‘Zero’

Posted on 20/01/2012 by Aparna.Burjwal

I guess I am angry. And hurt. And the freedom provided in GC will need to be curbed. We are not ready for democracy. For freedom. Freedom has a flip side to it which is ‘responsibility’. And most of us want the freedom without the responsibility. We want all the pluses. With no minus at … Continue reading »

Still searching

Posted on 19/12/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

The beginning of the week. And there is tiredness of the mind and hence the body. And there is fear. Of the future. Of the unknown. Of tommorrow. Very low faith levels. Need to have more faith. I guess need HP to step in right now and take over. The big things and the small. … Continue reading »

To take the exit route

Posted on 28/10/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Its a quiet morning. The Diwali fever is over. The exchanging of gifts, the lighting of diyas, the pleasing of ‘ The Goddess of Laxmi’ with elaborate pooja being over. With so much of light and noise around, I felt complete darkness within. We followed all the rituals. We did pooja in the office. Lighted … Continue reading »

A chaotic sanity

Posted on 24/10/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

The car is back in a battered condition. waste of time and paperwork. And all of this because the RWA wanted to prove a point. Or the police wanted to show its might. yaar to kuch powerful logon ko pakdo. Catch hold of some influential people and prove it. Why do we always pick up … Continue reading »

A visit to AAI, vegetables in the house, letter for limit renewal to the bank, petrol re-fill for the car and ad infinitum. Amongst all of these, the only ” Aaj ki dhyadi” wala work has been the visit to AAI. I was able to clarify one doubt and that is a huge achievement. Not … Continue reading »

Surviving the trough

Posted on 08/09/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

The work for the water proofing of the roof of the technical section will begin tommorrow. We pay for the water supply through private tankers and we have to pay to stop the rain water from coming in through our roof. What an irony. The fire guys came apparently to inspect the premises but in … Continue reading »

To God, with love

Posted on 26/07/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

A street urchin ran up to my car window at a red light. I did not have coins and I gave him a ten rupee note. I moved the car forward by inches to avoid any further encounters with the kids on the streets. It feels uncomfortable. It is too much reality in the face. … Continue reading »

To pause and to reflect

Posted on 04/06/2011 by Aparna.Burjwal

Ankit is trying to source some raw data for the online shop. There are multiple vendors and they are also soucing data from each other. So it is quite a hilarious mess. There is no way to track the authenticity of the source of the data (the pedigree so to say). So maybe we will … Continue reading »

We wish to cry but cannot. we wish to shout but cannot.what greater imprisonment can exist beyond this. The imprisonment of the soul. Worse than keeping the body in confinement. Imprisoned souls.
