First Outstation :D

So much excitement there was from just a phone call from my best friend cum colleague Swara about our 99% possibility to go to Delhi for an official trip.

“Are you serious about this?” I couldn’t believe what I just heard. (“Giggles”)

“Easy girl. No there isn’t like 100% certainty unless there is a confirmation mail we are going. And this weekend itself!” Not-so-much excited Swara informed.   

Oh my God, my first ever outstation without my Parents. And that too with best possible colleague and a senior. My mind was like a raging torrent, flooded with stream of thoughts and imaginations like what to pack, what to shop, what to do came. I couldn’t wait to share my happiness and immediately texted Dad about the latest news of my life. But that feeling of enthusiasm can only be known from your voice, so I decided to call Dad. But as a parent and hearing about the place “Delhi”, all he could do is gave me an instruction. I knew many more was about to follow that single instruction once I go home. The day went informing about the trip to my closed ones and next day I got a confirmation mail about the trip.

Now you know all the fuss is at its peak for me. I just hastily wanted to go and to India’s capital and that to for the first time from my office. All smiles. I just wanted to shop and shop. My mind was all occupied with the imaginary scene of me being in Delhi, posing for photographs and selfies, visiting to the famous places, shopping and gifts, etc. But I needed a reality check. We were going for an assignment. Sunday was the day we were leaving Ahmedabad, and for that we needed to plan out all the things related to our audit on Saturday.

“We are not going on a vacation, but on a strict scheduled Audit; we need to complete it in maximum five days”. Thousands of times Swara warned me so she could stop me from dreaming about things I wanted to do at Delhi. But it did not matter. I was in my own world. All excited. We both just glanced through the pages of the files as we were required to have basic information about the assignment that was to be handled, as we were not really interested in the actual thing we were supposed to do.  Nothing so fruitful we had done on Saturday. And amidst all my smiles and chills not even a single thing was ready. But yes the whole set of instructions kept on coming continuously from my worried Parents. And I only nodded my head to each and every instruction.

The great day arrived. I finally was so ready for it! All the experience of travelling and of Delhi will be in the next post. J

P.S. Thank you to my Pooh! She keeps on reminding me to write something and that remainder leads to my activation of posts.

Feminism 2.0

Yesterday, I was having a conversation with my old friend and he asked me if I was still blogging. And I sighed immediately. The worst feeling is not giving time to writing. There are so many things to be told but I just feel too lazy. But now let me make a resolution of at least trying to bring up to you one topic per month. I don’t promise though. So, why this topic? A cliched term? I am not the one to give opinion here. The word feminism has very broad meaning. But I always look up to it and construe the same with my own experiences. I am quite amused by the interpretation of being a feminist and rolling of eyes that is freely accompanied by this topic. The word feminist is interpreted as bitch in a black suit, men-hater and who always consider herself superior, sometimes “divorced” and also annoyed at the entire world. Absolute myths surrounding the word. How many of you come across women starting the topic with “I am not a feminist but...”? I mean why you need to justify? ...

White Walls

I still stand staring at those white walls, They say it did not depict any color at all How could I explain what I saw! Years had passed, but memories were still raw There was so much to it on another side, Surreal it felt, felt like rules I had to abide Relations I nurtured and cared became sour, I knew it ended even if I tried until last hour! Now that the wall was built to separate, That day I knew it was time to regret Everything felt apart, realized it was my mistake, I only wished if Life could give me a retake. I still think about trying all the ways, Even where every deed of mine turned grey That name will be swept away by another windfall, But I will still stand staring at those white walls!                                          ...

Good Morning Ma’am!

“A week in Mumbai”; with this shock I confronted myself. 3 rd outstation in 3 rd year of Internship. And yes I was the senior of two of us going for the office trip. A part of me was excited and a part of me tensed. And there was responsibility on me. The 1 st one probably to catch train on time, followed by reaching the right destination. Finding a lesser known destination is toughest in Mumbai. The time came. My train was scheduled at 10. Things were going on right! And I arrived on time despite the not-at-all expected rains in the month of May in Ahmedabad. But to my relief because of the rains the weather turned so good. And the journey started. Upper berth and book to provide me comfort, with cell phone; enough for whole night. Only a few more hours until I was there. The night passed by with hardly 3 hours of sleep and the station arrived. I was half dead by then with 8 hours of journey. Finding transportation is not a difficult task in Mumbai even at wee hours. The city...
