The seasons and their connotations changed for me after coming to the US. What was summer, rains and winter became autumn, winter, spring and summer.And I really like Spring. Not only for its jumpy name, but for the sheer positivity it brings. May be its the sunshine, may be the blossoms, may be the blooming trees…

The evening starts as lazy as it can be. You have just finished the routine back-from-office-how-was-your-day talk with your roomie. Well! And then a friend calls up.

Roomie: We dont differentiate much between what we want or what we need. Dont you think so ? (on our way from the grocery shop) Me: Have not given a thought to what I want, for a long time now. Things have become so need based, and now that you say it, I feel like…
