When I see stars on t.v. I always envy them for their perfect bodies and how they maintain them, seemingly effortlessly. I would wonder why somethings are just not doing it for me. So it was surprising to see Rani Mukherjee struggle with her weight issues, to learn about her eating habits and how she would put on weight between movies and would ( Read more... )

About a month back I had two of my college friends over. After some time my mum returned from the movies with her friend. When my friends saw the guy my mum was with, they started commenting on the fact that S. is so young and it looks bad etc etc. It was my fault but I didn't stop them, in fact I got more and more angry at my mum. At the time I ( Read more... )

In life we sometimes meet people whose presence can simply cheer us up when we are feeling down, even if we never meet them again.

I guess distance does preserve the good will. I know she cares for me, loves me and I do care for her too but we are soo totally different. And I just cannot shake off the feeling that am a ( Read more... )

I have been preparing for journalism entry exams, all over again. Getting selected twice and always refusing to join *sigh. Anyways, this time I am considering moving out of India. Call it strange but for some time now I am very restless. I just keep feeling like I must move out, like its time.... But am afraid. I am so very afraid. Of being alone ( Read more... )

Sometimes people tell me how they remember every detail of special days, the sights and sounds and colors. But as I sit down to recall days, I miss the details.
