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.

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...

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...

Guilt

I was in 2nd year of college , had just given my final exams and was enjoying my summer break. Sitting at home after a while becomes difficult for everyone leave teenagers. To overcome my boredom I planned to do a summer job. With some help from my sisters friend I got one as a Counselor in an Institute where English and Computers were taught. I was determined to do this job as before this I had tried my hand in many other odd jobs and was unsuccessful . I was all prepared and strong willed not to give up this one before a month.  My first day at the job went knowing my work and getting familiar with the working of the Institute. Initially I found the place good, but as an when things progressed I saw the ugly side of it. The Institute was charging way too much money for the English speaking course and there were no qualified teachers to teach the students. I interacted with a few students on a personal front and got to know that what all was promised to the students was not d...
