Divya's questions to Me ~
  • If you had to describe yourself with the help of a song which song would that be?
Ae jindagi gale laga le, humne bhi tere har ek rang ko gale se lagaya hai…hai na? – I feel this song says exactly what my heart feels every time!


  • What is that one thing you would do differently if you felt no one was judging you?
Just be – as I am always being something that people want me to be for the fear of being judged. But if I knew I was not being judged I would just be myself.


  • If you had the choice of starring in a movie which movie would you choose and what character?
I would want to be Mrs. Fiona in all the 3 parts of the movie Shrek as I totally adore him!

  • What is that one cause you are very passionate about?
CSA.

  • What is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?
There are few people I have met through my blog who are very special to me only for one reason – It’s the way they make me feel – through their words (as we have never met). Their words of encouragement are constantly driving me to keep writing. I carry a printout of some of their mails with me, just to remind myself at times of trouble what my true worth is. Writing such beautiful mails to a complete stranger like me and bestowing their love is the nicest thing anyone could have ever done for me. ***TOUCHWOOD***

  • Who was your favourite cartoon character when you were a child?
Then and now my favourites are still the same – Dennis the menace and Calvin and Hobbes – both kids known for their notoriety just like yours truly.

  • If you could bring a tourist to your city where and why would you take him/ her there?
I would take him/her to the river front for various reasons:

·         It’s my most favourite place in the city.

·         I hate crowded places.

·         I love water bodies in any form – river, sea, lakes, waterfalls etc

·         It is very serene and peaceful sitting beside it.

  • What does your name mean? To what extent is that meaning applicable in your context?
My name means kindness. I would say it is applicable to me to quite an extent though sometimes I do tend to get rude as I am known to be brutally honest.

  • Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?
I see myself as a better human being, having learnt from my past mistakes, still in the process of learning how to live and love.

  • What is the best gift you have received?
Someone learnt my favourite song (in my mother tongue) and sang it for me!

  • If you know that today was your last day on this earth how would you like to spend it and why?
I might sound harsh but I would want to spend it all alone, reminiscing about all the good and bad things I have done in life, smile at some, crying at some and in the end feeling glad that I gave my best to all that came my way!



Now over to Ruya's questions...

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

By

Dear Diary, I fell in love with Mumbai when I first visited it in 1995. Bombay, as it was then known, fascinated me since then.  If you ask me what made me fall in love with this city, I perhaps cannot explain. It wasn't that I was seeing the sea for the first time. It wasn't even the biggest city I had been to till then. Still, there was something so magical about this place. The trip was a short one lasting less than a week but this city now had my heart. Years later, I arrived here all alone on my first solo trip in 2005 and fell in love all over again. I got my first job and was required to come to Mumbai frequently. The local trains, the chaos on the roads, the crowds, the humdrum, the salty smell in the air, the stale air- everything about this city was intoxicating for me.

Essay: How to mourn the loss of love?

Image Source: Unsplash.com I remember the first time I mourned the loss of love was when I was eleven.  For me, dance was love at that time. I had discovered a strange joy as I glided in and out of those movements. Every time I swirled; I could feel my heart soar. Any beat that strained to reach my ears, tempted me to move my body to its tune. I just knew I was born to dance and that is the only thing I wanted to do, all my life.  I had my reasons to believe so and a very simple one at that. It made me happy. That was a reason enough. However, my father thought otherwise. Girls from good families, do not dance. That line was enough to break all those rosy dreams of dancing on a stage. The day my brother was sent to the same dance class which was not good for me, was the day I experienced heartbreak for the first time.  That is the day I mourned the loss of my first love- Dance.

Metro Diaries: The Art of Making Love

Image Source: Unpexels (Cottonbro) “Do you know why is it called making love?” He whispered, pulling the comforter closer.  I don’t remember for how long we had been in that room, on that bed. Lying aimlessly, just feeling each other in silence. I managed to just whimper to denote my curiosity.   “Because that is the moment we create love. We are the closest we could ever be to love, in its purest form. It is sheer magic as we are naked, in every form. Mentally, physically and emotionally before that one person, we love. We know they can hurt us, as much as they want to, in the way they want to. But love gives us that power to trust them, that they won’t.”   “And here I was thinking it is a need. Something you want at that moment and you get it!”
