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...

Escaped a bad marriage (Part Two)

''When my father found out I wanted to divorce my husband he was really upset. He suggested I would travel to India so we could talk things through. I wasn’t planning on changing my mind but in order to get my divorce settled I would have to go to India. My manager at Nike gave me two weeks off and I flew back home. When I arrived, my family was mostly emotional and angry with me for making the decision to get a divorce. Later that week we traveled to the other side of the country to my husband’s house to discuss the situation. I remember sitting in a circle in his living room and everyone was looking at me. For hours my family and his family were trying to convince me to not go through with the divorce. This went on for hours and hours and at some point I was so exhausted I had to go to sleep. That night I slept in his house. Just being there reminded me of all those terrible months. I woke up the next day and I noticed that my bag with my passport, phone and credit cards w...

Escaped a bad marriage (Part One)

''My parents kept talking about finding a suitable husband for me but I kept refusing. I have always been a very ambitious student and after I graduated l wanted to focus on my career as an engineer. My parents kept pushing me and slowly the atmosphere at home was changing and my father barely spoke to me anymore. The tension became unbearable and at some point I couldn’t take it anymore so I gave in. I ended up marrying a man that I barely knew and didn’t love. Honestly I can’t remember my wedding day. Whenever I look at photo’s I don’t recognize myself. After the wedding we went on our honeymoon. From the start we had no connection and it was very obvious that we both weren’t in love. I kept telling myself that everything would be okay and that it all would work out. When we got back I moved in with his family on the other side of India. My in-laws were very controlling and I was forced to give my salary to them. They demanded I would contact my father and ask him for a do...

To celebrate the curse ?

This is going to be just a direct question and try to be honest with yourself. How would you react if because of someone else you didn't top the exam or didn't come first in some event? It was someone else's fault. Everybody knew it but still no one could help it. Will you celebrate your second position or will you grumble/curse that person? Curse at your luck? Curse God? I think many others along with me would just sit and feel dejected about the event. Maybe self pity. But there was this person who showed rather than feeling dejected, you can celebrate, you can feel happy about what you have. It could have been worse. Here goes his story .. Vanderlei De Lima of Brazil was leading the men's marathon at the Athens Olympic games in 2004 when he was abruptly bumped off the course by a spectator. De Lima not only lost precious seconds during the incident. He also lost his rhythm and had to recover mentally. He would eventually be overtaken by two runners who would ...
