What is this About?

Good Question! 
This is me writing about all those typical everyday stuff that happen to all of us with an exaggerated touch of drama and sarcasm, so all of us can laugh about it and have a little fun and whatever you get the drift.
Now, an intense Googling session on the kind of content that should go in the About page, tells me that it should be "real, touching and deep." Normally I'd make a "that's what she said" joke about touch and depth, but this ain't normal... this is drama, so I'm gonna launch into a partially satirical and a mildly cringe story. 

When I was going through my write ups to put some up on to the blog, I wondered,

“I’m a nobody, why would people want to read about my life? What's the point of all this?”

(Yeah, I’m deep like that. Also Drama! Drama! Drama!) and then I realized a very important thing-

Everybody, no matter who they are or whatever they are doing, has an amazing life.

All of us do. And if for some reason, you don't think you have a good life, then you are not looking closely… or maybe you are looking too closely. And all of these amazing, awesome, awkward, weird and hilarious stories of life deserve to be told. And sitting there with my writings, I realized I had many such stories already written down with all those extra touches, ready to be read by everybody. So, here's some stuff I've written a long time ago and some stuff I'm writing now and some stuff I'll write someday.

My Adventures in the Pink City - #HypedHolidays - Part 1

Image
Every year, we as a family voluntarily agree to partake in a migration activity to an external environment so we can take our disagreements about our likes, dislikes, the individual lifestyle choices we’ve made and comment on the fellow member’s preferences on food, clothing, music, etc to a different location and have a little fun in between. But this arrangement of choosing to put ourselves in the outside world is a little weird and tough to explain to your boss when you apply for a leave or to your teacher in the leave letter and the friends don’t get it. So, we just call it ‘vacation’. And this said vacation is generally taken with a pair of favorite cousins and family who are equally excited about the ‘forgot to pack that dress’ and ‘didn’t charge the phone’ fights that are to ensue.  So, as we ran to get boarding for our fight, sorry flight, hauling enough luggage to fit all the supplies of a royal family, I’m sure the airport staff saw us as a contingent of the royal servants.

Every birthday story

Image
There is a pattern of rituals on everybody’s birthdays. Like every year, I have one friend who starts a countdown one week before my birthday and goes like, “Hey there are two days 4 hours, 50 minutes and 7 seconds to go for your birthday.” and then here I am like, “My birthday is on 19th and today is 18th, so, do I say there is 1 day to go or zero days to go? Fine never mind, I’ll stick with tomorrow is my birthday.” And then there is another friend who writes a letter or makes a scrap book full of disgusting pictures of me snorting or hysterically laughing or blocking the camera from my sorry ass face and gets me a pair of ear rings for every birthday. And then there are people in my family who make a video, every single year, that has my baby pictures.. Well, it is a family tradition, whoever celebrates their birthday gets this video with baby pictures gift. So, once you’ve celebrated enough birthdays, you notice an obvious pattern. That’s the story of every birthday. Here’s mine.

Mathematics and other not so microscopic viruses

In life, you always make choices. Since the time you were born, you learn to choose after you learn to breathe and cry for milk. Like in fifth grade, I had to choose between being cool and dumb (I chose cool, but ended up being dumb, but that’s a different story). And like the time in eighth grade, I had to make a choice between Messi and Ronaldo, because it was FIFA (I chose the hotter one, figure it out). And like the time in high school I had to choose between Math and Bio (I chose Math, better than cutting open dead bodies, I thought), so generally math homework is what makes me miserable and makes me question all the choices I’ve made uptil now. So, I made an excellent choice and closed my math books and made a tough choice between Netflix and Amazon Prime.  Just as the movie started and the protagonists were being introduced, I hear a voice, “What a creative way to study.” Wait, this dialogue doesn’t sound like it could belong to the movie. And sure enough, it isn’t. My dad is st
