Style Served HAUTE
“You think this would work”, she asked. “We can give it a try. Worse comes to worse, we’ll know if it doesn’t”, I replied. And so over a random conversation, the idea to merge Fashion with Personal Bloggers was born. Halleujah for Facebook and Whatsapp! The brainchild of the woman who mixes and matches her…

The Sounds of Silence
My Wandering Wednesday Series. Check the previous posts here. 11th September. It seems to be the day that turns the world around. 2001 saw four co-ordinated terrorist attacks on the WTC- USA. 2013, India, the world awaits the sentence for the four accused in the Nirbhaya Rape Case.

The Queen of Tarts
“Off with her head”, she screamed for the nth time. And, yet another innocent soul was unceremoniously discarded from the pack. Her offense? She liked white roses just the way they were.

Prisoner of Thoughts
It had been 3 months since that fateful day. We never broached the topic. It was almost like the stoic silence surrounding it would make it go away. Batool, my wife’s niece had gone back to India. We hadn’t heard from her since. The phone never rang, and the letters never came. I debated if…
