Tree Tales

Love beckons again. O my clad in white and pink, dame! I’m back in my blooming hues, Where the hell are you! Feels just like yesterday, Or last spring it was? You flirted with me from your balcony, Smiled and made gestures. That’s how season one, Of our romance begun! And then, One bright sunny… Continue reading Tree Tales

@ndgurmeharwonttweet: trolled into silence

Just a few months back, I accidentally clicked on a silent video. A young girl’s restrained silence seethed through the innards of my heart. Every placard she held up reflected some pain, some anguish. A daughter of a martyred father holding up a placard saying she had less, if any, memories of the father and… Continue reading @ndgurmeharwonttweet: trolled into silence

Date thy soul…shun all guilt!

A decade and a half back, I stepped into a new world nimble feet with beautiful dreams and was welcomed warmly by a gush of lovely people and wonderful relations.

What a Devil of a mom you were…Mama!

Your odyssey as a mother could get a real wacky start, if you are a girl who has grown up on set stereotypes. Stereotypes that are so theatrically heralded by our Hindi movies and daily soaps. From the day we decided we were ready for a baby, I started fantasizing myself 'passing out' dramatically in… Continue reading What a Devil of a mom you were…Mama!

‘Faith’ful Miles!

An aged grandmother sitting in the courtyard glowing in the grandeur of her white clothes, milky hair, a loving gaze holding a Gutka (religious book having banis and verses) and reciting verses from the Banis (compiled verses) the whole day. A father who appeared to be an atheist but would never miss chanting the mool… Continue reading ‘Faith’ful Miles!

Keep Calm Maa… I’ve just turned 13!

Every year just before your birthday, I compulsively go through a plethora of emotions. Year after year, reliving the moments when you arrived, rolling your eyes, looking dazed and amazed, while being bounced around by paternal and maternal elders. My emotions have always been quite quirky; either too early or too late. Late they were,… Continue reading Keep Calm Maa… I’ve just turned 13!

The frills that tug on my Heartstrings…

Just a step out of my den and I would switch off my mains, be tempted to break into a jig, raise my arms and soar up an up like a bird who attains bliss beyond a height. And then that trance that took me through catching up with friends, gossiping with cousins and giving… Continue reading The frills that tug on my Heartstrings…

MEMORIES……KEEP VISITING

Three months have gone by. It is as if I have lived three decades looking at lovely images of a tall and handsome man smiling at me from nooks and corners.....the man who was around me for a good 40 years as my father. Life moves on. There are moments when whilst laughing my lungs… Continue reading MEMORIES……KEEP VISITING

Vaccinating years…gone bys

Yesterday's happened to be the last one! Looking back every shot had its own share of drama -some low pitched and while others over-the-top. With the exception of the first one, on all others my boy ensured that he remained the protagonist and none of us hogged the limelight. Clearly remember the first one. With… Continue reading Vaccinating years…gone bys
