Maine (phirse)Pyar kiya

Image
Maine pyar kiya in 2016 So it is 2016 and not 1989. And if you are wondering this is the same story ..yes it is but with a twist So Myra is staying with her father in a tier 2 city but ever since before dreams of working in a big company.After landing up with a high flyer job in XRNT corp - a Huge company in Mumbai ,her father suggests she should stay at his Friend Kishen's place who owns a duplex and a terrace in Bandra But Myra stays on her own renting a flat in the middle class locality of Andheri. Myra makes a few friends in the city and in her office as well. Soon she goes and meets her obnoxious uncle Kishan  who used to be her Dad's best friend in 1980s when both were poor and his wife the pleasant aunt Yashoda who adores Myra by the fact that she still touches the feet of elders and parties 'responsibly'.Uncle Kishan's cold behaviour doesnt affect her much and aunt continues to see a potential "bahu" in her.. Yes cliche but true Oh well forgot to m...

Cricket and relationships

Image
My Analysis of cricket like relationships... Test cricket is like walking the beautiful city streets  and sipping wine with your best girl friend, followed by conversations that go for ever..chatting talking and texting for a year ..and one fine day kissing her passionately..and finally making out steamily and having sex rather making love under the stars while drinking wine..and proposing her with a ring One day cricket is like meeting a girl, texting her for a few days , taking her to a sexy pub on a date ...then walking back home and having intense sex ..not sure if you can get committed ..may be give it some time  20-20 is like meeting in a pub having sex on the bar table and before you know its over 😂😂😂 And yes people still play test cricket 😍

Provence

Image
And i wish to make a house At a place like this one day Where streets are beautifully cobbled And walls are made in a stony way Where day begins with a breeze And ends with a street song  Where journeys are about walking On the streets so long Full of creperies , boulangeries , fromageries Each street has a charm Even on a cold winter day An onion soup seems so warm So I would grab a ticket soon As soon as I get a chance Pack all my fancy baggage  And escape to Provence in France

Love in the times of recession (Part 1)

Image
A broken ring, a keychain, a lunch bill , a vogue magazine , many excel training manuals, excel shortcuts,cluster of green teas and a stack of letters wrapped in a pink satin ribbon...it was all in the pedestal ..It was Trisha's first day in Merrill Lynch. She was super excited to be in the new office. Sitting in her cubicle she was trying to get used to the new space. 3 months passed and she was dying of curiosity to whom it belonged. But opening someone else's private letters was rude." Oh..so it is you who sits at Patricia's desk", an fellow co-worker added. Trisha smiled coyly as she was never the social or extraverted one. She wanted to know more about Patricia, who was she , where she went ..but she never asked. Another 2 months passed and the team got a mail from the compliance division asking about disposing all the old papers in their drawers to the paper shredder. As a rule they were supposed to dump all the confidential papers older than 6 months in a c...

What if?

Image
"Oh no..not again "she thought before she went on another "date"on a Sunday afternoon to a neighbourhood CCD. Their horoscopes had matched and she was considered lucky to get even get this alliance at 'this' age. Her parents were desperate now. After all she was nearing her late 30s and was considered as too old in the "market"of marriage. Nothing mattered. Her degree in engineering nor post graduate in management , nor her art skills nor her state level championship in badminton nor her fitness or independence. In this marriage market she wasnt who she was. She was her " bio-data".. She was her " horoscope " ..she wasnt a person. So what? People in the past have married bio datas and have adjustedto live  happily ever after Today she had to "close the deal". Every time she went ,she only thought of her mom's worried face, dad's tensed mannerisms and her gossiping "well wishers" as well as friends who...

You are born to fly

I was sitting in my flight which was already late by a few hours. I opened a few magazines to read. The flight was still to take off.I always knew where I wanted to go." Better late than never " I thought. There was still some time to take off, and I hadnt still switched off my gadgets. The best thing I like to do on flights is to write. I feel that is the best time you get to write. Suddenly my phone rang. "Who could it be now I thought? I had already spoken to my family and close friends and told them I would be on flight. My caller id spelt Kamini  Malhotra. I  answered the call hoping to hang up quickly before the crew asked me to switch off my gadgets.  Hello I said.  "Hello Anahita.. How are you?" Although me and Kamini studied together in junior college we never really got along. I was still friends with her. We were friends may be for convenience but  we were always together.I was always the ambitious one. Dreaming big ..thinking sky is the limit. Kamin...
