 My head aches and my nose feels blocked. I am sitting in the lecture hall as I write this. Groups of students have gathered as they plan to visit the its a grand annual fest organized by college in Delhi. They are excited as its the first ( at least in front of me ) trip with FRIENDS they have recently been. They are excited to visit Delhi (fine, now you know that my college is far from Delhi ! In terms of distance, yes it definitely is !) And then, it is definitely the time of their lives when they can try and count upon each other for fest and events, memories and bonding Sounds Exciting ! Does it ? I bet you would have wanted to be a part of that too.  But at this moment, as I write this, my head hurts with the buzz and the fuss around me. More than this, I do doubt while saying this, but is it normal for me not to be So Excited about this ? The fact that next week, we are starting with our exams, makes the students less willing to attend the lecture . The class seems...

  Almost Single           - by Advaita Kala A tangy-novel written by Adavita Kala, it is a story of a lady, 29 years old, unmarried and, wait  do you think she is so-work-focused that she didn't marry, busy following her ambition? Well, that's not the case. She hates her job. She hates her boss. She hates her bank-balance. Also, she isn't really proud of her appearance but the one thing that makes her unique is her confidence and acceptance of what's happening around her and her desperate-need of making things work her way. We all need that, right? The whole story tales her experiences, from being one-of-the-unmarried 29 year old, fighting with the social-frown ( not literally, though), in the same 'raft' as her friends to the one…….. Well, read it !. The story is written in a brutally-honest way which shows off the vulnerable and I-don't-know-stuff-and-that's-okay in addition to the heroic moments of the narrator and her acquaintance.   The ...

 Bombay rains, Bombay girls. It’s a novel written by Anirban Bose, is a story that entails the experiences Adi, a boy of 18 from Ranchi when he first come to Bombay, leaving his home to study medicine. First time out of home and free for the experiences that awaits, it’s the story radiating youth and courage. It’s a very relatable to medical students and gives precise insights of the medical college life. There is the pressure and hard-work and sacrifice that medicine takes and on the other hand, there is the will to explore life, gathering experiences and peoples. One side, you want to leave everything and go for the field that you have chosen, on other-side is the teenage-mind that encourages to explore a little bit, feel a little bit more.  I feel I was one of the lucky ones to read this on a rainy day !  There are other aspects mentions, like love, broken and found again! The best thing is, it doesn’t sound out of reality and is beautiful and simple, just like all of ...

My phone being the way it is, it got switched off in the middle of the road. The most confusing road  and me being the a very forgrtdull one , I gad no option that to leave things as they are and and drive back to college, by whatever path I remember and  trust where it's leading me. It was the high time in afternoon. It was hot and axitiogenic for me. But I had not other solution. I roamed and roamed in the maze and taking a few wrong turns and other right turns I at last reached and om Time.  I rushed back to mess to have my food as soon as possible. I had to call my mom to inform I am alright and aittimg in my college. I called. She answered casually. Wait,  did she even notice I had a phone switched off  since hours and I had to tackle the roads without maps ? "That's okay."I though and moved on.

  So, today was the first Sunday after the exams. It’s the official 2nd holiday for me after the ending of the exam s but you know, it definitely takes some time for the tensions to wear off your mind and let the peace set in. today was a such a day. Waking up at 10 minutes past nine, I was reminded of the fact that my mommy needs to be at a designated place at or around 10 and I was expected to accompany her. I was really lazy to be at that position now and after beating around the bush for a while, I gave in and we were all set to leave. Brushing of teeth, bathing and getting ready still took a while, at last, that was a Sunday ritual and deserved its own honour! Before getting on behind the wheels, I made sure I had mugged up the path that we have to follow, as it was the first time we would be going there and the traffic was expected to be a little more than usual. Also, not forgetting the fact that I was at a level little less than intermediate when it came to driving. Being...
