The Mirror….

What do you mean by a “mirror” ? … there may be several definitions in the world that define a portrait. But I have a different meaning to give.. its not great but some people might find a new meaning to their lives after knowing this. May look at people differently once they think about it  deeply.
For me, mirror is that element in your life which / who reflects, the things that you do. Are these actions of yours right or wrong.  Helps you generate ideas for life. Helps you realize the best parts in you.. Sometimes also highlights the defects in you. Sometimes show you, the real person in you but sometimes hides the real person, only to motivate you to keep on going in life.
It does all things for you, but you never bother about the mirror… becoz you feel that after all its just a reflection of yours.. You feel that, If you are better off.. the mirror would be fine. The mirror never complains.. nor does it stop doing its work.. albeit it tries to be better each time..But you don’t see, nor do you appreciate.. you only take it for granted. You don’t realize one more thing.. though the mirror tries to make you better off, improves you… it never changes for you..it remains the same.. as you liked it the first time. But you become so much better with the aid of the mirror that you consider it to be not matching your standards and feel it is outdated. The mirror never moves, never changes, as it knows that you like it the way it is…. But it is you who sometimes have problems with the way the mirror is…But the mirror has never changed. The mirror may deserve a better companion, but it is loyal to you, is concerned about your growth.. that it forgets its own betterment.
You the reader, must be thinking that why am I talking so much about the mirror. Becoz in our lives, there is someone special, who acts the same way as the mirror but we never realize it. Sadly by the time we realize it, the mirror would have already cracked..
I have a mirror in my life… from whom I am inspired to write this… but sadly I am not able to express that I realize the importance of her presence in my life.

The Pandemic Effect - Pilot

It is a late spring afternoon in Auckland, New Zealand and Akash is busy working with his colleagues planning a client event for next week. He gets a call from a familiar phone number but with no name to display. Akash has a faint idea of who it is from, so he gets up hastily and walks out of the office, away from others. The call is from a hiring manager of a big hotel chain, advising that they would like to offer him the position. Akash is ecstatic about the news and controlling his excitement, the first person he calls is Veena, his wife. The hotel chain has asked him to take charge of the role from the first week of December 2019. Akash and Veena are ready to celebrate this news with their 3 year old son, Rudra. Finally, after 9 years of hard-work, Akash has reached the pinnacle of his career in New Zealand. Few miles away at Auckland Airport, Rizwan is walking out of the Immigration check-point and has dialled a number to speak to the love of his life in Lahore, Pakistan - Ali....

Orange City – Revelation.

Yes! I am back to my original self. I have again started talking to myself. This is my third trip to Nagpur (the orange city). This time my mother has asked me to get Nagpur’s famous Orange Barfi (sweetmeat)and like always I was too busy with my work and after work I wanted sometime to relax back in my hotel room. The hotel I usually stay is Dwarka at Sitabuldi, Nagpur. Looks absolutely shady! But what to do, I am here only for a day. (Thankfully not night). But I remember, Last month  I had to spend a night at Nagpur, coz. I didn’t have train reservation for Raipur nor could find any buses to Raipur, thanks to the threat from Naxal’s, many buses from Nagpur to Raipur have been terminated. The night experience was not so bad, had a pleasant sleep but next day I had to travel from Nagpur to Jabalpur via Bus. They said it takes 4 hrs in a Volvo Bus service, but mind it, it took the entire day. At the end of the journey, I was dizzy enough to puke. But yeah that was last mont...

Waking Up to life

Today, when I woke up, the first thing that came to my mind was....BREAKFAST..What would have Mom made for breakfast, had a deep urge of having "poha" (Spicy rice flakes with onion and potato pieces). Completed my daily routine, at full luxury (as on weekdays, I have to do everything in a hurry..reason; new reporting time in office 8:00AM, since 25th November 2009 .my 24th Birthday - should have been a day of new beginning, I mean new time of beginning for me.. lol).  Climbing down the steps from my room, I heard my dad say,"Why waste so much money, this time of the year there is not much income." this was about the celebrating my birthday, I had postponed the celebration to today evening as my sister was in Goa on 25th Nov. My Mom saw me hearing that an quickly responded to me saying that, Dad's health is not great to go out for dinner, so lets just cook your favourite Biryani, Tandoori Chicken and some kebabs at home. I responded immediately that because o...
