  • Couple of days back I inched closer to the big 30. here 1 inch = 1 year. Strangely I did not have the same old excitement and was more like let’s get this day over with. Most of which I spent cooking and cleaning the home after the 2 month long stay away from it.…

  • Howmuchever one is running on autopilot, shifting from one task to another seamlessly, getting exhausted by the end of the day, wonderful love stories always catch you offguard and give a sense of respite and relief.My friend from grad school met a girl on skype. Both really liked each other and continued talking for a year.After…
