The Mad Man
Just like any other day, Reema was riding to her work place and like everyday she started her day very early since she had to travel a big distance to reach her work place. The initial part of her travel was through a very deserted lane. Although there were houses here and there scattered through the lane, it was mainly marked by open land and a bi... more...

Let me go home
The Dove wrapper I opened said "Don't think too much". Yes that's what I was doing lately. Went a little overboard this weekend. Just the other day, searched for my car key the entire afternoon until I found it in my Capri pockets, then left my mobile in the car and started frantically searching for it at home, realizing it was time for a call I mi... more...

My Guilt trip
I have about three routes to get home. I normally stick to one of them since I find it safe and most convenient. At times I take another one too which is safe but not so convenient. The third option is my last resort. I'd prefer not to travel that way after 6 pm, but sometimes I have no choice. Like last Friday, there was a change of routes for mos... more...

Sleepless in Seattle
 Had been to Seattle last week. I took that picture of Seattle cityscape from Space Needle. I somehow have always loved these tall buildings. I tell my friend that I want to work on the 22nd floor of a tall building. "Is it a lucky number?" she asks. Well not really, just a random number. I feel really thrilled at great heights. And another thing I... more...

Change
It was time of the year when the new batch arrived at the University. It was Juhi's duty to ensure that the new comers had no big issues with their stay. Her room door carried a big sign "Resident Advisor" and all through the corridor there were signs leading to her room. She was used to being woken up at odd hours. But this time of the year would ... more...

"I dont need it"
My friend and I walked to the dining hall today. The dining hall has a heavy glass door which is normally closed. It takes a little effort to push it open. Now there is another button just near the door. It has a sign of wheel chair on it in blue and is mainly intended for people who are physically challenged. So they do not have to push the door a... more...
