What to expect during the monsoons


  • Getting completely drenched even with your best rain gear on
  • Men who wear their lungis like a mini skirt (though they will have a major issue if women wore similar skirts)
  • Puddles that make your car jump sky-high
  • Getting poked in the eye by someone’s umbrella
  • Impossible-to-see-through car windows despite being glass
  • Streams and pond where there were none before
  • Suffocating hot buses on account of all the shutters down
  • Dangerously high levels of body odor in above mentioned situation (make sure to have a gag bag)
  • Slipping & falling at least once especially in a muddy area
  • Finding your foot caked in mud after u step into an innocent puddle
  • Reaching home and finding everything in your bag soaked
  • Someone will definitely share his/her fully-wet condition with you, physically
  • Spend entire days feeling unconnected because you have no electricity
  • Find your way blocked by all kinds of fallen plants  and sometimes cars too
  • Invisible mosquitoes EVERYWHERE

Unconditional Love

I never understood what unconditional love was Until she appeared in my life. I never thought she would love me, the black sheep But she was constantly with me. When my heart broke and I lay crying in bed She alone understood and sat silently by my side. When she realized I would be going to work in the mornings Her eyes alone showed how she hated being separated. When I returned by evening Her joy knew no bounds. When I returned from a week-long conference trip to Nepal I had to get her injected: she was sick from her sorrow of separation. And finally when a horrible tenant made a threat on your life Forcing us to keep you safe, away from us I felt your pain… I hated it & missed you terribly too. Yet even then, when I came to speak to you today You were more interested in me then my gift for you. I doubt I have a truer love than you My dearest canine being Achu Because you taught me the meaning of unconditional love.

Black, Black Sheep

  If only I were as smart as big bro or could cook like you, mom,  If only I could sing & dance like lil' bro or do all the chores like him,  If only I were a boy carrying on the family name or had birthed a grandkid for you, Then, maybe then would you consider me a beloved daughter? Am I really that terrible? You boast to visitors about my brothers but have nothing to say about me? Doesn't love & sincerity count? Or does only money & status matter? Was this how Jesus too felt at home? Alone? An outcaste? It isn't glory I seek, never, ever Just your understanding and acceptance. But I guess I'm too black a sheep ...
