Every moment is really precious, isn’t it? Now I know.
What happens when you see that a person you really admire behaves abnormally?What happens when you realize that “All that you want is, the person you really like should be alright”?What happens when you begin to understand that you are ready to do anything for that person if it helps? That’s what I felt in…

चूक
“चुकून चूक झाली कधी तर चूक म्हणुन सोडून देशील,चुकीच्या गोष्टी चुकुनच घडतात, मला माहिती आहे तू समजुन घेशील.चुकीच्या चुका करायला कुणालाही आवडत नाही.पण काय करू चुका केल्या शिवाय माझा एक दिवसही जात नाही! चुकत–चुकत चालवत राहतो आपली ही होडी सगळे आपण,म्हणुन बहुतेक आठवतात आपल्याला नेहमी हेच ते चुकीतले क्षण.कितीही टाळलं तरी घडतेच हातून एखादी तरी…

Am I living in a Credit Co-operative Society? :-P
Lots of cool new things are happening around. But something keeps me pricking: Why are people less interested in actually doing things and more inclined towards just getting the credit? Nobody wants to share the work. But everyone wants to share the credit. I just can’t understand. Why do all carry such attitude? What’s more…

The ones who turn dreams into reality!
I have started liking fiction more than ever. Whenever I go to a book-store or library, I look for the non-fiction section. I find it more interesting to know about the real-life stories of real-life people. I have read quite a few autobiographies. And to my surprise, I have always found a common-link in most…

They Say. I say.
They say, “That’s un-cool!“.I say, “That’s so cool!“.
