Thinking Of My Favourite Teacher
The moment I think 'teacher', several faces start rolling in front of my eyes. I believe our first schoolteacher is the first outsider who tries to teach something to us as a child; the first person outside the family who influences us and affects our lives.I don't remember the teachers from the first school I …
Check on me
Most of us miss our mothers when we fall sick, don't we. In my case, I miss all of my family members of my maternal home. I have been feverish since last night. I slept throughout the day today. Here I have to take care of myself, unless my husband is at home.I currently stay …

Guardian of Sentiments
I have often been ridiculed and criticized for insisting on careful usage of things and stuff. I get visibly upset when coffee mugs I hand-picked get broken or chipped, when people borrow my stuff and damage or lose them, when things are roughly used and the like. The following are snippets from different times of …
A Memory of Pain & Care
As a growing kid, I used to suffer from regular leg pain. And often one of knees would get locked. In such situations, the one person I would call for was Deta (my father).I remember playing and running around on the front lawns and suddenly my knee would get locked. I would only shout for …
My Special Girls
Most of us don't need a psychiatric therapist as much as a friend to be silly with. ~Robert BraultI am basically a loner. It is somewhat difficult for me to be with people for just the heck of it. When I am not working or sleeping, I spend my time reading, writing, watching a movie …
