Dear Serene Streets

A letter to the streets of IIM Bangalore -just to remember the unusual bond I shared with them 🙂

Just like my Dad!

“How do I look, mom?” a sweet, innocent voice asked. He was proudly looking at his mother, expecting some words of admiration. “Oh dear Rutu, you look so perfect. Just like your dad.” She replied while looking at her 11-year-old, who had just suited up for the first time. It was quite an elegant suite:

Meaning of life in one word?

Let me tell you about a boy. He is an orphan. Nobody is born an orphan. He wasn’t either. But I feel that he should have been. Shocked? Angry? Or feel like “how disgusting this writer is!”? I’d still say the same words. That boy was left by his parents on the doorsteps of an

Every Soul Suffers For A Reason

A night is the best to have some deep and meaningful conversations. A night gives you a serene and calm environment to explore the ocean of another person’s mind without being disturbed by anyone and anything. All you can do is dive in that ocean and reach it’s depth (and oxygen is not a necessity

A Meeting With The Destiny

I am always known for less work and big talks. And today I am going to do that only. Today, I found something in my heart. I found a torch. A torch lit up by sparks generated because of the friction between my mind and heart, and as finally, my heart emerged victoriously, the torch

I inherit the world to you

Twisted time has brought me near another twist, where I feel that sand is slipping through my hands, and now I should write my will, and inherit you my belongings. Don’t have much in store, but few memories sweet and sour, they are to be passed on, to be kept alive, so I pass them

What would you miss if you are going to die today?

I came across the above question on Quora, and couldn’t stop myself from answering it. I am reproducing that answer here: I would miss a simple thing which I always ignored, the life. My little, precious life. Its been 22 years now, and I have done so many things with it. I played with it, twisted

Why Do Only I Fail?

I feel that I have wasted my life. Yes, I do. I couldn’t get appear for IIT-JEE. I couldn’t score well in MHT-CET. I couldn’t get any top engineering college. And I didn’t do any wonders in engineering as well (man, if only I could go back). I let go of several opportunities. I couldn’t
