Questions, Answers and Givens.

Ever wondered what a 5-year old thinks of your most valued possessions? Or, take, for example, your consideration for the favourite toy of your little ones. My 7-year old cousin plays with her dolls almost everyday. Her favorite possession, i suppose. Garden trees, her favorite spot. You will find her there almost everytime she is angry with someone or is 'upset' because of her friends' behavior. Two days of non-stop chatter and play with her and i had my own' when-upset-sit-here-alone' place, a broken laptop (my ex-most valued possession, and a new worry.
Well once every day, this kid exclaimed, " We are going to see the moon now!" or " The sun! hurray!" I had serious doubts on the origin of such statements leave alone the excitement. So i take her out to get some of her favorite ice cream. The last thing i wanted to hear, " Are going to see the moon?" is what she said. Surprised at my response, I began to feel the world, look at it from the eyes of the creator.
So given is the beauty of nature that our questions belong to the unnatural and answers to the superpowers of man alone.

Gimme gimme.. mooooore! THIS DAY AND THAT THINGS!

Walking on a street in Nerul (Navi Mumbai), at 11.30 in the night, you are singing ‘Maujja hi Maujjaa’, dancing ‘wierdly’ to the tunes of ‘Nasik dhol’ hums, smiling your way to glory, its just a hangover of the historic match in ‘D.Y. Patil stadium’ – the bbbigest stadium in Mumbai, witnessing its first match ever! ‘Mumbai Indians match tickets! Please get me a ticket I beg you!’ Here starts my journey to get to my FIRST MATCH in a stadium, ever! The‘oh! My god! I am so egg-xited’ syndrome never seemed to end. Arrangements to the stadium and back were all done, don’t ask how! Well, after all not everyone gets the opportunity to such a historic match, you see. Ok, try and get the picture. You are 12-15 youngsters, in 3 different cars, getting to a stadium, 4 hours in advance. In the car, with absolutely no idea of the scorching heat outside, the smoke of the trucks and other vehicles, the traffic, its just The Match in our heads at the moment. You reach the parking place next to the sta...

Confessions of a girl.

They say, people know they also say, God knows. They defined it say, resticted its existance or set a base for it, rules for which we set Rules, for this one, are just like the rules of any game people have a certain set of rules which are universal and some you decide, the two of you. Its a little complicated at the outset One heard all this from people around, and one finally decided her rules already, all enthusiastically. Promising self not to defy her rules and never to disrespect them, never. Rules for falling in love, were, a) love never happens when its your friend, period. b) has to be something like love at first sight (dramatic, to be more precise) c) someone who is not exactly like you, *opposites attract* was the theory i was taught. d) one can not live without that person e) be calm, its just another emotion f) one is in love only once, and its to stay forever ...and a few more to go. What happened, first, was quite similar to this. I got what i was looking for. What foll...

My Super-Best Friend's Wedding

"Hey look there!" "Its a bird" "Its a plane" "No..its a...." " ... a CAR! " That's his usual way of attracting attention. Hehe. Not really. Its more of a childhood problem. Born and brought up in a family of intelligentsia and all nice people, he has grown up making road maps and plans on random sheets of paper, at random hours. Talking about railway routes from places in India, I din't know, existed. (Those maps at times haunt me nights together) *shivers* hehe. At the tender age of 3, this boy would by-heart the names of stations from the then Victoria Terminus - V.T (hell! i din even know the full form then), spend this precious childhood siting in the front seat of his car, a navigator by post - driver by actions. Yes, mimicking his driver, his favourite act that would save the day for him. His hero, the local electrician. As years passed by, local routes nationalised. Transport systems became life support system. Papers wit...
