Wish List - 2013

By

“It seems to me we can never give up longing and wishing while we are still alive. There are certain things we feel to be beautiful and good, and we must hunger for them.”― George Eliot

Off late one of the most wonderful lessons I learnt is that just like happiness, love when chased eludes you but the moment you sit quietly it will come and surround you in abundance. Being loved is such a blissful state to be in as it makes you listen to all those tiny voices your heart has which otherwise go unheard.

I have always loved wishing - big and small. You must have guessed that by now looking at my various wishlists. So the moment I felt the gloomy clouds were surrounding me, I decided to make another one - to listen to what my heart is saying, to feel good and to also know what to do next. 

Sharing a part of me, my dreams, my wishes and my desires with you~


  • Sit in a merry go round 
  • Learn singing (Ahem ahem not for any Indian Idol but for myself!)
  • Learn guitar ( Yaaram inspired me which was long forgotten after listening to Chura liya hai)
  • Dance one day like there is no tomorrow just the way I used to before for hours together
  • Own a house 
  • Be in an unknown place all by myself for a week
  • Join a dance class and perform once on Bezubaan and O re piya
  • Travel as much as I can in the next one year
  • Let my hair down once and have fun w/o worrying what others will think
  • Meet my blogger friends (No, I am not naming anyone. But I am sure you all know that I really want to meet you!!) Update: Yup am striking only the first word because I met some of them. Will cross all when have met all of them.
  • Learn car driving and buy one 
  • Work on a book for submission to publishers (Yessss finally I feel like that moment has come) Update: In progress
  • Dress smartly in western clothes one day (Specially an LBD!!)

Not too big, neither too small but yes full of hope and desires is what this wishlist is made of. Keeping my fingers crossed as I tread on this path carefully towards making this dream a reality. After all it is rightly said ~

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?

By

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!”
