Since we are running out of lists to make this month, a recent fight with a friend drives me to write this.I am not well with words during fights. Have never been in real physical fights. Oh well. I should stop taking things too literally. Anywho, since I am a sagittarius and aai normally warns me…

Sounds like a really philosophical question. But the other day read Neha’s post and commented whatever came to my mind at that point (I like spontaneous comments, give you a clear picture, don’t they?). and she counter commented and asked the question in the title.

Day before I was watching rockstar (which I liked for its nuances despite overall it being an ok movie with the most beautiful dud for an heroine) and it got me thinking about conflicts. There are some people, emotions, definitions in life about whom/which I still feel really conflicted. In extremes. Sometimes. And I do…

Every time during a long holiday (specially diwali) at home, we visit aai’s parents. (well, baba’s father passed away when he was 19, so he pretty much grew up with lots of responsibilities and really looked upto aai’s father. Plus other granny lived with us. We don’t have much biases otherwise.)Aai always tells her mother…

We had guests at home over the weekend. Amongst them was the most precious 3 year old (mihika becomes mika :D) I have met in a while. But (there are always but-s) I am really thick sometimes. Also I work on saturday. Sometimes. So on sunday morning we tried to strike friendship. We played with…

Most of any kind of learning is magic. According to me.
