My everyday flavors

"Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born." This post is about 2 amazing men who along with Sakti and Nandini were the cornerstones of my special world during COLLEGE! College is an experience where one expands one’s horizons on both personal aspects and academic aspects. Much like the neem flower pachadi- a south indian delicacy, my college experience was a bittersweet one. As I stood anxiously,at the gates of my campus, all I could see was the glimpse of my very bright future. At that particular instant, I was nescient as to how everything about me was about to change in just a period of 3 months.  The first semester started with full vigor and it was a mixture of me making friends,trying to suss out people in the new city and learning a lot of new things.

Mignon McLaughlin, a famous journalist once said, “A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” And yes, as  you have guessed this post is about that one person whom I fall in love with every single day….my better half i.e my husband:) My husband came as a ray of sunshine in my life.

                    Today is International Men's day and I thought it would only be fitting to write an ode to all the amazing men in my life.                First and foremost, I want to start with the man who's partially responsible for my existence:) He is the most influential man in my life.

Being a single child, he was my best buddy who engaged in pillow fights, who made tearing waste papers an activity just so that his little girl could laugh like a crazy maniac...Having said that, like every other typical Indian dad he did have a stern and strict exterior but on the inside I knew that his heart always melted for me like a softy. He stood with me during my highs and lows and never once gave up on me. There were phases of my life when I h...
