My twilight zone ..

 Picture this: I'm in the middle of what feels like an episode of "The Twilight Zone" where promotions are as rare as unicorns, success seems to be on vacation in the Bahamas, and my bank account is giving me the silent treatment. Seriously, it's like my money has developed its own escape plan and ditched me for a better life.


So here I am, feeling about as low as a limbo dancer's bar, scrolling through astrology and numerology websites like they're my last hope for a winning lottery ticket. Because, you know, maybe the alignment of the stars can finally explain why my life resembles a comedy of errors.


I catch myself staring into the abyss of my closet, wondering if my clothes are secretly plotting a rebellion against me for neglecting them. Like, sorry, shirts, I promise I'll take you out for a spin once I've cracked the code to success and can afford to wear you to fancy parties instead of just Zoom meetings.


And let's talk about my kids. I love them to bits, but sometimes I wonder if they're on a mission to make my hair turn gray faster than a vintage TV set. Like, when will they figure out this whole adulting thing and stop treating adulthood like a perpetual episode of "Survivor: Household Edition"?


But hey, amidst all the chaos and confusion, I've become the ultimate cheerleader for myself. Who needs a pep talk when you've got a comedic monologue running in your head 24/7? So, I'll keep pushing forward, keep chasing those elusive dreams, and who knows, maybe one day I'll look back on this and laugh while sipping margaritas on a beach somewhere.

A Winter Coat and A Whole Lot of Memories

It was one of those chilly mornings when it was colder than the day before. I had been knowingly avoiding my thick winter coat—not because I thought I was tough, but because putting it on felt like admitting winter had won. And winter comes with all those gloomy thoughts of short days, dark nights, and cold toes. But that day, I gave in. I wore the coat, zipped it up with a sigh, and headed out to work. On my way, I stuffed my hands into the coat pockets to warm them up—because, let’s be honest, gloves are always missing when you need them. That’s when my fingers hit something crinkly. A piece of paper. Curious, I pulled it out. Lo and behold, it was a ticket to the Tate Modern museum! Now, I love art. But not the "paint-a-bowl-of-fruit" kind of art—I mean the kind that makes you go, “What in the world is that?” This ticket brought back memories of my last trip to the museum, a trip I can only describe as… an experience. I remember strolling in, full of enthusiasm, and seeing...

Furry Fun

  So, picture this: we were all geared up for a rockin' Saturday night out, ready to chow down on some grub and catch up with Akshaj, who we hadn't seen in ages. But oh boy, did fate have a twisted sense of humour. Akshaj's train got stuck at Brookmans Park station because of some random incident. No biggie, we thought, we'll just meet him at Hatfield instead. But then, the train decided to play a game of "let's see how long we can keep everyone waiting" for an extra 30 minutes! We were like, "Enough is enough!" and hatched a plan to rescue Akshaj from Brookmans Park. But as soon as he stepped off the train, it suddenly zoomed off without him! Talk about bad timing! We rushed to the station, only to find the road blocked by the police. Seriously, could this night get any crazier? But thanks to Gargi's common sense , she managed to break through the barricade and track down Akshaj at a nearby pub, where his phone decided to call it quits. Afte...

There's nothing like bad weather..

 "Rain, Robins, and Relentless Cheer: I was sipping my coffee and watching the endless rain through my kitchen window. It had all gone dark and cold, with a drizzle adding to the misery. I felt like I was trapped in a scene from a particularly dreary British novel, where the only exciting thing to happen is when someone misplaces their umbrella. But then, something caught my eye—a fluffy robin hopping around in the garden. Despite the downpour and the November-like gloom ( in the middle of May), this chunky little bird was out there, pecking for worms and perching on my beautiful plants, which had somehow managed to burst into colourful blooms. I was amazed by its tenacity! Here I was, contemplating my life choices over a cup of coffee, and this robin was having the time of its life. Enter Kiran, our in-house Wikipedia, who decided to add his two cents to the mix. He said, "Did you know that in cold weather, birds can't grow a thick winter coat like many mammals do? Inste...
