Started traveling by 1st class since last week and had this mixed feeling inside me . Traveling on Day 1 it was tough to stop myself from sharing my experience through my blog. While traveling started scribbling on my BB and shared it with a friend of mine "TheAngrySaint" who then gave it some finishing touch and here it goes :  Credits : @theangrysaint The amazing thing about Mumbai city is its pace. Time literally flies and the citizens are found running around, trying to catch up! Commuting to Vikhroli & back had toughened me a lot in the past 7 Months, but the mind finally made me succumb to the lure of life on the other side of the II Class Section of the Ladies Compartment. I finally decided to leave get over my skepticism and overlook the huge hole in my wallet caused by the 400% price difference in fares. It may be the same train and at times, even the same compartment, but life in the I Class section for the Ladies is in marked difference.  ...

After a long time, I got some food for thought post a conversation with an age-old uncle who wailed like his fellow allies against the cacophony during Ganpati visarjan to rising inflation, corruption, current generation, importance of money over relations etc. To some extent I couldn’t agree more to his crux of the conversation. So pen down my thoughts here. “Arey chalo aage! Utro utro!” (Move ahead, get down get down) are some famous words we hear every day in our lives or rather live with them. Every single day in Mumbai is a struggle and is moving at a super fast pace. Routine life for a working employee is; wake up in the morning, complete morning chores, leave for work (or to put in  a better way - run for work) reach work, strive hard, rush back home, have dinner and sleep for another day repeating the entire routine. Most of you readers would agree with this and few defy it. But still this is the life of a Mumbaikar amongst majority. Everything is ha...

It's just not a railway station, It's more of a mission impossible. Everyone is struggling hard to reach to their destination, Shoving their way through the battlefield. Everyday is like a war, fighting hard through hundred of thousand people, Just to make a way out safe and wish to happily travel. Pushing, hitting, scratching, pinching, screaming, screeching, cribbing, Everyone is a part of this everyday game unwillingly. Everyday is a surprise with different people u come across in your journey, Everyday u face different situations, few are scary while few are funny. Time flies away just so fast, running everyday like this. Do you even realize how much of it have u lived completely just for your own Self?

It’s been quite some time I could actually sit down and pen down my thoughts. Or rather must say, did not find something to write about. But just thought there is so much happening around us every day, every moment with each one of us. And here I go with the same thought. We come across so many people in life, while traveling, at work, at various occasions and various associations other than work in our daily life. Few come in our life just for say a minute or 10 minutes either while traveling or you bump into the person at a place just where you are. Then there are few who come in your life to make a difference and you feel like staying with that person for some more long time and the communication begins and stays for as long as you both decide to keep it on. Few get attached to each other and few detached due to various consequences. But at the end every person we meet leaves an imprint on your mind; a very good, a good and a bad one. It depends on each one of us wh...

Commitment!!! The most dreaded word of all....Be it for any purpose, be it relationship, work, studies, pay your dues, etc...What exactly does it mean to commit? Does it mean to make a promise? Does it mean you are obliged to someone or something? Or is it that you are responsible for your commitment you make? What exactly does it mean? Yes, all the above mean the same, but then why is it such a scaring fact to commit? When you take a loan from a bank, a friend or any money lender you commit to pay back the amount in a stipulated time period upon a pre-decided agreement and you struggle and try your best to pay back. When you are studying you commit to achieve a particular grade at a particular stage and you struggle for it. When you are at work you are paid for a particular job, and you are committed or atleast expected to be committed to your work and so you try to prove yourself and achieve your set targets. When you have a family you are committed to every particular individual in ...

Time to Change Girl, female, woman, lady, wife, mother – so many roles the fairer section has been playing in this world since the origin of human being or rather origin of this universe. In all these roles, it’s always been a painful and a difficult phase for the female section. An infant baby grows up to a girl and is considered to be like a piece of feather or a glass to be taken care or handled with care. A girl grows up and soon becomes a wife and a mother to bear the pain for the birth of another child and all the various feminine problems till her last breath. Though...

Just a few days back there was a nice thought thought shared by a friend with me : An old Hindu legend says there was a time when men were gods. But they abused their divine powers so much that Brahma, the master of all gods, decided to take these powers away and hide them in a place where they would be impossible to find. All that remained was to find a suitable hiding place. A number of lesser gods were appointed to a council to deal with the issue. They suggested this: “Why not bury man's powers in the earth?” To which Brahma replied, “ No, that will not do because man would dig deep and find it.” So the gods said, “In that case, we will send their divinity to the deepest depths of the ocean.” But Brahma replied again, “Sooner or later man will explore the depths of the ocean and it is certain he will find it and bring it to the surface.” So the lesser gods concluded, “Neither land nor sea is a place where man's divine powers will be safe, so we do not know where...
