Gurpreet Singh, known by his nickname Happy , was dear to all the villagers because of his generosity.

Now having moved from a small village of Punjab , India to the big town Livingston of New Jersey , Gurpreet Singh has turned into Garry. The turban has disappeared, the long oiled hair turned into short n styled gel ones.

The big city’s dazzle has taught him to make many faces , officeface, partyface, streetface but the original Happyface is lost somewhere. His every face means business now.

As he is busy reading Business Times and planning for new investments , the phone starts vibrating with a call from someone Manpreet Singh . Garry thinks a little before sliding his hand but when he does, hears a teary choked voice in punjabi from the other side ” Happy Veer , Bebe Rab nu pyari ho gayi ” (Brother, Our Mom is no more in this world ) , with the echoing crying sounds of many in the background .

Wearing a warm coat , Garry answers cold heartedly ” O I see , Did she write a will ? When is the probate ?” & he again focusses on the TISE in the newspaper.

A letter to my Kitchen

Being a woman i also spend lot of time in my kitchen whether full heartedly , half heartedly or not at all heartedly . But in any case i have to go in my kitchen off and on . Today I feel like writing a letter to my kitchen. Dear Kitchen Hope you are living a fulfilling life with all your jars filled to the brim with wheat , rice , pulses , sugar , tea ,coffee and cookies . I also hope that your sinks are now empty and clean unlike the last month when maid was on leave . Those days ,your sinks used to be piled up with utensils and it stinked so badly . Dear kitchen , it's been around seventeen years that i am taking care of you . Now you are grown up as a teenager and so you should learn to be responsible and maintain your hygiene . It feels good when my family agrees on khichdi and your cooker does the job in just one whistle . But you just don't cooperate when they demand Chole Bhature and you also start giving me tantrums . Remember ho...

Uplift your mood

My evening today was not good . I was doing all domestic chores in a burdened way. I tried watching some movie but it couldn't interest me . One of my colleagues called to intimate me of some upcoming duty. That further pressurized my bad mood . I wore my shoes , put on my headphones and got ready for a walk . After walking for around half an hour and listening to old bollywood , my feet took me towards the splash pool where children were enjoying . I removed my shoes and sat there at the edge of the pool dipping my feet into the water. Watching me , one of my friends also came and sat along . Both of us sat for quite long on the edge of pool - chatting and dabbling our toes in the water. This cooled my mind and uplifted my mood . You need to find your own ways to uplift your mood as and when required . Music , Dance ,Good food , Laughing , shopping ,picnic , playing any sport you like , painting , talking to someone , chanting a man...

I am getting Older day by day

I have stopped spending too much money on clothing or accessories......... I have stopped thinking too much about pleasing others....... I have stopped looking daily into the mirror ....... I have stopped cooking those time consuming delicious meals for my family ...... TV doesn't excite me as much now ....... My fingers can't scroll for long on facebook....... I don't feel like keeping longer nails - file or paint them....... Am i getting older day by day ? Travelling, Cycling or small get-togethers; I love to spend money and time on experiences now...... Only the fitness goals push me to look into the mirror ..... I am able to overlook others' reactions when it comes to listen to my heart. I recently denied a loved one's advice because my heart was unable to accept it..... I cry easily now when i relate to someone's emotions , even watching a movie ...... Am i getting older day by day ? or Am i getting freer day by day ? I wish to be dre...
