“Sound, Tomorrow we need to go for shopping, prepare a list!” - My mother told me as soon as came home from office yesterday. “Oh No” - I shouted inside my mind! I didn’t want to go out anywhere,but then my mother was right. I needed to buy a few things before packing off to coimbatore and weekends only I’ll get time! But still the word shopping somehow makes me uncomfortable. I simply hate shopping! One of the reasons might be the way I have been shopping from my childhood. Whenever we needed to go out and buy something, we would make a plan. List out all the things needed to buy and then mark the shop where we have to buy it. We had our regular shops and stores to visit in Bhilai(after all it didn’t have so many shops to chose from!). Then we would visit these places, choose only the ones we needed and return back home. Never had we gone out of the list and bought something or taken time in choosing.If it was a dress, whatever was shown from that we would choose one and come back. Bu...

I tried my hand at writing a short story. In my company we hve internal blogging system and there is a short story contest - with the theme "One night story". The story should happen between 8p.m to next day 8 am. This is my first attempt at writing a story. Thought of sharing it here too :) ************************************ 2009 I lay in my couch staring at him. My whole life, I have been faithful to him. Now old and tired, my days are numbered. But he was in his own world, surrounded by books. He didn’t even bother to look at me. As I see him leaving the room, I am reminded of that night - Bewitched Night - when my life got changed! Everything that I had was never the same. ————————————————————————————————– 1997 It is his 7th birthday. John. He is my best friend. We both are inseparable and need no one else to play with. The night has started off just like any other night. It’s around 8.30 p.m. We finished our ball-game and dashed into the house for celebrations and spec...

Music Last Saturday evening, I went to a concert held by Chennai Rotary Club in Music Academy,Chennai. The Show was full of hindi music of 60’s,70’s and 80’s era. It was an awesome event compered by Anurada Shriram and singers were Anil Bajpai,Ganesh,Jaya Rajagopalan and Anuradha herself. Anil Bajpai practically eats,drinks and sleeps with Rafi’s voice as he sings only Rafi’s songs and has a voice almost same as Rafi. Anyone listening to him for first time might mistake that they are listening to Rafi. Ganesh sings mostly Kishore Kumar’s songs and has an equal charm and fun in his voice as Kishore Kumar’s. Jaya sings a lot similar to Asha Bhonsle, but surprised many by changing her voice to Shamshad Begums’ while singing “kajra mohabbat waala” Anuradha,yet again, proved how versatile singer she is!! She sang both Lata and Asha’s songs and made the evening with the way she compered the show!! I had an awesome evening, completely lost in all those charming old songs, i grew up li...
