I will Survive

“Am tired Mum…” I said as I drifted off. My hand fell off the bed. “She’s collapsed! Call the nurse” My mother said as she felt for my pulse. It was weak. “She’s bleeding… get the cart…page Dr. J….STAT….” the nurse ordered as she ran. My father stood helpless with my new born baby...

Ostrich in the Zoo

What about it? You ask. Well, ask my four years old who spoke of it. The new uniform I got recently was one of the latest corporate Do-It-Or-Else policy for safe guarding their image. Apparently, they were not happy with the non uniformed attire that the staff wore and decided to change the uniform...

My dad, My Superstar no more

Last ten days saw very little activity in GingerChai, the mails I received enquiring about it, reinforced the confidence and the passion I have with GingerChai and Team GingerChai. It assured me that we are not alone and the readers are equally passionate and keen about our site. My dad passed away on October...

Fantastic Four and the Health Management Programme!

The four of us were always up to no good despite our differences. We were two girls and two boys with 10 years difference from the first to the last.  Nothing alike in appearance and this in itself was the factor that enthralled everyone about us. Of all the things that we grew together...

Just an observation

So there I was, a mother of two; who could not remember the last time she had a quiet house and sitting beside me were a group of four young adults (they insist on being called that at 19!) complaining of the boring days they had, during their two month vacation. The bus stop...

Few Idiots!!!

(Yes, you read right!) One of my all time favourite movies will be Three idiots, reason: the adventures of college life that Raju Hirani portrayed bring back a lot of college memories. I have been blessed with friends of all kinds. Friends who warmed those ass shaped seats in my mind, on many occasions...

Marriages are Made in Heaven – Part 2

In case you missed reading  the first part ? Read here Marriages… Are they made in heaven? So, there I was waiting to be auctioned off. I was ‘the price commodity on the display shelf’, ‘the gem that every house was looking for’ and the ‘worry of every parent with a daughter’. There was...

Marriages are Made in Heaven?!

The person who said “Marriages are made in Heaven” must be shot dead…and with immediate effect. I am not the only female who holds that opinion. My notion of a marriage was a romantic affair. I believed that we know the ONE the instant we set eyes on them. After a decade of being...
