Salt is a necessary element in our life. Yes, we all know that. It is not a life altering epiphany. I just realized it, yet again. Today, the food I brought from home for lunch, did not have salt. Even with all the indian spices, and a lot of vegetables, it tasted bland. I ate…
Category: Just Saying
I am a fairly opinionated person, but people request me to not be honest. I still need a place to voice my opinions, don’t I? These posts are primarily for venting out the frustration. Occasionally, I may share joyous and pleasant news, too.
Being (Un)grateful
I’m feeling a tad bit better. My vision is no more blurry. My itching and twitching persists. I often feel that my body fixtures are misplaced. That my arm should probably be rotated three degrees clockwise. Or my fingers should be more together. Know what I’m saying? Anyway. In this fit of feeling creepy and vulnerable, I start to get increasingly picky. There are two things that…
Suffocating relationships
If the reader of this article is anything like the people I know, they will go “Haaaaw, does she have a relationship?” Yes, I am surrounded by judgemental people. Get your minds out of the gutter, you pervs. A relationship may not necessarily mean a romantic or physical one. It could be with anybody, with…
Festivals in India
India has amalgamated culture, and a lot of festivals. What do festivals mean in India? It means playing music in the loudest possible, ground thumping, walls-shaking volume from dawn to mid-night; and torturing others thus. Jai Hind!
Things that never change
It has been about 150 years since the phone was invented and more than 50 years since mobile phones came into picture. And we have seen more than 10 years of smart phones. We still talk on phone so loud as if we actually sending our voice directly, and not over phone. When do we…
The Great Indian Show
As I have mentioned in earlier posts, every morning I have to wait for my office bus. It is a tricky place for a bus stop. It is intersection of 2 roads, so you have vehicles coming from everywhere, a lot of them from the wrong side. Further, there is a public transport…
How the habit of Ctrl + S ruined my day
I was writing a story. A big one, sort of like a novel, for past 3 days. It was coming alone nicely. When I read it after writing, I enjoyed reading it. It didn’t sound like me, and that reassured me that people may actually like it and read it. After dinner, I sat down…
Getting my identity
Thus began the wait. Oh, wait. Wednesday, 15 November 2017: Upon reaching office, I went straight to the meeting room. I was late by 5 minutes. I patiently sat through the meeting. After the conference call was over, I ran to my desk, and took a photo of enrolment ID. That is all I have,…
Confused Weather
It is November, folks. November is about sweaters, and shawls, and blankets, and hats, and socks. November is about mug-fuls of tea, and coffee, and hot chocolate. This November is not sweet, it’s confused, and confusing. The temperature started to drop a bit since first week of October. It sort of remained constant for first…
Getting my identity
The tag line “Mera aadhar, Meri Pehchaan” literally translates to “My right, My identity”. Well I do have an identity. An official identity. I am a tax paying citizen. I have my records with the income tax department. I still do not have an identity. An identity that the government has suddenly mandated. There have…
