Kaya and I had joined the team together. We had seen the ups and downs of the project. Both of us came to the team in the same conditions, our thoughts had aligned and we had become really good friends. Since Kaya was leaving, I was happy for her for the better prospect, little sad because my best friend was leaving. When it was her last day I had taken the lead to buy gifts for her. As token of our friendship I had prepared a greeting card for her and got it signed by everyone in our team.
The last one to sign the card was another colleague Shraddha. When I asked Shraddha to sign it she looked at the card. She was looking at the picture that I had drawn. She was looking at it for a quite some time so I had to ask her, "is everything okay Shraddha?"
That question broke her trance and sh…
A few days ago I had watched a movie called "Luckless in love". This movie had showed the experience of a protagonist in the dating scene. She would go out on dates and the dates would turn out to be disasters. She would come back and write about the dating experience in her blog. When I had watched that movie I was really intrigued with it. I was not intrigued with the dating part but the blogging part.

Creative writing was only a part of…

If they choose my life without worrying about exception then I think it would look very different.
I dream of disappearing into a small village that most maps barely acknowledge. A place where morning begins with birds instead of traffic where children still chase each other through dusty roads and where people know each other through names rather than by social media.
I would stay there for a while...not as someone's saviour but as someone's teacher. I would spend my days teaching children to read, to question and to dream. And above a…
I was checking my email last night at 10:30. I saw an email from one of the crowd sourcing platform that I have signed up with. I opened that email. It said that a project is available for me. The project matches with my skill set. I should lock in immediately and claim that project. Else someone else will claim it and it will go from the open workflow. I was happy to receive that email. I am always looking for such projects. It had work for approximately 30 minutes with good payout. I was almost going to click on it but then I stopped myself. I asked myself isn't this why you left your job? The answer was yes.
