A cold night, a warm black hoodie, hands in the pockets, and headphones in the ears. Eyes half-closed, as steps, blindly followed the usual route on the tune of “Perfect“.

A crossing under the lamp post!
He noticed the figure approach him again, as he continued his daily walk on that circular footpath around the park. It was tracing that path in the anticlockwise direction, opposite to his clockwise trail, and so they would pass each other, twice, as they continued to promenade in that dark night. He tucked his handsContinue reading “A crossing under the lamp post!”

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.

For The Night Is Still Young And Will Is Still Strong
The arrogant sea was in a rage. He had allowed his waves to go wild. They were smashing the shore hard. The beach was shaking with fear. The coral rocks were being crumbled into pieces.

An Unexpected Truce
If you put me and my elder brother in a single room, you can only have one result: chaos! Since the inception of my little life on this earth, my brother has given me a such a hard time (btw, the converse is also true). In my early childhood, when I was unable to defendContinue reading “An Unexpected Truce”
Its All About The Attitude…
Mumbai is hot (literally). And it feels even hotter when you are wearing a suit. Wear a tie if you want to add a pinch of suffocation. If you will add the tremendous amount of sweat and the humongous pressure of an IIM Lucknow interview, then I guess you’ll get a recipe to make aContinue reading “Its All About The Attitude…”
A journey to remember……
“What are you studying, beta?” I hate when people disturb me. I hate it the most when I am reading or studying.
