Office Office



It sometime feels good to be wedded. But most of the times, I badly miss my days I’d spend @ ma office. Couldn’t enjoy that much @ School and College was full of dumb people everywhere. Got to know what real fun is…when I joined the office. The inner prankster of mine came out with naughty and tricky pranks this time. But only for a while.

- Work stands first of course… After that, me used to chat with my husband, for a change, me n ma colleague plunked our lunch boxes in the sideboard/drawer and when out for partying at SukhSagar or ManjuMamta.
- When we come, we dreadfully needed that A.C on in our cabin. We were just two. But the office looked empty without us says our boss…And yeah!! We two were equal to several funniest pranksters.
- We enjoyed summers by having packet full of ‘kakdis’ every now and then. We squabbled with the canteen staff for serving us cold and foul-tasting ginger tea. (Well that tea some times had no ginger in it to be called as Ginger tea properly)… And many times we went out for a walk near by to refresh our selves.
- On Sundays, we wouldn’t miss that Thela Chai…standing up on the small broken wall and ordering 2 cups of tea from the thela wala standing opp to the wall. Though we couldn’t see him from this side, but could easily guess for how many times he’d boil the same tea and serve it to his customers…Still, we loved to have that.

- Sleeping on our desks, oh! What a relief from stress and head ache…We’d giggle and laugh at our own jokes, create funny emails on our other colleagues, listening loud music when our boss was out, and offering toffee to our boss if he’d come and shriek at us…

- Oh!!! Heartiest thanks to that person who first invented MAGGI. We’d plan and bring maggi and would have that with morning tea at office… :D Nothing remained for us to eat at the lunch hours.

- Till now, the funniest prank I hv ever made is…asking address of ma own office to some thela wala or a vegetable seller on the way… Gosssssshhh….It was such a fun. Guess what? We’d go to our boss and say, boss, no body knows where our office is…I surveyed today. I asked few thela walas and sabji walas and road romeos.

I came to know now…that life really **cks every one at the end. Problems were there in ma life when I was a journo. But after marriage, got problems with responsibilities. And the cruel god now tests me n my endurance. Anyway…I still thank god the almighty for standing besides me every time. (But not helping me now). He had gifted me good frnz, a nice family n affectionate in-laws to live with. And of course you’re there…I know…

Being a woman - A Woman of Substance...

Every woman carries her responsibility differently. Please don’t compare . A woman wakes up early and gets ready. She prepares her kids for school. She makes breakfast for the entire family. Serves breakfast. She prepares lunch and dinner. She makes her kids do homework. She manages household chores like dusting, watering plants, washing clothes and ironing them. Makes sure, her house is clean all the time. A woman, a housewife has a lot of things to do. No need to count them. No one can count them either. On the contrary, there is another woman, who is not a homemaker, but a working mum. She wakes up. Makes food for everyone. She sends her kids to school. Leaves for work leaving some household chores, which she does anyway after coming back. Now here, don’t you feel she needs some rest? Don’t you feel she needs some help? Domestic help? Why calling her husband or someone from the family for help is considered to be deplorable? I agree with the fact that eve

Cheers to 8 amazing years of togetherness.

I had no idea what marriage entails. Marriage, like everything else in life, cannot be taught or understood before it is lived. It needs to be felt. Sometimes it feels joyous, sometimes it hurts. There are married couples who claim they are still madly in love. For them, marriage doesn’t require major adjustments or sacrifices. They naturally know how to keep each other happy, how to live a perfectly balanced and harmonious life. But for us, we struggled with such concept of a perfectly harmonious marriage because ours’ was far different from it. I even thought something was dreadfully wrong with our marriage by comparing our relationship to other people’s. I thought we were an anomaly. We used to swim through turbulent waters ineptly. We even survived a few tsunamis together. Despite such accidents, we swam gawkily and rose above the surface.  It’s certainly not the prettiest picture of marriage but perhaps the most realistic, the one that helps marriages last a lifetim

On being called the #f-word

A woman usually has to face what almost all brown and healthy women go through - being reproved for the colour of the skin or the size she is …and being told that she is too tall, too short, too fat or too dark. The #TOO part of every word is bizarre, I feel. Here in this post, I am sharing few experiences of my friends who went through or are still going through such illogical ideologies of our so called society… My friend’s aunt would keep asking her mum to do ‘ubtan’ - a home remedy with home ingredients including chickpea flour, curd etc. to ‘lighten’ my friend's skin tone. A lot of face packs, several parlor sittings, face washes etc and comments were a part and parcel of her growing up years.   WHY? I don’t get the point that why a girl always has to be white or wheaty? Isn’t she beautiful when dusky or dark? Isn’t she a golden hearted? Another friend of mine was asked to eat sprouts for her breakfast, 2 rotis and 1 bowl dal for lunch and salad f
