Hi Vishal,

Today when i was watching my one year old son playing with his favorite toy i was taking in the joy of seeing my son learn and grow up. He was so happy and i felt contented to see him joyful and soaking in the love and caring that we were giving him as a family. Suddenly, a longer shadow came over him, it was his elder brother coming in after a brawl with the neighborhood boys. He was angry and frustrated. And he was looking for an easy prey.

A 25 year old girl, from my neighborhood committed suicide last week. It was very painful for me to believe it since I had a daily interaction with that family. How can one become so hard and end the life? Many people in the world today end their lives without knowing the meaning of life. Everyday looking at news papers, we come across at least two to three instances of suicides. Read the rest of this entry »

 
Hi Tizzy,

You might be wondering why I walked out of our relationship and how it all came to an abrupt end. Well, for me it was never a relationship in the first place but just a ‘one minute stand’ that we used to share every now and then when we had nobody else to hook up with on that day. I would like to say that I have been bailed out for one lasting relationship. Read the rest of this entry »

The much awaited monsoon had finally descended on our city with a few continuous and long spells. I ve always looked forward towards this time thru the year, a time to be drenched by the rains. It a great time of relief as the cold drops touch you face and drip in to your soul to soothe. This time I was with my son, who equally enjoys the rains. It was fun splashing and jumping in the poodles created in the courtyard of our house. Suddenly my son stopped playing and asked me a question – Dada where does this water come from, Is there a shower tap in the skies? Does God operate them ?. Why are there bubbles in the water? Why is water flowing away, I want to play, why cant we stop it. Later he would cry when the rains would stop or when it would just drizzle and I would tell him, ask God to open the shower. However these questions lingered in my mind and put me on to do some research on this simple thing called water. And I found there is much more beyond this simple thing called water.

Dear Cathy,

I want to tell you my story before you decide to marry me. I don’t want to keep you in the dark about who I am because I feel it would be shocking and painful for you when you know this after our marriage.

I was born in to a rich family and both my parents were doing well with their careers. Dad was an investment banker and mother was a doctor. So there was never any need in life except the need to be loved. Both of them stayed extremely busy, for them to spend some time with me. I was always taken care of by a nanny who would be enjoying the delicacies in the fridge while I would be in my room, surrounded by battery run toys and stuffed animals for company.

Shekhar,

This letter is as good as an SOS call. I am leaving this at your parents place because I knew no other place I could track you. Although I shared a few things with your parents but I hope this letter will help you to know the whole story. It’s not about me, my health, your career or anything else but it’s about our son Rahul.

Few days ago I was attending an official meet from our compnay at Ahmedabad  Management Association. As usual there’s no proper parking space at the institute so there where hundred’s of car parked on the road. I along with three of my other collegues having not found any place parked our cars outside a society’s gate. In the midst of the meeting on of my collegues who’d to leave early for an appointment called me franatically saying that “all my four wheels have been punctured”. Initially I thought that he’s just joking, but it was not so as he franatically called me and texted me eventually forcing me to come down. And what do I see? All four wheels out of air. And not only mine all three cars where punctured, in all twelve tyres! Read the rest of this entry »
