Smiles and small wins

Meera looked around, searching for a friendly or familiar face amidst the crowd. All she craved was a smile or just someone noticing her. She had had a long day today at the resto-bar and her boss had asked her to clock in an extra couple of hours because it was Friday.  "I am not a shadow to be ignored, I am a star" she smiled hoping someone would reciprocate. Meera glanced at the shadows swaying to the music in blinking red and yellow lights. Oh, wait! Was it just music or the alcohol-induced trance? Or both? As she waited by the women's restroom, she adjusted her uniform to breathe in more air. Her workstation was miles apart from the airconditioned hall and a small table fan was placed near her stool. More than air, the fan exuded pesky noise. She let out a long sigh and peeked at her wristwatch. She felt some relief! Meera wished for time to pass sooner. She imagined sitting on her bed and watching the blissful face of her sleeping daughter. "You will be home wi

The day I turned 28 ;) (Yes I dare to say the number)...Am I really this old?

Twenty-eight years ago on Monday, 22 nd December 1986 an angel descended on the earth amidst dense fog and chilling winter…she charmed one and all :P Everyone was celebrating and congratulating!  Monday, 22 nd December 2014, this time too dense fog had enveloped Delhi! Freezing breeze brushed past my face and ruffled my hair, I couldn’t help but smile…it was the same years ago, Man!! This is my real vaala birthday (considering the weather conditions and the fact that it was Monday like in ’86)  Early morning auto ride...and I like this tree But alas, I was reporting to work this time unlike my previous birthdays, when I was pampered silly by one and all!! Mind raced back to my grand  birthday celebrations last year…that was supposed to be my last birthday as a bachelorette…as fate would have it, here I am! very much single, hale and super happy :) Dad did pass a remark ‘this should be your last one as a bachelorette in this house’ and I was like ‘ho ho ho’.  It has

A happy to endearing Neeji :D

Neeji Neeji Neeji I know you are not very excited about your BirthDAY this time! I hope this short and humble post would make you smile your 1000watt vaala smile. Your Birthday ought to be special coz if you weren't born then, we wouldn't have met!! That reminds me of our first ever meeting, the credit for which goes to PJ and AOL's silence program. We were not even friends then and you were already ensuring if I had had proper meals and was comfortable. It was so nice of you to drive us to the venue early morning, despite the heavy fog and you not being able to clearly view the road ahead :P In silence, you wanted to tell us...'I can't see clearly, please drive' and I used to wipe the windshield thinking this damn fog is the root cause of your concern...thank god we didn't end up in hospital :P My first impression of you was 'how will she do this course? she wouldn't be able to keep silence' but I was so wrong! Your determinati

A Happy to Ms. Versatile

  Dreamy Sadaf All set to conquer hearts!   Fresh :) Well, Sadaf aka Ms. Creative, Intellectual, Photographer, Painter, Poetess, Researcher, Debater, Dreamer and SRK Fan celebrates her birthday and I get to write another birthday special post :) Blessed I am! This super awesome lady is a warehouse of talent and she always plays this card of modesty. Ever since I have known her, she has always been that humble, caring and generous lady who always makes sure you are comfortable and taken care of. In our girl gang, she and I are known to be somewhat ‘shareef’ and ‘calm’ ;) She is such an amazing orator and debater; I really envy her for her articulate disposition! She can talk on and on for hours, and it is not just Jibber Jabber. I love listening to her :) With her, there is some strange long-distance wireless connection. I mean, she is sitting countries away and I don’t feel the distance at all! Whenever we meet, it seems as if we met yesterday! And hence, she do
