The other day, I was having lunch with my office friends.  One of my friends got 3 different tiffin boxes. The flat box had parathas and pickles, the round one was filled with lemon rice and the smallest with salad. I was so envious coz all I was having was a plate of Maggi (High on carbohydrate and ‘0’ nutritional value). To add to my dismay, he took out a small packet of homemade cookies sealed in a visible transparent plastic, well covered and stapled. I could not help but ask who prepared his lunch. He promptly replied that his mom did. I realized how much she loved him and all she wanted him was to survive another day in the battle field (uh… that would be our office!!). I asked ‘I hope, you thank your mother for all her efforts and love.’ He looked surprised and said ‘Ahh…No…Infact, I don’t like it… too much love.. don’t you know, too much of anything is not good <wink> ’. Trust me, when he said this, I was so furious that I wanted to lift the butter knife, c...

I was reading an article in a magazine and came across a very interesting piece of information.    According to recent study, it was found that those who had a large network of friends outlived those with the fewest friends by 22%. The reason being good friends discourage unhealthy behaviors such as smoking and heavy drinking. The companionship provided by friends may ward off depression, boost self-esteem, and provide support. One of the important requirements for leading an ideal life is having good friends. A good friend is a blessing in disguise. Friends are your worst critics but are your biggest fans. They are the ones whom you fight with all the time but without them, you will be nothing but lonely. They might get into your nerves but, at the same time, they are a stress buster. Friendship to life is like an anchor to the boat; it keeps you hooked up to what is important in life and will never let you wander clueless. If you have three friends in your ...

The first rule of break up is that there are none!! After a break up, the first thing I did was Cry.  I cried so hard that at one time, my eyes were all swelled up and I had to lift my face to see myself in the mirror.  Crying is not that bad either.  They say, crying once a while not only relieves you from sadness but also acts as a cleansing agent to the eyes. Now, when I think about it, I find it to be true.  My eyes felt so good the next day that, at a party, a guy was all praises for my eyes.  Although he was pretty and hot, I could not trust him. I was afraid he would turn out to be some kind of a psycho killer with a garage filled with some closed glass jars filled with formalin just to preserve the eyes after a kill!! The first thing you fall for after a tragic breakup is definitely the ‘songs’.  If songs would have a face (or a body), I bet it would resemble Russell Crowe or Bradley cooper (smooth, calm and empathetic).  Each song will...

It’s raining and I am completely drenched. I am standing at the bridge; the one where I met you. I am completely broken and I feel like shouting your name and jumping off the bridge coz I have lost you. I lost the only thing in my life which was worth living for. All these years and I never knew how much you meant to me. But now, when you are gone, I am suddenly enlightened. Yes, I have finally realized that I owe my life to you. Oh, I love you and I can’t live without you. I am high on your love and it’s a strangely beautiful feeling coz I exactly know what I want. I now know the purpose of my life – ‘to wake up every morning beside your side, to hold your hand and take the journey of life together’. You were always there for me, but I never saw you. I should have seen you instead of seeing through you. Love comes to people in strange forms, I should have realized that you were not just a friend but more than that. I kept on searching for the one true love but never realized...
