Dirty Little Secret

We all have that atleast one dirty little secret, no matter what, we can’t part with it! Well, I have many. 😀

Nevertheless, “you” are my dirty little secret, and I think I’ll keep you”.

… and this song is on repeat for the last couple of days so much that I think I can breathe The All American Rejects!!

Janmashtmi Tales

“Haathi Ghoda Paalki, Jai Kanhaiya Laal Ki“, we would scream as the day would start with the room filled with flowers and mom would make garlands and the smell of sweets would blend perfectly with the fragrance already present. Schools used to give us the privilege to sleep a little extra that day but who wanted to! Janmashtami, it used to be!

The evening was the most awaited part of the day. In Delhi, scenes from Krishna’s life were enacted and portrayed on streets. Children would dress up as Krishna and Radha and as other various characters. Scenes from Mahabharata would adorn the street. Such colours and vibrance put altogether for Krishna’s birthday! Too much fun! Icecreams, Chole Bhature, Gol Gappe, Balloons; your every minute delighted with something or the other. Krishna sitting with Ray Ban while Radha would be sipping her Coco Cola. Gathered crowd only to swing the cradle of baby Krishna idol (that’s where I actually understood the phrase “never give up”)…

…and here I am sitting in my office, deadlines to kill; face resting on the palm; looking at the clock ticking and gazing outside the window (I have a huge ass window) … I wish I could have been a part of the parade back at home.

Nonetheless, Happy Birthday Gopala! 🙂

Butter treats tonight.

Emotional Fool

This song is OMG so catchy and so is Varun Dhawan! Ye dil mera sajnaa emotional fool hai! ❤

Friday the 13th

Who said Friday the 13th is as bad as its hyped! Here I wish you a Friday the ‘cute’ 13th 🙂

Ae Ghalib #1

सुकून की बात मत कर ऐ गालिब, बचपन वाला इतवार अब आता नहीं |

(Do not speak of the peace O Ghalib, Sundays from the childhood days don’t come anymore.)

Only Fools Rush in.

Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can’t help falling in love with you
Shall I stay? Would it be a sin?
If I can’t help falling in love with you… ❤

… and I can’t help falling in love with you…

Happy Birthday Enid Parker!

The Birthday finally arrived. With much awaited Wine and overdosed Mutton-awesome-Biryani (Chef Lucille) and 1 Direction showering their love on us, it was a day (rather night) worth remembering! I hope Enid, you remember all the things to be achieved till the next birthday rolls in! Till then wish you bundles of joy and 1D concerts!

Love me like always 🙂

Those who are confused who the two guys are beside her, well, keep guessing, I ain’t telling! (Hint: They are famous heart throbs)

PS – One day when you come home at 9pm, i’ll be off to sleep. One day.

Happy Birthday Meghana Bhaskara!

Maybe someday I’ll be quick enough to post these Birthday wishes on time. But as I say always, “somewhere in the wide world its still your birthday!” :*

A very Happy Birthday Megoo!

End of July, midst all the new faces, there was a girl with an orange suitcase waiting to go to her new room, her accommodation for the next 4 years. She was little shy but came with a huge circumference. And then you said Hi. College would not have been the same if you had not greeted me that day. As they say, if you make one friend on the first day of your college, you are gonna be okay. Not knowing (back then), it would turn my world upside down and I’ll have the best times of my college. Thank you for all those beautiful memories, late night chit-chats while hunting for food, under the blanket conferences, heartbreak sagas, talking in the rain, fights, Bhojpuri mess dramas; all of it. I knew, being with you, smile will always follow. I miss us.

Good luck for your new journey and miss you.

Love you my Goo. ❤ Stay Blessed.

Being a Woman

The days I spend are the days that go by,

Often I ask myself the question – How and Why?

Being a woman is not that easy,

like the people around me sound like its so cheesy

A daughter, a wife, a mother of maybe five,

a sister, a neighbor, a friend to survive

Among these roles, the time which I spend;

no regrets; gorgeous, pretty and ten on ten

But somewhere between those fake smiles and uncleaned makeups,

somewhere between those eyes and breakups,

There lives a soul, naked and deep inside,

Away from the pretentious world, within me it resides

Between the folklore and the daily chores,

usually when the heavy rain on the window pane pours

“don’t let it out, be a lady”, they say,

and I stayed still, did everything their way

a silent storm, an ocean rooted,

buried inside the abyss of ‘being a woman’, rotted

being sophisticated and polite,

often suppressed and conquered without a fight

“let it be, you can’t change anything”, they exclaimed,

there was a voice within, thought to be in vain,

there was a choice to be made, but all they said,

“don’t be stupid, you are just a lady,

and we don’t give a damn of what you say”

The soul still lives there, weak and frail,

a cold flame, decayed and under a veil

another butterfly trapped in the cocoon,

hopes for the future still high, though a little swoon

You see, the days I spend are the days that go by

Often I ask myself the question – How and Why?
