Is Voldemort able to access my dreams?

Image
I am back to school. Not quite literally, the place is completely new but the people, they are very much familiar. I ask couple of people the right way to canteen. I spot Neel, Preet, Kunal and Hardik and I start feeling great. The atmosphere is so warm and amazing with everyone laughing and I feel like I literally am back to school at the age of 21. Feels weird but so relaxed. Its lunch hour and we start opening tiffin-boxes like good old days. Someone bought idli, someone rice and so on. We all sit together on the great desk and start eating. As soon as I open my lunch box, its empty, as it used to be (There was a group in my class who used to eat everyone's tiffin and they got mine multiple times without me finding it out) and I laughed at the memory and I suddenly realize, she too must be here.... I start searching her, pushing through the crowd and checking every faces to find the face which I feared to face :P I cannot find her but my eyes rest at a beautiful girl. ...

The VIP culture in India

Image
About 20-25 years ago if a journalist wanted to interview a politician(MP) in India, he couldn't do it in Delhi as they had a super busy schedule and they had a full court along with them. All the party members, the bodyguards and hundreds of followers. So they used to meet them on their tours. The main objective of this was that these MPs had a habit of holding a court sessions(seminar) and speak in front of crowds and they would sometimes spill the beans in front of crowds. So they are very much habitual to being pampered, followed treated like royal family above everyone else. In such case what if they are told to remove the red light from their car? Told that even their special cars will be taken away and they have to travel like a common man as other people in India travel which is via trains, metros, buses? They will be flabbergasted at the audacity of such suggestion by a human. They are after all the "MP". Before continuing, I would just like to share a ...

A Nasty Tale: 1

Image
A teenager, Johnny Fontane in his father's SUV, arrives home after committing a hit-and-run on a pregnant woman. Before Johnny could muster courage to tell his parents about this accident, every local news channel covers this news which states that both the woman and child are dead and her husband swears vengeance. Vito and Caroline Fontane cannot bear to give up their son. Being rich they hire a high profile lawyer and form a plan to have their caretaker Jose take the blame for half a million dollars. The local prosecutor Gleeson Hedge sees through the plan because the investigation reports state that the mirrors were not adjusted for the caretaker. The prosecutor knows that the Fontanes are a very rich family and rather than informing the widower he goes to the defending lawyer. The Fontane's lawyer thinks it is prudent to include the lawyer in the scheme if they want to close the case fast. So the Fontanes lose another half million. Jose sees this and his greed increas...

A date went wrong ... so very wrong !!

Just one thing before I tell you ... don't pity me . So I hadn't dated anyone before. I met this guy online a few months ago. We decided to meet and all, he had his job so we met after 8:30 in the evening. I stay near sea, Dadar. So instead of going to the coffee shop he said he wanted to sit by the rocks. Me being naive, idiot didn't understand what he implied. I was crazy... I don't think he meant ill. He must have thought I knew what I was doing. Anyway ... 15 minutes after we sat, he started kissing me. By the time I realised what was happening, I was too scared to even move. He was little rough. Bit me when I didn't respond. Suddenly he started gropping me and I just froze in panic. 10 minutes later he realised, that I wasn't fine.  I couldn't respond. I still wonder why. I was very scared, kinda cold. Just kept pushing his hands away. Thankfully he stopped. I told him to drop me home. So he did. He had a Royal Enfield Bullet. We rode back h...

Roger Federer: The untold story :P

Image
Roger Federer the Swiss maestro, regarded by many as the greatest tennis player of all time. Having won 18 major grand slams and in all around 89 titles he has dominated the era along side his arch rival Rafel Nadal. This is what Wikipedia will tell you about Federer. However there is more to a great player than records. Its his journey and the people who make him great, the people who play a major role behind the scenes ... Federer started playing tennis at the age of 6. Peter Carter started coaching him when he was 9. For years he trained under him. Carter spotted the greatness in him before the world knew his name. He pushed his limits. Federer took this casually(in his words ... for me it was definitely more than casual :P ). He was good but not good enough. In an interview in 2001, the reporter asked him," What is your ambition? What do you think how far can you go in this game?" Federer replied," I hope to win at least one US Open." It seems ridiculous t...

Luckiest girl in the world

Image
When Ashley and Christopher found each other, it didn’t take long for them to realize that God had brought them together. They’ve been dating for two and a half years, and Ashley considers herself the “luckiest girl in the world.” She had no idea she’d soon have to be defending her love on a national stage! In addition to being the love of her life, Christopher is also Ashley’s best friend. The two share a similar sense of humor and enjoy joking around together. So, when Ashley caught the bouquet at her cousin’s wedding, the 2 saw it as an opportunity to have some fun. They decided to snap a photo where Ashley’s dad would be glaring at Christopher, while she and Christopher made goofy faces. The resulting photo was adorable! But then the photo went viral via Reddit. And the responses will shock and disgust you. The majority of the comments posted were incredibly mean. Most are too cruel and inappropriate to share, but here are just a few examples: “Is her boyfrie...

The ambush

It was 8:56 pm when i got down on Kandivali station. I started walking fast as I wanted to reach gym as fast as possible. My gym closes at 10pm and I couldn't afford to waste time. I hate when I miss gym. I rushed home, threw my bag, changed my clothes, drank some water and left on my Activa to gym. (Listening to my mom yelling behind that I ought to take some rest and eat something.) I wore my helmet and rode off. I checked my watch it was already 9:15pm (45 mins to go ... I could still do legs ).  I was just near my gym when it happened. A scooter came from opposite direction with no light, from wrong way and swished past me. It didn't touch luckily. I automatically braked and looked behind. There he was, a plump guy with big spectacles and no helmet on his head, the guy had the audacity to stare and give me a seething look when he was the one travelling in wrong direction. For a second I looked at him. He continued staring and giving me angry looks. I shouted " Yo...
