    Mystical Rain

    Droplets of water falling from the sky, glistening in the glow of artificial lights, cause a hypnotic effect on me. There is no pattern, no story, nothing to see in each one of them; and yet, they draw me towards them as a moth towards the light. Sometimes I hear them, sometimes their voices are hushed by the din of the city. But whenever I step amidst them, they seem to be alive, breathing, dancing and caressing in every touch. I have tried to capture them in pictures, and in words but their beauty and serenity is beyond the realms of my camera and my pen. Sometimes I wish I was a part of…

    Do we lie to good friends?

    Has it happened to you that you saw a close friend rotting away his life, but in place of giving him/her a solid advice, you support them and tell them – They rock!  We think because we are good friends, we ought to support each other in good times and bad. Even though we know our friend is doomed, we would rather be there for him, than give him honest opinion and risk our friendship. Do you think this kind of friendship is really a friendship? I thank God for friends both at work and in personal life, who are true mirrors for me. They will give point blank feedback…

    When a car breaks down in India

    What do you think happens when a car breaks down in India? Your list might include things like: No help for hours Frustration Anxiety and perhaps Fear All if the above are so far away from reality. Let me tell you my tale of today to explain why. I had a crazy day at work, not a moment to relax. Had some office errands to run later in the day, so was out in my car, planning tasks, routes and phone calls as I drove into the evening. It was drizzling, with a little breeze. The perfect weather to enjoy the evening, but my thoughts were so far away, deep…

    Happy BIRTHday?

    Yeah, it’s my Birthday and I know I am in for lots of Happy Birthday wishes. While, I agree that a Birthday is an important occasion in the year, I think it is highly overrated. Personally, I think more than yourself, your mother should be given credit for your birthday as she was the one who made it happen, of course with some help from your father. Thank you Mom for getting me in this world and helping me learn how to survive!! If I was to be asked, which is the day I would want to celebrate, I would honestly not pick the day I was born, but the day I became…
