Things I hate about family functions/ family get togethers-

a) Me forced to say -“how are you, your husband/wife, your elder kid, your younger kid, blah blah blah” to a person whose family affairs I’m least interested in.
b) Listening to an aunt describe her kidney stone removal procedure in greatest detail.
c) Listening to a man boast about how his son in the States bought a Vinci/ how he visited the Niagara Falls/ how he cooks his own dinner etc..
d) Explaining for the hundredth time that all lawyers are not criminal lawyers or divorce lawyers. This one really kicks me- people seem to think there are no laws other than criminal law or domestic law. So explaining that I’m into Intellectual Property Law is too hard.
e) Being photographed while eating

Dear Dow Chemicals, You have yet to compensate the victims of the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. You have a moral and financial obligation towards the victims and their descendants. How the hell are you are sponsoring the London Olympics? And just because the original plant was bought over by another entity does not entitle the new entity to go scot free. Dear Indian Government, Why is that you are ready to take steps against a person/ entity/ group only when the whole world creates a hue and cry? Lakhs of Indians are still physically and mentally affected by the exposure to the gas leak on that fateful night of December 1984. Your own citizens. Today is the 26th of January, our Republic Day. But I feel no pride. The real pride lies when the Government and its people work towards the safety and welfare of its citizens. Dear Anderson, Still alive and kicking, really?

There are some moments in life when you actually feel that your childhood (probably not the right word) has come to an end. When you feel you cant behave like a brat and expect people to say- oh she’s just a kid. Being the youngest in my family and also at my work place, I never thought of myself as a grown up. Even when I started earning. Yesterday I met one of my closest friends & childhood playmate. She’s getting married and leaving the country in a few days . I knew it all along but when I said bye to her yesterday , it finally sunk into me that everything is changing. The house where we spent countless days playing choppu and other invented games is going to belong to someone else soon. God, I’l never forget those days. And it’s horrible to know it’l never come back.
