I absolutely love it when people share their growing up stories. Not so much as a medium for an insight into the person who they are now, but just how we all are (can be) bonded by similar stories. It is fun and reflective!I just finished reading Tina Fey’s autobiography Bossypants, which btw Ketaki gifted…

Sometimes strange behavior of people (towards me) totally shifts my bearings.But knowing that most of them have been around here for the same amount of time as me (27 something, maybe more, maybe less), makes me feel ok.

meandering in the vastnesscourtesy – google The O’Brien’s have lost a son. We will never know which, how and when (somewhere in the 1960’s maybe).

I am reading the time traveler’s wife. And as I progress in the book each day, I time travel. To chicago. Its weird because, even today I just have to close my eyes to get transported to Michigan avenue. In front of the art Institute. Sometimes walking from Roosevelt station to Jewel Osco. Its wondrous…

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. Hmm. Umm. Hmm. 😀 But whatever I said in the…

There is dead skin around us all. In the form of dust. Around 60-70% is my estimate. We shed so much everyday, then it should really be easy to stay anew, afresh, burden free. So I think.Staying with brother is comforting in a lot of ways. With room-mates I have always taken care to not…

of living behind a school are* You never over-sleep. The chirping of the kids always wakes one up in time.* You pray everyday. Despite the known rebellious attitude, you cannot help but hum the prayers the kids recite everyday during assembly.* You sing the national anthem Jana gana mana everyday. You keep aside any work…
