With all the buzz of Valentines around...Who is your Valentine for the special day!

Bitten by Luv Smuv or still aloof from the love bug? Heart-broken and standing strong, or shedding tears on the ones who left you? Advocator of this day full of love or completely against such special dates! It doesn’t matter to which of the above category you belong, you will inhale and exhale an air full of hearts today on Valentine’s Day. Open the newspapers, turn on the radio, or try shuffling the television channels and I bet it’s the red hearts everywhere.

With the talks and buzz of Valentine’s all over, yesterday at my workplace someone asked me who my Valentine this year was, expecting an obvious answer with a spark in my eye, that, it would be my husband considering that I was recently married. But to their and to my surprise I pondered over it for a little more than obvious time, rather than answering that as a reflex. “Hmm…Valentine! Someone I would want to show my love to on this day” I thought over. My mind was flooded by some facebook posts which I had lately seen some of which said “My son, my Valentine for life”, “My husband, my support, my true Valentine”, “This Valentine’s support a poor and get a Valentine for life” and so on and so forth…Why do I need a Valentine on this day I wondered! Why do I need to stamp my love for my husband, or the dear ones around me? Why can’t I celebrate this day by just spreading smiles around to everyone I meet rather than choosing “the one”? I had my answer and after the long pause my reply was “Well this year I have many Valentine’s and you are one of them”. I promised her a doughnut treat, and well since the day has just begun I am yet to bunk an hour from my hospital and take her out for a little hour of pleasure from the otherwise boring monotonous everyday!  So this Valentine’s I have decided to gift a smile to the ones I meet on an everyday basis since the morning; from my maid who otherwise sees my grumpy face in the morning, to my husband who is always on the giving end on any other regular day I have decided to gift each one of them a smile in some special way of my own. This indeed is a special day, choose your Valentine and make it special in your own way! J

Ranveer Allahbadia is just the tip of the iceberg! #digitalworld

  In a recent incident, popular podcaster and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread criticism for making an inappropriate remark that was deemed unacceptable by many. Thank God for that, or else we are now a society where everything under the sun is rather normalised. I wouldn’t repeat the remark here, I can’t, it's out of my scope to write anything like that. Anyway, after that so-called remark on a show run by a popular comedian, Samay Raina was aired and shared, the internet was set on fire. I casually opened my Twitter on Sunday and was taken aback by the clip which was being circulated. It looked something like this: Some people, popular in the world of the internet sitting on a panel and roasting a contestant that stood in front of them. A highly vulgar remark was made by Ranveer, and the rest of the panel members along with the audience joined in laughter and applause. ‘Ah! Isn’t all this becoming rather common nowadays!’ was my first reaction, following which ...

A drive into the Himalayas

Well, the last week of December is as festive as it can get for anybody and everybody. It’s a week that calls for some year-end celebrations, get together’s and travel. I wanted to plan something for that week since eternity but my usual attitude to push every work till the last moment, made me plan absolutely nothing till almost the 20 th of December! It was on the 20 th that it struck me that we needed to book tickets to travel, and of course, we needed to book a hotel to stay. Various places within the country, including popular destinations like Goa, were packed and out of budget for us. There were two options that we were left with; 1) stay back home and crib 2) explore something that we never explored before. After a series of discussions, we came to a common conclusion to travel to Pokhara city in Nepal. I tried searching a lot to get some details about the roads, the recommended route etc but couldn’t get any detailed post and thus I was certain to post a blog on it. ...

Do you realize what you have or should I take it away from you first !!

After a long tug of war that was going on in my head for I guess months together, I finally submitted my resignation from my current organization. And to my surprise the moment I received a date for my relieving everything around me somewhat changed. The entire experience of my moving to a strange city all by myself, and exploring things people and possibilities hovered over me. All my experiences, happy moments and good gestures by people I met on the way made me a little emotional every day. And at my workplace as well, everyone was much more expressive, and admiring for both my work and my attitude, in short, people became a little more expressive and I became a little more receptive. If both I and my colleagues would have been the same ways while I was regular wouldn’t we have made it much more memorable! I think for some reason we all are a little hesitant to look at the good side of anything, until of course we know we wont have it anymore. Or in other words it wouldn’t be w...
