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? ...

Short Tale: #1 when you have that “baby” face

No, I am not talking about people looking younger than their age; but people who actually look 6-7 years younger than their age. And now I know that is the case with me. I have like encountered more than 50 cases of now where the world reminds me I don’t actually look a grown up girl sorry rather an “adult”. Whenever I go to stationery shop the shopkeeper always asks me that whether I am in 10 th and giving my boards? This means I look 8 years younger. And then again I need to explain him that no I just love shopping this stuff. I have never been taken seriously in shops and malls as they think I am school going kid. I am in my last year of CA internship; in my workplace also all of the seniors exclaim I would look the youngest CA soon. So last week we had a trip to Hyderabad for some audit related work. We were returning to Ahmedabad in flight and the only seats which were available were those near the emergency exits. We adjusted ourselves there. The air-hostesses came to ...

We miss you Grand mom!

That day, 31 st august, 2013; mom came in my room and in a heartbreaking tone she ordered me to shut off the T.V. I probably knew the reason but never wanted that to come true. As soon as I entered my grand mom room she lost all her senses. Did I really lose her? Was she no more in this world? I stood there; unable to move myself and trying to believe the reality! Tears came from my eyes. Everything stood still for me. I wish she lived more. I cried in an empty room remembering each and everything she did for me. My grandmother. More than a grand mom she was equal to my mom. I spent 19 years of my life with her. She pampered me like no one else and she probably had a hand in spoiling me and making me so stubborn. She used to tell me stories and sing lullabies every night to make me sleep till I turned 15. She would feed me at times when I had a row with my parents and she always fought with mom and dad to support me. She encouraged me even in studies and every time I used to ach...
