Friendship Day is just round the corner and I wanted to put another happy notch in my friends’ heart by writing about us. Well, this is for the readers who might have missed my previous post on them, I called that post THREE (DEFINITELY NOT) IDIOTS. If not idiots, we can’t be anything else but like Read more »

“So Kuenga Dhendup finally brought you here!” Our host sipped his wine with a huge slurp sound. I looked at my roommate. “Kuenga Dhendup?” I never heard my room mate tell me her hubby’s name was Kuenga, I always thought I heard her call him ‘bangka’. Oh! realisation struck, no person can have a name so weird as ‘bangka’ so his real name must be ‘Kuenga’, Read more »

“I’ve left a mail for you in Yahoo, read it and reply it ASAP,” the ASAP would always come in bold letters for that’s where the main message is, ALWAYS.

“You…”she pointed her slender fingers right near my nose, I flinched,”…just in class EIGHT and your boyfriend in class TEN, what are you going to feed your children?” She took a long angry breath. “Rotten socks?” My trembling lips could summon no answer to my angry matron who was shouting at me for having caught me talking to my boyfriend on the steps Read more »

Coffees were replaced by occasional dinners and shopping sprees. He was too peaceful a companion for a wild shopping spree, not a character well defined in a man. Somehow shopping and men seem like antonyms, but my stranger turned friend lived through all my hassling around the stores which offered sales. There was no boredom ever flashing across his smiley face. Read more »

“Dinner?” the solitary word spread out in blue as the spilled coffee was absorbed by the thin napkin that was used to protect my hands from the hot coffee. I don’t know how many of these solitary offer of intimacy I had discarded and this too would have gone into the waste bin had the sudden jerking of the train not caught me off guard.

I still remember the first time I heard this word. It was the same year the biggest  flash flood occurred in the small town I lived in with my parents. I had been spanked by my mother repeatedly for going for swimming in that small stream but back then I always thought that she spanked me for bringing home tadpoles in empty beer bottles on my way back home, Read more »
