        The motor car started off from the garage, Mrs. ERISED NITSOL went through her to do list. She was halfway through the list completing chores and checking the boxes in the list. A cute babble made her add few more boxes to her list like, changing the soiled pyjamas, feeding her little tyke and so on. Sweet faced tucked on her hip she moved into the kitchen to get some food. This was her most challenging task of every day which made her transform into a storyteller, a clown, a singer and at times even dancer untill her curly haired doll's tiny stomach got filled. After edutaining her two year old for an hour she put her back to nap and checked all the recently added boxes in her list and moved into her utility area  where she Sorted all clothes, washed them separately and pegged them accordingly, this made her feel a bit relieved as most of the boxes in the list got checked. The terrace garden plants got watered for the day then she made it ...

Being USEFUL or Being USED-FULL?!!

                              It was one such exhausted weekend and I planned to do my monthly shopping.  This time my shopping list included  Perfume as the 6 month old Victoria's secret bottle got shifted from my closet to the empty perfume bottle collection box. I decided to shop the perfume at the last as I was completely aware  of how long I would take to buy one.                              When I entered the perfume section in the supermarket I was greeted by a salesperson with a freindly face. When he asked for my preferences I replied that I'm looking for a different brand, especially the one that would last longer both in terms of quantity and fragrance. I knew I sounded funny yet I was convinced that I had made my requirement clear. With his help I sorted out  few perfumes and finnally picke...

Dada - The Selfless

Image
                     The one question I was never able to answer was,"How will you define the word 'Appa'?". 'Appa' - Is it a phrase? Or a sentence? May be an emotion?. Whatever be it, To me it just means one thing,The selfless. Yes , The biggest room in my home is mine. The largest wardrobe is mine. The most comfortable bathroom in the house belongs to me. The crunches in the refrigerator, vegies in the vegetable basket, Newspapers on the shelf and shoes in the shoe rack, all of these have been mine. They were always organized and maintained according to my needs and wants. Appa has just been the source of it. His entire bank savings got depleted for my education and marriage. Through all the walks of my life he is with me not as a dictator but as a silent spectator. Therefore it's not the word LOVE, but the word SELFLESS that  defines him the best.                   ...

The Marble and the Sculptor

 Arjun :    The very thought of failure                  gives me grief and I feel                  dejected, I can't fight. Krishna:  When you've such                  responsibility it's very                  important that you're in a                 good state. Whomever the                opponent may be,If you're                inefficient in a battle you              get dead.                                                   It all seems as if it happened just a fortnight ago. The day I ...

IN MEMORIAM

                                    _The most beautiful things in life cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart_                    On the contrary today life has become something that happens to you while you are looking at your smart phone. I consider myself to be the most fortunate of all as I'm a 90’s kid and that simply means I had an awesome childhood. Moral values got inculcated in me not through gadgets and Google but through My Grandparents and my teachers. There is one such valuable message I learnt while I was in my Upper Kindergarten that I wish to share with everyone.                              It was a Friday; Children of Upper Kindergarten usually do reading activities on all Fridays. My class teacher Mrs.Rosy bro...

The Verb is greater than the Noun

Image
            There is one question we all encounter from our childhood till now, 'who are you?'.   Of all I regard this question to be unique because of its answer. An answer that undergoes transformation with the pace of time. For better understanding let me elucidate the above statement with a precise example.                     When a caterpillar is confronted with the question, 'who are you?' , the answer would be, ' I'm a caterpillar '. When the caterpillar transforms into an beguiling butterfly with the pace of time, the answer for the same question changes to, ' I'm a butterfly '. Here it's not about the butterfly to be admired or the caterpillar to be looked down upon, It's all about the metamorphosis. The determination of a caterpillar to get out of its comfort zone and stay  wrapped inside a cocoon and the decision of the newly formed butterfly toget it's wings crushed t...
