An open letter to my sister on her graduation

Dear Tiny,

I seriously don’t know how should I start writing this letter to you. Should I start off by an inspiring quote, should I be cheesy? Should I start off by,”When I was your age?” I can’t really find the perfect words to make you believe how much this means to me. You are not only a graduate but the best one to graduate in that academic year (itne awards joh milley hain tumko) There are a few things that I have already told you and there are quite a few that I want to tell you… Here goes my first blog post,only and only dedicated to you in the form of my first listicle post. 






1. I am very very proud of you 
      
I saw you struggle, pull all nighters, work on perfection every minute. You made friends, you made enemies, you met people who turned out to be family (Me! Me! and Ballu :P) you got the best professors who were more like friends and your guide, most importantly you found yourself. You didn’t let any rough storm stop you, you kept adjusting your sails. Thank you for being a strong inspiration for me! 





2. Don’t let the world pull you down. 

You have talent. You are worthy and you have everything sorted. The real world seems very scary but I promise you that the world will listen to you when you are determined. Your people have faith in you and they always have your back. You know yourself more than anyone so let people criticise who they think you are. This path is yours and you will be walking alone, but I promise when you stop and look back,’Your people’ will be right behind you. 









3. Do what you think is right for you and your dear ones. 

You an over thinker ( I know you are!) You are very cautious and dicey when it comes to making decisions. The major problem is because you are afraid of failures. Your biggest weakness is failure. Don't let that stop you from taking risks, don’t let that make you step back. You never know how close you are in achieving success till you keep trying. You will fall, but you need to get up and fight again (my tiny scorpion!!). 






4. I am your biggest fan!

Since day one I have told you brilliant things about you but you are never convinced. I have been a number one fan of yours by which you manage to balance your professional and personal life. The way you work towards perfection, the way you are always dissatisfied, the way you never settle for anything but the best. Stay this way! These strong principles and ethics will get you where you want to go!






5. I love you!
I say this often and I know you know this. This is one thing that will never change. I will always love you and be there with you. Humesha and Forever!






P.S : I had to keep this theme for the love you have for frozen :* 


With Love- 

Manu

A Sign

 A long time before I could leave for the airport, the sky had turned pitch black. “Great! The flight will be so upsettingly bumpy. I sarcastically thought to myself. To make sure I had easy access to the anxiety medications, I unzipped my handbag and double-checked the emergency medical pouch. I was returning to Mumbai, the city I considered to be my home. But I had grown accustomed to Bangalore after a lengthy 5 years. I had to because I spent the majority of my formative years here. I walked around the house, the house that was home to so many memories. Study dates, pulling all-nighters with friends who were now family, my weakest to my strongest moments, games night, watching India beat Pakistan and Pakistan beat India at cricket, this house, had seen it all. This was nice, it was the best time and now it was time to make it better. Beginning a new chapter of my life, as a doctor.  The rain pounded against the roof of my cab, and the dashboard displayed the time, it...

The seven sins

1.  LUST “My client has always filed sexual harassment complaints at her workplace against Mr. Lee. The HR gave several warnings too. Here is a copy of the complaints. My client here always tried to avoid conversations with Mr. Lee and it was not too difficult because they worked in different departments. But my client had to file a complaint when Mr. Lee groped her in the lift, the surveillance tape is also a piece of key evidence.” “I looked at her every day. I raped her with my eyes, I used to imagine what is behind her clothes. The more the clothes, the better I felt. She used to catch me staring at her sometimes, but my eyes would always find a way back on to her body. There was not an inch that I had left in my fantasy. But physically, I was not the one who raped her.” Mr. Lee confessed to being lustful but never confessed to the crime.   2. ENVY “She is getting married for real? Kiara who was the most commitment-phobic is getting married?” Samantha was furio...

Shedding some light and weight

I have gotten comfortable in my own skin.  Is it good or bad? I will never know.  I have bruises and scars that will always show.  But to me, they are stories which a few will know.  I have gotten comfortable in my own skin Well, that’s too much of skin looking at my double chin.  Do I want to shed this or should I keep it?  Oh, wait! I will shed who would want to keep the extra weight. I am a tad bit more confident than I used to be, Wasn’t this someone I always wanted to be?  There are layers of skin, which I want to keep,  Well, at least that is a step which is steep. I have gotten too comfortable in my own skin, Is it good or bad? I ask while holding a glass of gin.  My choices, my experiences, the lessons I learn, Will they be the same as warned by my elders? Because I have an intense feeling of longing for something, Damn! I just defined yearn!  I am comfortable in my own skin. Call me overwei...
