The year that was..

So today marks the first anniversary of my transfer to Hassan.. For some reason I felt like celebrating this "milestone" and that's why I distributed sweets in office.. But anyway, instead of being congratulated on completing this milestone my colleagues were bugging me and questioning me about the "real" reason for distributing sweets in office..  Well, professionally the year was fabulous! But last year at this time I wasn't exactly in a positive frame of mind.. Like when I got my transfer order posting me to Hassan, I was shocked.. And for a moment I just went blank and didn't really know what I would do..  At that point of time, keeping in mind several factors (professional and personal), my husband and I decided that it would be best if I reported at Hassan.. We also decided that only I would relocate and my daughter would stay back with my husband.. So this resulted in my husband being a single parent and me being what my colleagues at work refer t

Dil Bechara - A film review

" Dead people receive more flowers than the living ones because regret is stronger than gratitude " This quote sums up the reviews/reactions people are sharing regarding the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput's final appearance on the silver screen. I'm surprised to see an IMDb rating of 9.8/10! I don't think any of his films rated beyond 7.5 or 8 when he was alive.. Well, that's hypocrisy for you..

So Mr Bachchan and his family not only have access to the best medical facilities, they also have special mention in the prayers of millions of people across the country! So yeah, like I said - that's hypocrisy.. Of course I'm also in

Covid-19 and I

So for people that know me closely also know that I'm sentimental.. But my friends will just tell you that I'm "mental".. Anyway, I've always wished that the people who're close to me tell me how they actually feel about me, how much they miss me, how much they care for me, how much I mean to them.. You know I wish these so called 'close' people say mushy things to me.. But no! What I get instead is endless banter, merciless teasing and sarcasm.. Like recently this friend was telling me about how I attract all unwanted people in my life, when actually I feel that this particular friend is just jealous of my popularity.. lol!!  So in a recent group chat while sharing a forward about Covid-19, a friend said that Covid is behaving like me.. In an otherwise endless list of mean comments directed at me I didn't take this one to heart.. It was more of a compliment since I'm being compared to the most (un)popular topics at the moment and hence I was
