Sawan mei lag gayi aag!

 The long weekend was getting closer and my mobile didn't stop beeping! The notification numbers were increasing like a running Taximeter. Finally, I picked up the fone.100 notifications?




I opened the WhatsApp, all the notifications were from my Wonderwomen (that's our girls group).

Anisha: Hi girls! Monsoons are here..☔.... Let's welcome Monsoons with a ladies night out this long weekend. 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️👯‍♀️

Dhwani: Yay! am in....💃..kids?
Anisha: No kids! Only girls.
Vama: Will confirm in few minutes.

Prerna: What's the plan? Bookings?
Alia: Arey yaar! How can I leave my lil one? She's hardly two. Tumhare bacche badey hai yaar. Woh nai rahegi, without me.

Anisha: Ek din adjust karo na!
Vama: Girls am in...but meri chhoti wali bhi nahi rahegi akeli...will get her.
Prerna: Lekin plan kya hai? kaha jaye?

Anisha: Have short listed some good places. Sharing the links, have a look. It's our 1st night out. So yahi Lonavla jaate hai. In case wapas ana padey to will be easy. Monsoons and Lonavla are synonymous!😜 Let's enjoy the Sawan!

Dhwani: Yay am in! kahi bhi le chalo yaar....just need a break... Last week my other friend from school, her gang went out. Wow! kya pics thi yaar...Waterfalls pe gaye the!🥰😘
And 90 more messages read✅

Me: Galz! am in....😘.....👜🎒🛍Chalo!



Finally, we all decided on a place, 'Cloud 9', in Lonavla. We booked a bungalow with 3 bedrooms, a huge living area, a projector room and a swimming pool. "Ahh! A monsoon trip, with girls", I was already excited for our 1st ladies Monsoon Night out!


Anisha, most enthusiastic person in the group (she's the one who makes most of our plans, even now!), got her car. We all hoped in with our bags and two girls with their lil girls.
The Monsoon does some magic to the nature! Stopping by wherever we saw beautiful scenery, clicking pictures for memories, getting drenched in the drizzles, we finally reached our destination.



Cloud 9 was literally covered in clouds. It was a beautiful property. Our bungalow was quite secluded, so we were happy that no one's gonna disturb us (rather no one's gonna get disturbed because of us!). One of us, yelled, "Yay! We are free birds"..other shouted, "Feels like we are back to college"....The bungalow was filled with  our giggles. And we settled in the verandah with hot ginger tea and pakodas, to top with it, some spicy chats!



We made plans - Let's swim, then sing and dance! We didn't even finish planning and it started raining heavily! "Ah! Swimming cancel...1st plan ki Taai taai fish!".. We thought.



Vama: Yaar meri bacchi ko bhook lagi hai...let's order something to eat. Alia What bout your daughter? kya khaegi?



While they were deciding on what to order, our Miss Enthu, Anishaji changed into a beautiful one piece. And started with her photos session. She had actually attained an expertise of "Posing right"- Google crash course! Some poses in the verandah, some near the pool, some with umbrellas...etc..etc

I joined in her too! Actually we all are attracted to the camera, in the same way, ants are to sugar! We had 100s of pics clicked, under the guidance of Anisha, the pro.



Now was the time for our 2nd plan. We put on some good music, changed into disco wear and turned the living room into dance floor. The lil girls were enjoying watching us dance. After sometime, they had dinner and feel asleep.
So, we switched off the Mom Mode and started to go into Trance Mode. To enhance this mode we decided to try some cocktail drinks. None of us actually was into drinking, but we had decided to give it a try. Pata nai fir kab mouka mile? Then one of us said "Yaar, hookah try karte hai!". Everyone agreed. So along with food, came in the drinks and the hookah.



We all were excited about our brand new experiment. Vama said, "I have tried pehle bhi, kuch nai hota, glass uthao apne apne......Cheers girls..to our 1st night out...and many more to come!". Alia said, "Keep me out, you girls go ahead".
We all clinked our glasses and took a sip. Everyone had weird expressions on their faces. Alia kept her fone ready to click. None of us really liked the taste but we decided to keep drinking.
Now was the time for hookah. We distributed the mouth tips and began our mission. Anisha, passed it to Vama,  passed it to me, passed it to Dhwani..to Prerna...Prerna exhaled rings.... Wow she's a pro....We shouted and clapped. The second round of drinks and we entered the Tipsy Mode ..... Vama decided to go out in the rains with her glass. She opened the huge glass doors of the living room, pushed aside the curtains. Prerna followed her. Anisha and me confused, looking at each other, thinking Should we stop them? What if they fall into the pool? Dhwani put the hookah down. While going out Prerna's foot tripped from the hookah pipe. Her glass fell down, drink on the floor. Burning coal from hookah fell on the drink, caused a fire.....the curtain tips started to burn too. Only Alia was perfectly in her senses, she brought a bucket full of water and splashed over the curtain. The fire went off.

Hushhh! We all sat down with weirder expressions on our faces. Alia again got her fone to click us some more. We all got to our senses and figuring out what exactly happened, guffawed at our foolishness.

And the second moment keeping our glasses down, speakers volume turned to full.....we started to dance on the then hit number..."Sawan mei lagg gayi aag.....!".

Diary 2024

  And 2024 ends..... What a roller coaster ride!  Every year passes by and the new year comes afore, leaving you with something and making you leave something.  It would be quite odd if time doesn't indoctrinate our minds. This year taught me so much, like the previous one and the prior ones too! I have learnt valuable lessons thanks to 2024. The year was challenging, demanding yet gratifying.  What I grasped this year would be exemplar for rest of my life!  The fear of losing your close ones, leaves you petrified. While the close ones are battling, struggling with all their mights, you feel helpless even when you have honest intentions of support. Mental support, yes that can be given in abundance, there's no ceiling to it. But the one you intend to support is going through so much that sometimes just being there, showing up is also helpful.  Sleepless nights, nightmares haunted me for days. But then when you see them valiantly striving and vanquishing the...

Moira : Bound to happen! Chapter - 1.

She was sitting on the bench under the huge tree. Its extensive branches covered few more benches around. The park was a hangout place for teenagers. It was a playground for children and a perfect site for the exercise enthusiasts. People jogged, wearing headphones, determined to shed those extra kilos and be fitter, sticking to their new year resolutions, was a familiar sight here.  Yuga wasn't feeling the vibe today. She had left home as usual, early in the morning, in her tracks and tee to run a few miles, but after three rounds she just sat down on the bench. She saw an old lady taking rounds, walking slowly, but with vigour. The tree was shedding it's aged golden leaves. One such tanned foliole fell beside Yuga on the bench. She picked it up and let it descend on the ground. She switched off the songs playing on her phone. With air pods in her ears, she sat inert on the bench. She closed her eyes and could hear the birds chirping. "They are so happy even at the break ...

What's your plan?

 "You've to score good grades at school!" "You've to do your Olympiads!" "You need to have a co-curricular activity or some sports activity!" "You should be able to dance or sing or play a musical instrument!" Oh my my! So much pressure on these little one's learning to adapt and traverse the lanes and by lanes of this complicated world. "But its a rat race! He/she needs to figure it out sooner. Studies, career, universities, the stress builds up as they advance into their grades (classes), isn't it?" Yes, true. It's a tough task for the coming generations. Population is ever increasing. Even though the colleges and courses are increasing in numbers but we have no say on the quality of education they impart. Also the leading universities and colleges are always the first priority, obviously. So the newbies are looked down upon. Also the reservations hinder the paths of many. Well, so what score is a good enough score...
