One of the things I love doing is curling up on the couch with a big mug of coffee, a book and some Debussy playing in the background.  Trust me; it doesn’t get any better than that.
When I read something, I have a video playing in my head. I see and feel things. It’s like feeling what the characters feel.  It’s a surreal experience. I’ve been labeled as completely lunatic but that’s how I am.  



When I was a kid, I used to write stories. Most of them were obscure and lacked a plot. But hey I was 5 years old and you can’t expect a kid to write like Dickens. I started writing poetry a few years ago. But you need to take out time for the things you love and I can’t seem to get enough “me time”. I haven’t really written anything in ages, except for a poem for someone I thought I was in love with. Love makes you do all kinds of things isn’t it?

I sometimes wish that instead of studyingbusiness, I had pursued a degree in arts or fine arts or studied literature. I’ve always been a creative person and I should’ve gotten into a creative field- preferably creative writing. Maybe I’ll enroll in for some program in one of the universities in my city or maybe move out so I can get a lot more exposure in terms of learning. Well, the possibilities are endless and you never know if I publish my own book titled- Musings of a crazy girl.

On a serious note, if you are passionate about writing, you can always opt for a Bachelor's degree programs in English, journalism or communications. Many top universities offer programs that focus on specific areas of writing. The courses cover fiction, short stories, poetry etc. You can also learn how to write feature articles, travel writing, news reports, screenplays etc.

Apart from this there are workshops that you can attend to enhance your writing skills. These workshops help you understand the nuances of writing while providing an environment to stimulate writers.


Okay enough of that serious talk, I need some coffee and the couch looks quite inviting too. I think I should pick a book and plop on the couch and let the book take me to a far away land, away from all this chaotic and mad city life.  Care to join me? It will be a fine adventure, I promise.

Well it’s that time of the year again, the much ‘awaited’ pardon my sarcasm while my stomach grumbles Navratri- 9 days of obeisance, prayer and gratitude. But I write today talking about the other side of Navratri- the dearth of non-vegetarian food!
As an Engineering student hailing from Bengal, and idling away time in my first year at one of the Best Private University in Uttarakhand, busy preparing for the mid -term examinations that looms like a BIG Demon who needs to be defeated; no one can deny the importance of good nutrition, of a solid well-balanced diet of meats, grains and vegetables. Here I interject again- No matter what my vegetarian friends and hostel mates at my University say- a tasty bowl of lentils can never replace the mouth- watering taste of a chicken leg.

I wander from one mess to the next, from one on-campus restaurant to the next, much alike a zombie in one of the drama series that seem to have everyone biting their nails these days; hoping to find a discarded egg or a wing somewhere. This, while my brain played tricks on my taste buds; stimulating images of ‘unholy’ mouth -watering delicacies; making me forget my calculus computations and thermal formulae taught in the first year of theLeading Technical University in Dehradun.

I was doomed- with no hopes in sight, on the brink of serious malnutrition when I discovered the next best thing- Kuttu parantha, an extremely scrumptious invention of crafty vegetarians, served with a bowlful of steaming hot potato curry.

I almost wept, fell upon my knees and thanked God, and the Goddess of course, for this amazing discovery that I accidentally stumbled upon in the on-campus restaurant.

Another amazing discovery- that momos could be veg and so could spring rolls! Thank you Bikano and on-campus Tuck shops- I still breathe, I am still alive, I still live to see a new day!

So, all in all while all my religious north-indian friends fast and rigorously try to convert me to see the bright side of this beautific festival, which indeed is beautiful with all the odhnis and the song and dance, I still stand by and wait woefully, munching on my Kuttu Parantha and veg spring rolls, for the day when I can feast my eyes, and my tongue, to a bucketful of Chicken Biriyani.


Till then my friends…you shall find me wandering!
