Hey Guys! :)

Not having followed too many blogs to date, and being an occasional visitor to Quora as well, I think I might safely say none of the cliches on my blog will be intentionally done. I sincerely hope there won't be any at all. And if you're wondering why I am even writing a blog, lets just say I think it'll be super fun! :D I may not be into reading all the social stuff online but I do read a lot and I enjoy writing! Hopefully, you guys will like this blog enough to tune in often! :D

What do you wish to be?

They asked me a million times, the same thing over and over. "Who do you want to be when you grow up?", they said. Somehow this question has been a constant safe resort for all the distant or close uncles and aunts I (and most of you, I'm sure) have had. They always are interested in our future plans, though often forgetting our answers within the next blink of an eye. Somehow it has collectively become a part and parcel of the Indian (and now worldwide, it seems) psyche, that a person is worthy of notice only if he's working towards some end, passionately. Another thing is, this question that I fully dissected by gauging the motives behind, the tone of and the way of asking, has evolved into something that needs a 'materialistic' answer. I mean, there's this famous saying wherein a kid said "I wanna be happy" when asked this question, and was thought to be simple and innocent by the adults who most probably returned with the same question a few...

A disturbed sleep

This Women's Day let's talk about a serious issue, they all said. Lets celebrate feminism, they all said. She was there, seeing them, taking it all in, walking faster. This was like the window to a life she couldn't have, a life she didn't believe she deserved. Her job had never been more ensnaring, yet never less satisfactory. How could she be satisfied, bound as she was under a thousand threads of the same color and seeing the smile and satisfaction it brought to people's faces, knowing she could never have that joy? Swarna was just finishing up a day's work when the owner came to her, and told her to come early the next day. Two new customers there were. She agreed. Up the next day, swept up at the crack of dawn, she went ahead to complete her chores and got Lily ready to school. Then, draped the same old olive green   saree , said hello to   Durga Ma   in the temple, from the outside, and set off to do her duty. Braced herself to see more of loud, g...

The torn blanket

I can barely breathe. As I feel the whoosh whoosh of my seemingly scarce breaths, I want to tell you a story. My story. I was born with 8 siblings, and our mom was a single mom. She didn't ever tell us about our dad, and we never pestered her, as she was good enough for both. She would give us all we needed, keep us warm and happy. She was the main focus in our lives, we would do whatever she asked, and she rarely, if ever, was wrong. Though she wasn't a very emotional woman, I knew she loved me a little better than my siblings. Maybe because I was a little weak at times, got a cold and fever too often. I still remember how once when we were kids, and others were ridiculing me for feeling cold all the time, she had bought a new blanket, a unique one, made by an old woman who was the only obstetrician and also a magic-worker in my mom's village. She had silently walked in while we tossed and turned in our sleep, and covered me with it, and I don't think I ever felt more...
