I was about to leave Pune last month and finally move to Gurgaon. It was something that I really wanted from long. So before I leave I wanted to do all that which I should. Only 2 weeks before leaving, I got this awakening. And I almost striked most of the things off my list. Watching a live comedy show was also on my list. And it happened all by chance. One plesant sunday morning I woke up, scrolled through my feed and there it was. "Yo peeeeeplz its going to be Phun tonight..." "OMG! He's coming to Pune... Tonight!!! “I screamed through the house. Before I could brush my teeth, I got my tickets done.  And how could I miss it, my favorite comedian was coming to my city. My first live stand-up comedy show and that too of my favorite comic. In an eyes blink, came the laughter filled evening. We reached the venue and there he was on the stage. The man himself… JEEVESHU AHLUWALIA………… To me he appeared nothing less than a magician except with all his joke...

It's just been a couple of days since I joined my new job and even fewer days at this workplace. And I am already missing my previous organisation's mess. I ate in that mess for about 18 months and we all complained about how fewer options we had. My only staple food there was parantha , which my favourite vendor made according to my preferences. I was so used to him, and he to me(my orders :P). He knew my order before me uttering. I am at this new office and I am stoned by the options available here. They have only 2 vendors one for meals and other for snacks. I have been struggling to eat good food. While scrolling my facebook feed, sitting in the cafeteria, pissed by not getting something yummy, I came across this post by Yammy Yum. They are the new thing on my feed and I have been liking their witty posts lately. Suddenly I realised I could order from them. Every new venture is worth a try. Sceptical at first, because of my previous experience, but still message...

Hey People, you know I recently broke up with my previous organisation. And since beginning this year everything has been crazy. I have kept busy all this while.  January began with celebrations, welcoming the new year and a cracking a good offer. Then the same boring office to home schedule took over. Had to do Knowledge transition with my team . Presentations to the clients, conducting sports events at work. And a million other things to set up before I leave.  Then came my favourite month, February. The month of love and the month of my birth.This year I decided to celebrate the day with my family. I was excited and was doing it after 3 years now. So the month began with travel and then numerous rounds of interviews for various companies. And now on the last day of March, I finally got some time to write for you all. This month was my favourite part of the year so far. My notice period completed around the first fortnight.I almost left this city. And in the m...

Lately, Facebook was flooded with a post by a Lady.She said, she keeps some packets of Parle - G (Biscuits) whenever she's travelling so she could offer them to the beggars she meets. Very thoughtful isn't it? Well, I have lived most of my life with this belief. My parents taught us so. But from few years and a few incidents, my beliefs have changed.And this thing has become a controversial topic for me. Let me walk you through few of the incidents from my life. Incident 1: Lil kids. Chandigarh. Once I was roaming around in the corridors of sector 35's market when a little guy came to me, offered me a God's 3D picture and said: "Didi, yeh photo le lo... boni ni huyi... 3 din se kuch khaya ni h, kuch khila do...! (Sis, please buy this picture. I haven't made any money since morning. Haven't eaten anything since 3 days)" He saw me with those sad puppy eyes, and I was moved. I felt bad for that 6 something kid. I asked him to come with me to a ne...

Hey Readers, Its been really long since I have shared something with you guys... I am really sorry for that. The past few months have been a roller-coaster ride. They have been hard and rough to me and have also given me some blessings. Well, I broke up. I was disturbed and it took me a while to stabilise. From past two years, I was in a relationship. It was a crazy ride. I wasn't happy with it, but I was so used to it that I feared to quit. My problems were minor to some but for me they were huge. I have been disrespected behind my back, not trusted, and I was not considered capable. Although I have tried my very best every time, I have been active, worked really hard to keep up but still, I wasn't appreciated. Thought things will improve with time but they didn't. Many times, when I used to be so frustrated and on the verge of shattering, an article used to haunt my mind. Long ago, I read an article, which said "Whenever you are in a relation where you...
