The last time….
Of late, Facebook has been bouncing memories back at us….’see
your memories, you have memories to look back’ kind of stuff. And I have been

some pictures, and some reminders of becoming friends with various people on
fb....

It's a boys team!!
There she was… a tiny bundle,
wailing and kicking with all her might. I looked at her and fell in love all over again. She was a wish fulfilled, a prayer answered, and as I kissed her, I thought there was nothing more precious and flawless than her- my newborn daughter. 'Isn't she the prettiest girl...

The Cherry on Top
There was a time when I was young, brimming with energy, and living as if the world was waiting to be conquered by me.

Ghost Uncle????
I lived in Kolkata for a few years after I passed 12th from my home town Haldia. I pursued my graduation and post graduation courses in Kolkata while staying as a Paying Guest with a bunch of other girls.

To shout, or not to shout!
A very intelligent neighbor of mine once asked me ‘Do you
know the secret behind Lata Mangeshkar’s melodious voice even at this age?’ I

The Poor Thing
After packing her children off to school with hasty goodbyes and rushed hugs and kisses, Asha came back from the school-bus pick-up point and realised that her maid had not turned up today also.

Nostalgia and hope
Let me first tell you that I am no fan of daily soaps on the television. But while helping my little daughter with her lunch, which takes really long, I feel the need to watch something and keep myself occupied to that I don't get impatient with my tiny little girl.
