Spoiler alert! This post is not going to be as morose as the title sounds (Hopefully!).. So.. Going out for lunch alone or rather eating alone is frowned upon.. People give you this weird look when they find you having lunch alone.. Well I love people's company at lunch as much as I love dining alone.. And to all you people who seem 'very concerned' about my being 'lonely' at lunch, please feel free to join my table.. Don't stare at me from a distance and look at me like I stole your kidney! Anyway for those who think having lunch alone is not fun, guess what's even less fun.. Let me tell you.. It's being within hearing distance of a couple having lunch together and listening to their nonsensical conversation but not being able give them your sarcastic responses.. So recently I felt like having a 'Happy meal'.. And so I went to this outlet near my work place.. For a change the place was not as crowded as it usually is and I was able to get...

So today (Mother's Day) was the day when social media timelines turned into battlefields for the competition 'Kiski Maa sabse mahan'.. I saw innumerable posts both on WhatsApp and FB with people professing their love for their respective mothers.. (Yawn!) Firstly, we all know you love your mothers.. As do I..

Secondly, if you're not going to follow the ideals your mother raised you with then your sharing Mother's day posts has no relevance at all.. Well, it goes without saying that my mom is my best friend.. There is no one who is as appreciative or as supportive as she is of me and my abilities.. And while I don't remember having grown up with any profession of love (saying...

Move over Chetan Bhagat.. Make way for the new and exciting writer also known as the 'Sidney Sheldon of India' - Novoneel Chakraborty.. Well, I've read almost all his books and recommended him to all and sundry.. His books are amazing although comparing him to Sidney Sheldon would be unfair to both him and Sidney Sheldon.. Nevertheless his books are an absolute delight to read and hard to put down once you've started reading them.. His latest book 'Half torn hearts' is a story of 3 people and their relationship.. How their paths cross, how they influence each others lives and I can't say more without giving away the plot.. So let's just say it's a story about these people's lives and about love and friendship.. Mind you it's not your regular love triangle that is the essence of almost all bollywood movies today.. This novel has more twists and turns than an Abbas Mastaan thriller and keeps you guessing till you've read the last page.. ...
