Aaj Ki Kahani

When you are enjoying something you don't want it to end, isn't it? I was prolonging the end of the book, reading it for the past 4 months and sad that it's done. Engrossed over the end, mindlessly locked the house took my mobile and went for my evening walk. I realized I had left my water bottle on the kitchen counter so came up, took it and in the lift a lady was giving me funny looks. I realized that I was wearing my socks and slippers instead of shoes. Went up again put on the shoes and got on to the task. The sun had set and it was getting dark. The street lights weren't on yet and it was eerie walking in a deserted patch with no lights. I gingerly made my way through the narrow path shrouded by very tall grass, even in daylight this place gives me the creeps. There was a movement in the blades of grass, out flew a black bird. Then suddenly something leapt on to the track, my heart skipped a beat ,a dog with a spectral menacing face and perky ears stared a

Women and Sex.. Are they really getting it...?!! It's the general belief that women don't talk about sex...quite contrary ...women love to talk about sex - Their theory and practical knowledge earns them great grades. Women crack jokes on the subject (really dirty ones that cannot be mentioned here), there's miss know it all ... a miss shy, who with  just some encouragement would put Sunny Leone to shame ....aunty of the group, an advocate of missionary...miss laughing uncontrollably to hide the inadequacies....miss innocent who needs to be educated ...et all. Having friends ranging from the late 20s to the 50s in both the genders and the conversations with all of them  makes me ponder on the necessity of sex and making others believe that you are getting it and getting enough of it. A few like to flaunt their assets, (in some case missing) kind of exhibitionists, I wonder why? They strike a pose accentuating the curves, craving appreciation. The never end

Nothing like a good game of cricket and if it's India and Pakistan head on, the pleasure is infinite! Remembering the words of George Orwell here, "Serious sport is war minus the shooting". Nothing short of a duel when the arch rivals meet !! The temperature was a horrible 40+ with high humidity so I was contemplating to stay and watch it in the comfort of my home. But good sense prevailed and I packed caps, a small hand fan and water bottles. Slathered sunscreen and picked a cotton dress in bright CSK yellow (tweety bird looks as my friend tweeted) reached the venue with 2 hours to spare as we needed to get the best seats available. The parking lot was a good 1.5 kms away from the stadium, we had to walk in the scorching sun. I turned red with the heat and exertion and with my bright yellow dress, I was a sight! The security at the gate refused to allow my water bottles inside, I was sad to part with my favourite bottle, my friend had warned me to tak

To be frank I wasn't impressed by the Thomsons falls. Have seen better ones. There were Maasai tribals and touts around, pestering for a fee to click pictures of the tribals. That's one thing everyone needs to be beware off, the tribals pose for a photograph then charge us for it! We had a long drive ahead of us to the Nairobi city. As usual I was asking so many questions to Moses and if I was silent he enquired if all was well. I happened to notice on the road, till now I had noticed it 6 times and thought why do people drink so much as to fall on the road and sleep...well it's a common occurrence in India so I didn't make it a big deal. But all these men whom I noticed were all lying in a very distinct pose, arms and legs splayed lying prostrate like an "X". So I asked Moses and he explained they were weary travelers who walk for days and a great distance in search of a job or to sell their wares etc. and they just fall on the ground out of exertion and sle
