Till Death Do Us Part…….
Google Image It was the end of the road. I finally said the words I had thought a million times but never spoken. But he had left me with no option. I was hoping he’d come around but sometimes you need to walk the plank…….A flashback moment to the day it all began. I had…

My Daddy strongest………..
Today is my dad’s 72nd birthday and I don’t really have a gift in place. What do I give him? He already has all that he needs. So I picked a bouquet to bring in the happy occasion. Most girls idolize their dads, I was no different. I tried to be like him, but really could…

Our Lady of the Mount
As children, every September, my sister and I were always taken to the Mount. “It is not Bandra Fair that is important”, we were chided, even as we couldn’t contain our excitement.

Figuring if his drink…

A riot of memories between mouthfuls of delicacies, a satiated stomach bettered by a nourished soul, that’s what!

The Bald and the Beautiful.
Working in an advertising agency has its perks. Especially, when as a client servicing executive, you are reduced to a telephone operator, creative visualizer and copywriter. All this, because one employee has gone to attend a wedding, the other has fallen sick and the last one has simply quit. The same week, two relatives of…
