Life as many of us don't know it!

Leading a simple life has become quite complex these days. It is very often said by my mother and have heard it  from various other people that, being quiet and not interfering in others' matters is taken as a sign of being stupid and not what the people of this age do.
I am quite surprised that minding your work and going about your daily life is seen as a sign of being weak.
I am just not able to understand as to why people love to interfere and involve themselves in the lives of others.

 People try to poke you to understand you as to why are you the way you are. Not being social is seen as being Anti-Social. Talking to selective people is seen as boycotting a few.

A love like no other!

I love to cook and eat. My immense love for cooking and eating grew only after I met my ex-husband. With him I explored most of the eateries in Delhi NCR and like a typical Indian married woman I cooked for him too. My relationship with food is a love hate one. Very difficult to explain. During my growing up days I was a very picky eater. I ate only roti, rice, bhindi (okra) and ketchup.  I started experimenting with food during my college days. Studying in a reputed college in South Delhi where students come from diverse background made me interact with people from different states of India and shifting to Punjab after my graduation made me come even closer to food. After I shifted my base to Mumbai I started eating mindlessly. This made me put on a lot of weight and to add to it the pandemic made things worse. This year I plan to eat mindfully and work on my health. Which I have religiously been doing for more than 10 days now.  I am grateful to have the life that I am livin...

Then and Now

This was the time when cell phone technology was comparatively new than the bulky land-line phone. I am talking about 2001, I had just got over with my school and that too with exceptionally good marks. Much better marks than I or anyone ever expected out of me and on exceeding everyone's expectations I got a cell phone which I always wanted but never got until now as a reward. I was all set to enter a new phase in my life-"The College Life" and was looking forward to it anxiously. Those days the call tariffs were very high especially high for a fresh college going student like me. My craze for cell phones was at peak during those days as one would never have found me without my cell phone..that too in my hands at all times. My cellphone bared the brunt of falling from my hands many a times due to this. I Got scolded from my elders, My friends made funny and silly jokes about me and my cell phone addiction. which I never p...

Soul Searching

The land of gods Dev Bhoomi (Himachal Pradesh). My connection with the place goes back to my birth. I never really got a chance to know about my roots as I was living in a concrete jungle and was happy with the fast pace life there. During summer holidays our destination had always been.. yes...Himachal. As a kid I never really enjoyed my summer vacations here as I had no friends to spend time with but the only relief was the escape from the  Delhi heat which made me escape to this paradise. To pass 2 months in solitude was really hard. The silence of the jungles near my Grandmother's place made me even more reluctant to go there every summer. But I did. kids don't have a choice.. Do they? During my childhood days my friends used to envy me when they heard that I am from Shimla as for everyone it was a tourist paradise. I never really felt connected to the place what so ever. They used to ask me all sort of questions related to the place which I managed to  answer mo...
