge event called Kala Varso ( Inheritance of Art) organised at Science Center Surat. Actually I was unaware that such exhibition has been organised but Neha di knew about it. We were out for buying some stuff that day so after grabbing a bite at varie-tea, (my fav hang out place) we decided to take a look at what the exhibition has to offer.  To my surprise the exhibition was very well managed. There were stalls of artisans representing almost every region of our country. They were demonstrating the special features of their craft which varied from region to region but the enormous amou...

Find out... why me???

On seeing the word life the first question which arises in our mind is -what is life? Life is a form of a thing in which it interacts with its surroundings with the help of its senses (Good attempt of scientists in fitting the idea of life in just few words. But believe me life is much more than this). Now the second question which arises in our mind is that -who made us and what is the reason behind our existence? We don't know who made us but the reason he/she/whatever made us lies in ourselves, in our mind and in our heart. If we do not succeed in pursuing the societal conventions of becoming a doctor, engineer, policeman etc ... it means that our creator wants us to do something else. So we should not be depressed for our failures because one day will come when we will be able to fulfill the purpose of our life. This does not mean that you have to just sit and let the creator decide what you have to do. Just believe in yourself, have faith in yourself and do whatever y...
