The day was breaking fast, the darkness of the night before had been dispelled by the dull light of the dawn, it was cloudy but there was a breeze blowing from the East and the clouds would disappear fast too, "damn, but I so liked the cloud these days," there had been times when it was only the Sun for me, if it wasn't there I would scamper in to my duvet and sleep till it came out again. But...

A Golden Sunny Day
Anjali was in a relationship again and though I was happy, "and few things did that to me," I was scared as well, the "what ifs ?" were giving me the fright, she had been through one bad relationship to another and it worried me no ends that this one would give her a similar headache, "to say the least." Every morning when I get up, I feel the positivity of the morning opening up its doors...

The Bigger Picture
I sat down to eat dinner with a few thoughts in my mind, "actually there were a million of them," one of them said,"complete dinner and go to sleep," I had just finished a spell binder called "Inferno" and was happy with what Dan Brown had dished out, and it probably was a good idea to go to sleep now with my mind chugging out literary ecstasy. The other thought was to call Anjali and find...

The Tao of Relationships
Anjali had been busy during the day, she had new clothes to buy, some work at the parlor and lots of chit chat to do with her folks, "and you know I had given up on mine," when I reached her place at 5 pm she had just got up from her beauty sleep, "two hours flat, would you believe it ?" and I had to push her to wake up. I walked into the kitchen, it was teeming with food items virtually every...

The Man-Woman Conundrum - the sequel
Anjali sat down to think about it, and she was asking me for help, "and she had always read me well," she had been seeing this man for a month now, "actually they had been talking on the phone more than anything," he was not somebody she would be seen around with normally, but he seemed like a nice guy, "or so she told me," I was still to figure out what was going on in her head, but I knew for sure...
The Coping Tool
Colonel Seth is a good friend of mine and Anjali's, he is a retired army officer and lives in the quaint little town of Chandigarh in North India, over the prolonged period of time that we have known him, he has always seemed a toned down, matured, gentleman at all times, "damn, sometimes when I think with him I am just meeting me". Whenever he is in Delhi it is a pleasure to meet him and entertain...

The Waterworld of the Indian Ocean
Agriculture has been the mainstay of India for centuries, almost 80% of the population at one time was involved in it and today almost 50 % of the population is engaged in it. The green revolution in North India brought with it the prosperity that demanded hard work and the North Indian Farmer was well equipped to handle for it. Soon mechanisation became the norm with tractors and harvesters...

The Panic Attack
So Anjali had a new boss, a woman boss for a change and she hated her. I had often contemplated the differences between a woman and man as a superior, and more often than not the woman came up trumps, it isn't like I have a bias, however these were the facts that I understood well now, a woman is much more objective in her approach to work and sans the ego that most male bosses are known to...

The Coffee Tete-a-tete
I had left nothing to chance last evening, got a dinner for Anjali, "she was late," taken Romeo out for a walk, "this Golden was alone for most of the day," called up a few friends, "and I really had only a few of them today," and taken my sedan out to the dry cleaners. Having settled into an evening, I decided I needed a coffee at my favourite cafe, so had walked to my sedan, driven out to...

The Woman With A Limp
The only way out of this conundrum was to do something radical, that would change the course of things, "here I was sitting on my hiney and finally thinking," normally I am somebody who would just let things take their own course and not interfere with the natural course of action, however sometimes when the time for procrastination is over and action must dictate over thought. We wait and...

Rakhi - The Bond Between Siblings
Anjali's brother walked into the room, "damn, he had so little a thought process going," with an air of callousness for everything around him, "like he was the only cat around," Pranab had this thing about alcohol, he was a habitual and Anjali detested this about him. It was one thing to drink and another to be an alcoholic, I didn't hate the guy but certainly didn't like his manipulative nature,...

The Loco Locomotive
There had been a couple of times in Anjali's life that she had felt totally lonely and desperate to meet people, but this had been before I had met her, "damn, how I wished I had met her earlier," before, when she was seeing this man, totally and fully immersed in his love, "and the damn fool didn't care," it had to happen and it transpired, she rocked into depression when he left her. I spoke...
The Playstation Bunny
Anjali still had guests at her house today, it was crowded when I knocked on the door, "damn you just ring the bell," my mind told me and yet the hand went to the door knocker, it was a largish flat and the two kids and their nanny were having breakfast, Anjali was busy cooking, "some morning this was," I figured I might as well have some breakfast too. So I sat down with the kids, one of them...

The Intrepid Traveller
I came back home last night at about 11 pm, I had been roaming the city for four hours from pubs to cafes, the last cafe I hit around 10:30pm, it was crowded, "that's unusual for a Sunday," people normally get ready for their Monday morning routines starting Sunday evening. I parked my sedan and immediately saw a group of youngsters crowding outside it, there were loud sounds of "no" almost...

The Chesire Cat
Last night was a full house at Anjali's house, her sister's kids stayed back, "damn her !" and I had to miss my customary walk with Anjali and that made me disoriented, "like a tubby without milk," but then that's what families are for, to help each other out and solve problems for one another. Anjali was happy, "and my anger not withstanding," that made me happy. Romeo was like a lost...

The Dream
It was another rainy morning, and Anjali was beginning to feel cold and unwell in this weather, she almost never liked this weather, "my point being who did," the rains brought with them this ominous feeling of dampness and I was almost certain that she was going to be down with fever for a day or two. She sniffled her way to a breakfast that I had cooked for her, sneezing and coughing, I had...

The Bond Of Love
The Night Life in the city wasn't mind boggling, yet it exists, "like I exist too!," the days were getting much shorter which was nice, I preferred the night to the day, "I might have been the night cuckoo." Anjali was very much a day person, getting up in the morning, her daily routine all set, "sometimes it was baffling," I had read in some scriptures that, "getting up in the morning allowed...

The Mystery Friend
Anjali went on holiday during the March of 2013 and while I waited for return, I met a very interesting personality, "as interesting as they get," on one of my trips to the mall. As I walked out of the M&S store, I momentarily stopped, "forgetful that I am," thinking I had forgotten a shopping bag in the store, when I heard a whistle, "no it wasn't the runaway Mumbai Express," it was Lucy,...

Winds Of Change
The winds of change were blowing, it was obvious to anyone that my life had changed tremendously since the last three months, the sorrow and despair was past and there was a new hope around me, I could sense that a big change was around, it was only a matter of time before it all combined. I had been roaming last night in downtown Delhi, when suddenly it came to me, it was party time here,...
