5 reasons why I hate my best friend!
I have a lot of friends, many type of friends; I love them all for their unique, quirky traits but one of them, well I hate her and she’s one of my best friends. Surprised? Don’t be.

The studying together at night, kicking each other to get ready for college, sharing meals, cosmetics, clothes and coffee…hostel was so…

True friendships stand the test of time…and revisits!
Friendships are awesome! You have friends at your workplace, friends at your husband’s workplace, friends around your home…basically, you are a very social person who basks in the glory of having a lot of friends-a lot! It has just been two years since you reached the place and you get the feeling that you can settle and stay there for the rest of your life. Sigh! You knock on wood and smile. Then the cycles of time take a sudden turn (as they usually do right when you think you are on the right track) and your husband gets posted out of the place, thanks to his transferable job. You…

Yet today, if I may I want to ask you to wow me again and I will tell you how Just hear me out and say yes,come on, take this vow! When I am running around in the morning, fixing breakfast Prancing a mad dance, between kitchen and kiddo’s room Before you shout out for your missing sock, pray wait!

Fantastico Four- friendship beyond years!
It is said that the friendships we form in our childhood are the best ones. I guess whosoever said it never stayed in a hostel. According to me, the friendships you form in a hostel last a lifetime! At a time when you away from home, you form friendships with the people who actually click and  because she sits next to you in class or goes in the van with you. And then, you spend 24 hours a day together. You share first crushes, heartaches, exam stress and what not. Nothing beats that! When I joined medical college, I never knew I would find myself such incredible friends. We were…

This Friendship Day, befriend yourself!
Friendship day is not far away and soon everyone will gear up to celebrate it in their own individual style. For some, it is a day of celebration with friends. For some, it means calling up old buddies and reminiscing the times spent together. For a few, it is a day to reflect within and grieve the absence of friends in their lives. For the rest, it is just another day created by the Western world and promoted by commercial brands for their own advantage. Well, whatever suits you! I love being around friends but first of all, I am my own friend too. Surprised? Don’t be! I am not…

The Lodgy(cal) life!
Our first car after marriage was a hatchback. Easily maneuverable, it offered a great driving experience. After a couple of years though, when the stork visited us and baby S arrived,everything in our world…from our house to our hatchback, shrunk in size. The poor hatchback was no match to the paraphernalia that needed to be carried along baby S. The boot space got cramped up with stuff while a lot more stood outside. Husband dear got irritated with the pushing, piling, squeezing and fretting that preceded travel and went ahead and bought a sedan. All was well with the world again. As the infant became a toddler and then a pre…

No forevers…if not together!
There are so many times in life when you feel weak, when you feel like giving up is the only option left. Suddenly then, a phone call from a friend, a visit from a family member or just a smile from your child changes everything and you find a reason to stand up again and fight back. The mind tries its best to repress and keep under wraps all the awful memories and does it pretty well too. It is only when you sit and force back the curtains that it lets you revisit the restricted area. I have such a memory too. I was in the final year of…
