It is Karva Chauth tomorrow and I see people all around shopping, applying hennas on hands and visiting beauty saloons and then it strikes me that I will never happen to be celebrating this beautiful tradition! Sigh! All my dreams since childhood gets shattered! I hate my boyfriend at such times! (obviously who is not a Punjabi!) Didn't half of the girls in their teens want to get married to a Punjabi? Well I did for their grand weddings and the churas! Love them!  Oh ya for all those who don't know, The Karva Chauth is an old tradition followed mostly in northern parts of India. The married women fast the whole day without food and water until they see the moon and pray for their husbands long life. Sweet thing no? But I see this fasting becoming a fad now. See around and you'll find all girlfriends fasting for their boyfriends/ crushes. And thanks to our very own YRF and the idiot box we have our husbands under pressure to fast for their wives just like SRK did! ...

I took chances, once too many a times Always dreaded this would happen Being left alone to burn, Am sorry for what I have done. I never wanted to lose the friendship over an inner crisis Wish our love could sustain my madness Not cramping your heart with sadness. Now you stand there on the other side Watching me tortured with glee Why don’t you hear my hearts screaming tones? Death of my brittle bones? My soul’s fractured moans?! I feel afraid and cold Trapped behind these walls My sobs are the only sound Why have you hidden me from your sight? Losing you is my worst fright Why don’t you want to hear me? I long to tell u how I feel Why can’t you hear the echoes of my heart cry in pain? Hurting you was my only fear, All I want now is you near! Tell me what can I do to make this right? To live my dreams true, To create warm happiness? To let my soul breathe with freeness? To make you love me back? For eternity?        ...

Traveling a thousand miles, to bring back my smiles. The trouble, the pain, will all be worth the gain. The heart being gripped by uncertainty, the wait feels like eternity. Our hearts knitted with each other, to face the struggle together. Our love will pass the test of time and then you’ll forever be mine!         -PS                                                                      

Once while I was squandering time, I came across this handsome prince of mine! Eyes filled with dreams, that exhibits heaven in a glimpse. The bright smile on the face, which brings tingles to my heart. Each time I look at you spell-bound, I feel lucky to have found an angel walking on ground! You are my knight in shinning armour, with a great sense of humour! Love the way you make me melt, with the tender hug and the lovely scent! Whenever I am sad or blue, you turn everything just so right and true. You holding my hand, a secured feeling, thanking God, for sending you as a blessing! Don't know what is destined in our fate, but you will always be the bestest mate! Cherishing every moment from the start, hoping to never drift apart. Promising love, all that I can give, for as long as I live! You are so special that I want you to know.. I truly, madly, deeply love you so!                        -PS

I,was 39 when I had my first one night stand. And one of those which i didn't even realise. I was pretty positive about getting into a relationship after my divorce with my husband. I met this guy call Sagar (lets, say) in a pub. I was out with my friends. Sagar with his friends on the table close by. Sagar offered us a drink, we spoke a bit over the drink and drinks followed.. There were some sparks between us and I somewhere knew something would happen but I wasn't aware I would land up in bed with him that night itself. Sagar whispered into my ears," I am already in love, can we make love?" and I didn't even realise when i said yes! The next day I woke up with a good feeling. We met up a couple of times. But then he had to leave for Germany. Anyway we both weren't interested in anything further. There was no contact between us, not that i bothered. After a few years i bumped into him again at a coffee shop. It was a very pleasant surprise. We met a...

It was nice to meet up with you yesterday, 'Nice' is the kind of word used when you don't really know whether it was nice or not. And that's a bit how its left me feeling.. It was interesting to find out how your life is about now and to catch up with old friends from the past and to hear about your relatives who were so much part of my teenage life. But i felt strangely uneasy in your company. I felt as though you were trying to tell me that there was still something between us, that the relation we had once was still there just waiting to be unfolded again. I do not feel like that. Although you were my first boyfriend and although at that time i thought we were together forever. I can now only see that relationship as the beginning of a long path. This is not that i m trying to say that i did not value our relationship, just to say that it has its place in the history and that is were i want to leave it... You were boastful when you told me about all the girls u da...

Contrary to the popular perception that corruption is on the rise, Transparency International's Corruption Perception Index showed a decrease in corruption over the last one year....?????? Coming back from Canada to Mumbai after 5 long years, i realised things haven't changed much the moment I landed at Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport. After clearing the customs, as I was getting out, a few constables asked for my gate pass. When i was done showing them, one said, " And what about us??" Looking at my confused expression one responded , " Kya saab , kuch chai - pani ??" It hit me then, where i was... It took one week for my cargo to reach Mumbai , i was happy that it reached Mumbai and not Mexico. Here more than the air travel people are worried about their bags getting lost. I get a call from the agent saying that there is a strike, so my baggage couldn't be delivered. If i needed it urgently, i had to give them some ' Chai -...
