The Proposal

She happened to remember an old gmail account details.
"Ahh its been so long" she thought when she keyed in the password. After trying a few times she got the password right. What appeared seemed a lost island, a space once brimmed with activity now a desert forlorn . The chat window showed some of her contacts ,she quickly moved her status to invisible to avoid any attention.  Sent box was full of emails sent to a large list of hrs of various companies. She relived the time of her struggle for the first job.  Updating resume on job portals and searching and applying. 
Inbox was full of spam emails from job portals and marriage sites. She moved to look for the other folders. She had forgotten that gmail kept all chat logs in a folder. A strange feeling swept her off like she was moving back in time , a time she was young  ..foolish ..naive. She brisked through the records and opened one ..

Reading through the lines the same feeling..the same feeling  swallowed her over ..How could she be so stupid that she believed him..believed in a distant dream ."Did he ever say that? May be i assumed too much "..she had consoled her heart that time. But now going through the chats she thought..he did say ?
He joked about it, pulled her leg and offered to send his alliance her parents. She brushed off the thought every time as a joke. But so pliant a heart she had that a dream did creep into it and she never came to know when..

And when one day after a similar conversation , she countered him if he really meant it? " I am sorry if i have hurt you, but you know we are just friends" that's all he had to say. The only proposal she got if her life was never one.....

Who said Black??

The Lavie Handbag Commercial feat Kareena made me toss on my seat saying 'Yeah that’s a real Gal'. After bugging the salesman for hours for Black hang bag, she finally picks up an Orange one with a perfect finish line...'Who said Black??' Hats off to the advertising team of Lavie , they have surely hit the bull's eye. I mean..that's how we are!!! And the sooner one makes peace with the fact that a woman has a million faces ..the better. I mean..would you like to date a gal who knows what she wants..does what she decides to do for the day..has sorted priority list..then u are definitely gay..Go Marry a MAN! Next time someone tries to make me feel horrible for not being sorted out..tells me I am too moody..I should change myself..blah blah and all that  bullshit…(I would like to say Fuck off but that’s not how things work ryt??) I will let him watch this commercial.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLkaOUmtSyE   Atleast I don't spend that muc...

Kahne mein kya jaata hai

That moment when one of the prospective grooms you talked to while finalising on 'The One' gets engaged and sends you an invitation. You are curious to know how the 'bride to be' looks and it gives you immense relief to ascertain that you are better looking than her. :) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Writing is a very unique art. It lets your mind wander but in the right direction. It places you in oblivion but yet dawns upon you certain revelations. It locks you from the world but only to make you discover newer ones. Writing puts me at a different level of perception altogether. Its not about seeing your words in print but its about echoing your thoughts to the world. You can actually make a difference with your words! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The lack of confidence is taking a toll on life, its just that I am realizing it now. Never was competing with people about wo...

The Picture

Sifting through his almirah, Searching for a book He , drew out an old volume Off the rack, Something fell down, He turned , It was a picture of hers.. He has taken it, Silently, capturing her unaware While she was gulping down A 'Paani ka bataasha' He had waited for the right moment, Waited for her to open her mouth, Put the whole thing inside, Chew it softly, And squeeze her eyes 'Click'   'Waut u doin'?? She had asked with her mouth full.. I hate you for this, she squirmed Faking anger, she looked so silly He had decided he will get it printed.. With the silly face and disheveled   hair In the pale old picture She still looked beautiful..
