Family gatherings are joyous occasions without exception…… From the aunt who exclaims “arrey!!..kitna bada ho gaya mera raja beta” everytime she see’s you ( growing up is normal…ain’t it??…where’s the surprise??) to your young cousins who are almost always in awe of ‘ bhaiyya/didi’ ( I tell you;that feeling of having an elder cousin is one warm feeling to cherish) and of course,delicious food & gossip sessions lasting till late in the night,they all lend it a feel which makes you go nostalgic everytime you think of those times... Imagine being made to study in such times… torturous ,if I were to say in a word… Back home for a quick vacation this summer,I was at my maternal aunt’s place….my parents were there,as were my other maternal aunts & uncles along with my cousins……perfect settings for fun & frolic…. My 7 year old cousin Dimpy wasn’t too happy though…..with a test to give the next day,she had been made to sit with her books….. my dad :"arrey dimpy bete...

time trouble anyone??

I had been sleeping......back to pune from pondicherry,we had been waiting for MT(military transport)@the railway station.....tired after a long journey,I had dozed off.... Some commotion woke me from slumber....I glanced @the digital clock overhead....24:13....dismissing it as a figment of my imagination,I was trying to doze back again when Panda who had been sleeping beside me said in his usual sleepy voice " आबे....टाइम देख"..... and I knew it wasn't a dream..... MAMATA DI ZINDABAD......
