What's in a name? I am....

I wake up early in the morning, dress up beautifully in a chiffon or silk saree, sing aarti infront of  God when everyone else is deep asleep, prepare breakfast and lunch and go and wake up my husband and kids. Both wake up to a beautiful music, suddenly there is a gush of fresh air and the tendrils in my hair flutter. I smile and look at them and wake them. The smile continues.
My sister-in-law and mother-in-law treat me badly, but I'm confident that I will one day make them love me. I keep smiling. I cry, but not infront of everyone. My husband's PA is his secret girlfriend. I know but I keep smiling. My maid is into witch craft. I know..but I keep smiling and say 'sab theek hojayega maa'. I'm kidnapped, but still confident and while I'm with the kidnapper, I make sure I'm dressed up nicely. Even when I cry(alone), my eye liner and maskara are intact.
Any time of the day (or night), I'm dressed impeccably. Yes I love my danglers and necklace and bangles.

Men of my home have no work. I'm not sure where they work or what they do..but they are there. Always confused. I manage the house. By the way...every other day we have a function at my own home. My husband gets engaged to his PA, the engagement breaks. The PA gets engaged to my brother, the engagement breaks. The PA gets engaged to my driver, the party is still at my home. This too breaks. Why, coz I know that the PA is not trustworthy. It doesn't end here, the PA commits suicide. Again, for no reason the shok sabha is at my home. I'm dressed up white, but folks, my mascara, eye liner and lipstick are intact. ( water resist brand..its a secret).
I fight all sorts of enemies, the family, neighbor, beast, dayan,chudail, cat, dog,monkey.. Sorry got carried away. I do this all alone and don't tell my family.. Coz I know they are anyways useless...

Oh btw.. I also do own a business. Every other day I start a new business..suddenly.I'm not sure about my education, but I can take care of 'any' business. Name it and I can do it.

Don't tell me you still don't recognize me? I'm the quintessential serial 'LEAD' lady.. Gimme any name and I'm that.

Do you now hear the touchy background music?

Que sera sera

One of my favorite Spanish Quotes 'Que Sera Sera' means 'what will be, will be'. This quote is so true. I may sound a bit philosophical but wanted to write this for quite some time now. There is a lot being said about being positive, dreaming and attracting what one wants,about not being broken on not getting what one wants. So many books are being sold on such topics and no doubts they make sense. Out of experience, I have realized that the base behind every advice is that what has to happen, will happen. One can't stop it. But one needs to accept what has happened and act accordingly. When a book talks about attracting what you want (say a bungalow), one can't just sit and keep dreaming. Actions need to be according to the intended goal. In achieving the said goal, we are sure to encounter a lot of obstacles. Beauty lies in facing them and planning the next steps. The world is actually a classroom, with each one being your peer and life is a very tough t...

Book Review- The Sialkot Saga by Ashwin Sanghi

When one of the best authors churns out his thoughts where fiction is mixed with history and also has a philosophical angle, we get a book which is an absolute page Turner! Again I will go by the attributes my review would be based on: Language: Impeccable is the word. Story and Pace: It's like a watching a movie where you can't wait for the suspense to unfold. You feel what the characters feel. Emotions, courage, power everything is demonstrated beautifully. There was one point I was questioning the need for exploring Hastinapur angle, but in the end I did get my answer. Pace of the story rarely slows down. One gets to witness various events, starting from India's Independence to the Mumbai attack. Political angle given to characters gives an opportunity to the readers to have a glimpse of India's political change, right from Indira Gandhi's time to Modi's. It is indeed a point to think on how GK(bookish one) can rather be taught in a story fo...
