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...

Zoozoozoo : A journey

Today is Sunday , May 1st 2022 and yesterday i was invited to my daughter's school to witness a small function. My daughter Suhani was born in 2007 and the day clearly flashes in front of my eyes when she got on to the auditorium stage for her first annual function during her LKG class . I had dressed her up in a beautiful purple frock . The auditorium echoed with the sounds of claps as the team LKG stepped on to the stage and took their positions as couples . Their teacher had blushed everyone's cheeks pink and golden. The song started 'Zoozoozoo......we welcome you ......' and the kiddos started twisting their hips and legs holding on to their partners . Awww...it was such an adorable performance that a mother couldn't control her tears . Watching some kids who forgot their dance steps and wanted to just run here and there on the stage was fun too ! Yesterday was the day when she again marched on to the auditorium, this time ...

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...
