The Sunset
Looking out of the window, I look as the rooftops bath in a deep golden shade of the setting Sun. The rays reflected by the glass on the other windows and on the tiny cars scurrying the road beneath, is making anything else, hard to see. The trees are silent as though absorbing the maximum sunlight before being engulfed by the dark night. Even though I get to see this view frequently, it has still never failed to amaze me. I can’t help winder how perfectly and beautifully our world has been architect-ed. How the rays know exactly where to fall and which angle to make at the exact moment,…

Harry Potter Question :: Why no one notices ill effects of Polyjuice Potion on Hermione in CoS
I was seeing the Chamber of Secrets movie for possibly the billionth time [sadly, after my recent Hard Disk malfunctioning, I only have one movie which I keep seeing.]. During the course of the movie, on the scene where the three drink Polyjuice Potion and Ron and Harry turn into Crabbe and Goyle respectively. *drama building* Then the two ask Hermione to come out and when she doesn’t *drama building* SPOILER ALERT the two boys ask her to come out… and when she does… [Anyone who has not yet read the books or seen the movies – Why are you still on the planet? Go read the books and come…

Yellow-Co-Incidence
It was weird today. In the morning, I had no idea what to wear. I decided to wear a chudidaar-salwaar-kameez. The problem was still not solved. I still had many options to choose from – from different designs to different colors. The dilemma was there because I had two dresses in mind and I wanted wear them both on Thursday. So, for an ordinary Tuesday, I couldn’t fix my mind on anything. Finally, after good five minutes of thought process, which is like an hour for me, I decided on a yellow suit. Now there were three reasons for choosing this suit – Firstly, yesterday (Monday) was a really dear…

Book Review : Harry Potter and the Cursed Child
Well.. first things first – Ignore the tags! Whatever they may say, this is NOT a book review. I will never be big enough to write a review for any Harry Potter book. The entire series is a huge part of my life and indeed, it is something so huge that I can conveniently interchange ‘life’ and ‘Harry Potter world’. There is a friend in London and all I have spoken to him in weeks is about the play in the Palace Theatre and how I just need to see it. There was a puja (ritual) that we hold at our place every year; my dad wanted to have…

The iPhone Conundrum
After a very long time (lie!!) I am traveling by the Delhi metro (well.. After quite long I am traveling at this hour.. Otherwise I traveled on Monday itself and today is just Thursday). What I notice significantly in the train is that almost every girl is holding an iPhone. Mostly it is 6s but quite 5 series as well. Regardless of the size, color, cover or willingness-to-flash the brand, an iPhone, nonetheless. Just a couple of years back, I sought Apple products to signify two things – riches and even more riches. The first riches is in terms of technology – iPhone is a one of it’s kind phone…

The Alarm Clock
Every morning, I wake up to my parents endless (and quite effective) efforts. Half in the dreamland and half right here, I make my way through the usual tasks, that are so mastered that I can do them even in complete sleep. Next I leave for my bus stop where I need to await the bus. Waiting for the bus is another experience in itself. Every day I will see the same set of people rushing by. Before my bus should reach the stop I await at, a number of buses pass by. The same buses and almost the same schedule every day. There is a bus which has K…

Be the Change!!
“When difficult times come, people change.” – This is not something that you might have heard for the first time but it definitely is something that I heard today with a very different meaning. I was watching the latest Bollywood movie Airlift, starring Akshay Kumar. The movie is about how the Indians escaped the adverse conditions in Kuwait post Iraq’s attack. Now, like all Akshay movies, this is definitely a movie worth the watch. Bigger than that, however, the reason why I really saw the movie is because of ‘Kuwait’. Kuwait forms a part of my childhood. And not just childhood, Kuwait has given me some really amazing memories that…
