The Grand Indian Wedding was on the cards, the guest list had been lined up weeks ago, "the elephants were ready and the trumpeters ready to rolls," Anjali wanted to come to the wedding with me, but there were other commitments she had for the coming Sunday, she was going to be travelling for work. I so wanted her to come with me and see a real Punjabi wedding, we both knew that my folks, "damn...

Breakfast "like" Tiffany's
Anand was a man of his words, and he decided to meet me this Monday, though it wasn't fair on his time but on Anjali's insistence and to be fair to his own curiosity about me, we decided to meet at MacDonald's in the hallowed grounds of Connaught Place,"think Times Square," in Delhi. I was no stranger to this place having gone with friends and folks many times over, however to Anand it must...

The Prisoners Dilemma
Another eventful day, in a day when it seemed like the stories would never end, "damn, how I wish they would never end," however on some days there is philosiphical significance at the end and I reached it today, "like philosophy has anything to do with my life. I had been speaking to Anjali about Anand for the full day,"and wishing it never ends," Anand had been a very large influence on her...
Friday Night Live
I got up to a phenomenal day, the sun was bright and there was a cool breeze, just the right temperature, blowing across the northern heartland. Last night there had been a party, a regular Friday night jaunt, at Anjali's, friends had been invited from across the city, she had many friends and it made me real happy to see her relating to her friends again, talking and chatting, holding...

The Unknown Quantity
There was something going on in life now, Anjali was out of her pensive mood, Romeo was as usual hungry and this new man in Anjali's life was confused as hell. The confusion was about trying to find out why he was being treated the way he was despite him being so nice to her, "we always assume that we will get what we give," it isn't strange to assume that, but a lot of hard work in relationships...

Sound of Silence
Anjali had been unusually pensive and irritated this morning, she wasn't talking and was in general very uncommunicative, I had been in her house for five minutes and already her mood swings were beginning to make me dizzy, "no breakfast for me today," she snapped as I entered the kitchen, "and I wasn't even thinking of breakfast," just getting myself a glass of water, I was thirsty after the walk...

Marriages Are Made In Heaven
My cousins wedding was fixed and he was rocking, "or plain in heaven," and I for one consoled him it isn't the end of the world, it wasn't that I wasn't feeling great about him getting married but the signs around me were telling something else, "for instance the age old saying that marriages are made in heaven," now if they were made in heaven then why did they end up in hell, and as a matter of...
The Second Hand Tale
I was ready to sell my old car and Anjali wanted it, I had been thinking the human race is enamoured by cars, we travel distances in our vehicle of choice and build our dreams around them, its like, a race is on, "and it is a rat race if you want it so," therefore we build bigger and bigger cars, "as big as the houses we stay in," cars that run the span of the highway competing with other bigger...

Free Your Mind
Thoughts of Dating and Relationships were playing on my mind for a few days, "which was damn unusually," normally it was only food that was factored in, I presume it was my last meeting with Anjali that had caused this to occur, "cause and affect like Newton would say," she had been sad and yet there had been a tinge of happiness that had given me hope. Interestingly there were a myriad of...

The Self Believing Organism
As Anjali and I drove off for a cup of coffee, I was thinking, "as I oft do nowadays," had I managed to mitigate the pain of the loss that showered on her when this guy had left her and the loss had left her shattered. But this had been a couple of years back and her countenance was much better now and she felt totally at ease with herself again, I could sense the relief writ large on her face,...
