Destiny's favorite child

Today I can proudly say that I am destiny's favorite child. God has given me chances far more than anyone should ask.

My first relationship failed, I learnt nothing. I casually put the blame on my destiny and moved on...

My second relationship failed I carried on as if nothing has happened. After all, what else could be expected from an uneducated man.

My third relationship failed, this time God made sure that I had learnt the lesson.

A lesson which taught me to hold myself when the entire world was falling apart, to understand what is right and what is wrong, to know the difference between people who would use themselves for your good and people who would use you no matter what.

The final blow of my third relationship was when it was confirmed that this man was a con and was simply manipulating me to fulfill his and his family's financial ambitions. I was fortunate enough, that I realized this well in time. He snatched my credit cards initially, when I took them back with a innate display of anger; he demanded the details to pay for his family's air travel.

A man who expected that I should control my anger for filthy demeaning words, which only displayed his parent's uncivilized character. More important is I never said a word to his parents, but to him for not standing by me.

He never believed in the relationship and kept abusing me with baseless accusations of being a lifetime failure.

He kept blaming me that I put him up to walk on eggshells, whereas he was already walking on them, thanks to his own Karma, A man who always blamed me of being dishonest, only proved that a dishonest man feels that everyone else is going to cheat him.

Now, that he is engaged to some other innocent girl, I only hope that her family is smart enough to understand that if he can do this to one woman, it can be their daughter too, who would be paying for this man's ambitions. And a trust once broken can hardly be repaired, even if he was questioned once, he will have to be careful all his life and It will pay off me being really evil for once in my life. After all, I was smitten by the mark of the beast too.

Times and again, this man kept proving it that he was not worth my time and I was fortunate that the relationship did not work out, and I have a of feeling being blessed for life.

Riki - The dog and Me -the Human

A promise that will last forever... It was third week of November 2003. I was recovering from relapsed Malaria and pneumonia and had returned to my parent’s place from Navi Mumbai. My then husband turned up one early evening and surprised me with a gift. The gift was a cute little black Labrador retriever puppy of less than 3 months of age. (November 20, 2003) I always wanted a dog but my parent’s understanding of responsibility had always denied acceptance of a dog. We had fish and birds but a dog was too much. I had dreamt that when I will grow up I will get myself a German shepherd and my ex-husband always had dreamt of having a black lab. So obviously he picked up a black lab. When the puppy came home, my first reaction was, "ohh my baby is here!" Day one On day one, this pup sat near the chair which was like ten times his size, six months later he found that the space beneath this chair can be his hideout when a bath is called upon, and a year lat

How got Leh'd Part Three (10 August - 12 August 2014)

10th August: It was a good morning as it I could get up leisurely and get ready. We packed all luggages and kept in the guest house’s cloak room. (There were barely two big backpacks technically.) Today, I was well prepared with motion sickness tablet. We set ourselves in the SUV and picked up 2 Austrian girls Viktoria and Christa. They were on long vacation to India. We withdrew some money as we did not have any bookings made at the Nubra Valley. Our driver Dorje was a middle aged man, who claimed to be an ex-army. Jolly good fellow. He was fun to chat and seemed to be experienced as he knew how to handle 4 girls. Khardung La is barely 40 km from Leh. And most of the road to Khardung La overlooks Leh city. Shanti Stupa looked glorious in soft sunlight. Now, we were gaining altitude rapidly and I was haunted by the memories of Kargil war and Formula One car at Khardung La. Every time, we drove past the Army Officers, a feeling of regret, shame and pride kept revolving in my hea

In search of footsteps of the Great Shivaji Maharaj - Umbarkhind

February 1661: It was 2nd of February and the Mughal Army was marching fast towards the Konkan region from Pune. The army consisted of Horses, Bulls, Elephants, small canons and men. They were equipped for a full fledged war anytime. Their head, Kartalab Khan, was a fierce Uzbek warrior. Trusted by the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb, he was sent to the Pune region to assist Shahista Khan to wage war against the Great Shivaji. Kartalab Khan was assisted by Kachhap, Jasawant Kokate, and the lady sardar RaiBaghan. The army had reached Lohgad and Khan had decided to take the pass between Lohgad and Visapur to enter Konkan. The spies informed Kartlab Khan that the Great Shivaji was resting at Kuruwande Village, roughly 4 miles west to the Lohgad. Khan instantly jumped at the opportunity to siege the Great Shivaji and gain higher ranks at the courts of the Emperor. Thus, the army changed its course and turned towards to Kuruwande. As they reached Kuruwande, they found that the informers
