A Happy Story

“Why is your daughter unmarried?” asked the neighbor 1.
“Aren’t you concerned about her age? She wont find a match as guys prefer younger girls” said neighbor 2
“She is not ready for marriage. She would get married whenever she wants to” said the father.


“For now our daughter is happy without marriage. And her happiness is our biggest concern.” added the mother.

A memoir of the past

-
Past is beautiful. You always remember the good and forget the bad. May be that is why we always miss our past life, the childhood,the unmarried life, the college life and the school life. We forget the difficulties and challanges that were present in the past, but always miss the happy moments. We remeber the laughter and gossip sessions of school, But we forget the difficult task of waking up early for school bus and scoldings of teachers and parents. We remember the beautiful hostel days of college with friends, the classroom fun time, but we forget the long college hours, inconvenience of a distant washroom in hostel, burden of assignments and semester exams. We forget the plenty days of boredom and loneliness of unmarried life, but we remember all the caeefree and adventrous days of that life. This makes me conclude that life is always full of good and bad. We anyways will forget the bad eventually, so why to cry over them now. Accept the life the way it comes and yo...

So I came to a new country last week to settle for a year. The office remains almost same as in India, a little less facilities may be e.g. no free coffee vending machines. Singapore it is. I was excited about this. I always wanted to settle into a new country on my own.

I had my family nearby.  But I wanted to come out of my comfort zone and experience a new dimension of life. I was always curious about how people in other country stay.  So I gave up my comfortabl...

Friendship, travel

So I wanted to meet my dearest college friend Soni. We were close in college and became closer at our first workplace. We were at the same location for training. Then we we moved to different companies and then different cities. So we had hardly met in last few years, yet the modern day technology kept us close through phones and social media. It was end of the year and both of us wanted a break from routine life. Besides sharing each others secret, we do share common interest in travelling. She lived in Gurgaon and I lived in Bangalore. We decided to meet in Goa on a 5 day trip. Goa where we could be lost in nature and attend late night parties too. It is overwhelming to meet a person so close , after such a long time, a person who has seen you grow and has grown with you. All of us have one friend who knows us in and out, who we trust with our darkest thoughts and actions, without the fear of being judged. Soni is that kind of friend, we resonate thoughts, it is like when we a...
