Purani Jeans to formals!

 



On a random cloudy day, both the jeans and formals are hanging side by side, behind the door on the door hooks. It's been days since jeans are hanging in there and getting bored so she thought she should talk to her contemporary formals who are quite busy these days. That's when they strike a conversation:

 

Purani Jeans: Heyy, how are you, dear formal pants ?

 

Formals: Earlier I used to say I was better than you, saved for special days and occasions, but today I am really sorry for all that boasting, I am just too tired now.

 

Purani Jeans: Common, now I have got your status of being used for special occasions and rest of the time I am just resting, and trust me it's so boring.

 

Formals: What boring, given a chance I would happily go back to last year and chill in the cupboard forever.

 

Purani Jeans: And I am completely bored of being in the cupboard, it's so dark and dull in there, in fact I even hate being hanged here for too long, but at least there is a hope that she will wear me again soon before I meet my friend washing machine followed by the drying stand, I rarely meet them these days.

 

Formals: I meet them quite often now, they are really good and you know that they too miss you a lot and always keep telling me old anecdotes.

 

Purani Jeans: Ohh now I miss them more. By the way how is she these days?

 

Formals: She is always hustling. Anxious about the monthly targets and daily goals. Earlier when she wore me, she used to click so many pictures and used to be so confident and fully energized. Now she doesn't click any pictures nor is she more confident and neither energized at all!

 

Purani Jeans: It seems like I don't know this girl anymore. She was so full of life, in fact she loved life to her fullest. I remember her good old college days, when she tried me with her crop tops, tank tops, kurtis and T shirts. She had a colorful wardrobe, of all her jeans I was her favorite one. Her first day at college was one of my most memorable days with her. She made new friends, talked a lot, partied with her new gang and everyone praised her for her on point fashion sense. What was your most memorable day with her?

 

Formals: Well, definitely not the first day of office, but the day of her placements. I remember she was very nervous that day, continuously going through her notes and preparing. Then she sat for all the three rounds of placements. She was a little more nervous for every next round. But she faced it all with confidence and dedication and finally made it to the selected candidate list. She jumped in joy, I was so happy for her, little did I know this very job will take away all the peace, happiness and her beautiful smile from her. But I just hope that she remains healthy after all the mental and physical stress that she goes through.

 

Purani Jeans: Yes you are right she has to remain fit otherwise both of us will be out of use for her and then we will miss washing machine, drying rack, and most importantly we will miss her and each other!

 

Formals: Yes you are right. I am sure she will settle in here as well, colors will definitely come back to her life, but it will take time. Until then let's stick with her through thick and thin.

 

And then suddenly she comes and picks up the formals, Purani jeans waves goodbye to formals, they say to each other," See you soon"

 

Happy Reading,

 

Until next time,

The Teacup Talks!⛾⛾

The Teacup Talks! A fictional tale of two tea cups! The moon is looking from the window, the tea cups are just washed and kept on the side of the sink to dry before one of them is filled with the first piping hot tea next morning. The 2 teacups are special, it's just the two of them that are left of the set of 6, the other's had a short life. But these two have survived. The silence has started talking loudly, and so have the Teacups, the moon eavesdrop their talk, and this what he hears.... Teacup 1: Hey, are you still awake after the shower? Teacup 2: (with a little shocked expression as Teacup 1 rarely talks) Umm, yes I am awake, how are you awake, you generally sleep soon after the night shower. Teacup 1: (a bit shy yet firmly replying) You are right dear, it is because I am used thrice in a day, so basically I take shower also thrice and that really tires me, but today it was only once in the evening, so I am not that tired and felt like if you are also awake we could have...

Summer Holidays in Gwalior!

Sketch of the House by Mumma! Me, Durva & a Cow on the gate! Once upon a time when the month of May used to be summer vacations, we used to visit Gwalior, a city, a district, a historically important place, and more than that my birth place. It was quite simple, the first ten summer vacations of my life were just going to Gwalior, there was no stress of packing clothes,books, shoes, sunglasses, everything was taken care of by Mumma. It was so exciting to catch a train and enjoy it for 19 hours to travel 1220 kms.  I started writing this blog once before this and ended up writing all about the train journey only and felt like the train journey to Gwalior is in itself a topic for a blog which I will write some time later. For now I want to relive my summer vacations in Gwalior through this blog, and I hope you too recall and reminisce about your childhood summer vacations after reading this one.  So it always began with searching for Patil Baba (Blog link: https://sidthissid...

Virtues Nursery!

  Goswami Madam and mini Siddhi! God cannot be everywhere so he created Parents and Teachers. Parents often see us grow all along but teachers witness us only for some years and then we grow up and move on to the next class and they are left behind with a new batch of students. My first school or now as they say playschool was ‘Virtues Nursery’ where I did my playgroup and nursery under the guidance and great teachings of my most respected and dearest Goswami Madam. The name of the school was a reflection of what we were taught, yes ‘virtues’ of respect, conduct, care, love, sharing and so much more. I still remember being taught how to sit properly, how to respect elders, how to eat food when sitting with a gathering alongside the alphabet, numbers and poems. After a certain point we are generally taught the syllabus of our curriculum, but it was in Virtues Nursery that lessons on life and the conduct of it were actually taught.  Goswami Madam could teach us ‘Virtues’ as she ...
