Sacrifices of a Woman…

Tomorrow you may get a working woman, but you should marry her with these facts as well: Here is a girl, who is as much educated as you are; Who is earning almost as much as you do; One, who has dreams and aspirations just as you have because she is as human as you are; One, who has never entered the kitchen in her life just like you or your Sister haven't, as she was busy with studies and competing in a system that gives no special concession to girls for their culinary achievements… One, who has lived and loved her parents & brothers & sisters, almost as much as you do for 20-25 years of her life; One, who has bravely agreed to leave behind all that, her home, people who love her, to adopt your home, your family, your ways and even your family name; One, who is somehow expected to be a master-chef from day #1, while you sleep oblivious to her predicament in her new circumstances, environment and that kitchen… One, who is expected to make the te...

Let’s not get confused with Meridian haha… just thought of glamourising the deadline that befalls me… this June was the deadline my dad has given…   Imagine this: an epic bollywood flick where the dad says “if by the mid of this year you have not found the girl that you would wanna marry, you will have to agree to at least visit (more like spy) these selections of mine”…   In equally epic manner, the son accepts the bet not knowing that he would not even realise time passing by and he’ll be blogging about what is to come in a blink of an eye!!!   So yeah, looks like I gotta adhere, I’m a man of my word, not that I’d be forced to marry any of these girls, but at least I gotta honour by ‘considering’…   All this cause it’s the community that we’re in, pretty small and closed knit, laced with traditions (rules) and it’s not easy to catch sight of the like-species in routine encounters.   Heck, what have I gotta lose, I gave my best shot, messed...

Awaiting Results...

Here I am on the hospital bed, after a gruelling night that never seemed to pass. Visited the doctor yesterday and his earlier diagnostic, he said nothing to worry but since it's a growth near the glands, he suggested a thorough check... Since then up to now, I have been having so many weird thoughts, what if it's something chronic, what if my life is about to come to an end? I have so many things yet to be accomplished, I'm yet to find my Orion... And there is no Mikail out there to carry the legacy of mine!!! Would my existence be some sort of disappearance without a trace??? It was a sleepless night, so many thoughts and it definitely made me realise the things that would matter most... I am praying hard for a positive result... And I know, if it is all fine, then I'm definitely blessed with a second chance to life, which I'm not going to take for granted... A decade has passed and I'd ensure the next decade to be something that anyone would b...
