Maliny's questions ~

  • Your dream holiday destination ?

Mauritius

  • Favourite movie , music band / musician , author ?

R. K Narayan.

  • Which do you prefer scribbling on a piece of paper or typing onto a laptop?

I prefer scribbling for reasons unknown.





  • Have any of your wishes come true ? Tell us about it.

Oh yes ! Loads of them. I have received an anonymous email from a reader of my blog complimenting me on my blog. She finished reading it entirely in 4 days and the words she used to both me and my blog was like a dream come true. I will truly cherish that moment for ever.



Love you S for this <3


  • Would you like to own an apartment or a house reason ?

I like houses more because of the open spaces around them. I love flowers and hence a garden with a swing in my house is a must.



But then am also tempted to have an apartment solely for the heights they can be at and the view you get from the balcony.

So my answer is CONFUSED!



  •  Favourite time of the day?

Night – I love the quietness around me a lot.

  • Do you have a best friend? Tell us about the wonderful qualities you like about him / her  .

Yes I do. I have written a letter on him describing all that he is. You can read it HERE



  • Any television series / movie you would watch umpteen times over?

Malgudi days – I simply love it beyond words!



  • Where would you rather spend your retired life . In your ancestral place or in your current city ?

Ancestral place – I love the olden days a lot and my ancestral city has somehow retained that old charm.

  • What would your Bucket list comprise of?

My bucket list compromises of many things like clearing few exams , writing more, some favourite author’s books on me to be read list, learn contemporary form of dance. Most importantly from this year I plan to start giving back to the society in some form or the other – however little it maybe.

  • Tell us about your current passions in life . 

My current passions would be – blogging, reading, dancing, travelling, photography and listening to music.

Last but not the least, Ajay's q n a

Diary of a Lost Wanderer - Lost & Found

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!”
