Hello's to all !
I know I'm charged guilty of letting this place rot for long now. I really can't give any excuses to explain my stand, rather, I have too many of them to list ! None of them qualify as reasons to have stayed away from blogging. Anyways, I was going through some of my old posts and I realized, there was nothing but fiction all over here. I felt like some grandma narrating tales to her grandchildren after dinner by the fireside!! For the much missing vent, here it goes -
2007 has made me a more confused soul, kicked me out of my teens, made me an aunt on the same day, nudged me to do some impulsive things, put me through some dire straits and blah blahs ! This happened yesterday and left my mother totally baffled and a few friends in splits -

Woke up after an afternoon nap - in a semi-conscious state - walk to mom's room and find her reading some magazine !
Me: Maaa...
Ma: *looking at the mag still* "What ?"
Me: Maaaaaaaa.......
Ma: *looks at me now and says* "Whaaat?"
Me: Ammmmaaaaaaa.......
Ma: *snaps back - "Stop mooing like a cow and tell me WHAT, will you ?"
Me: I'm hungry
Ma: You're always hungry Ramya
Me: I'm hungry ma..
Ma: Seri, what do you want ?
Me: I'm hungry maaaa..... hunger hungry
Ma: Adhaan di, what do you want ?
Me: I want to cut my hair maa !!

Amma gives the - OMG-what-happened-to-this-woman kind of look and throws me out of the room and no food or haircut either !

Happy New Year people ! Have all the prosperity, happity, giggity stuff !

Ps: Oh yes, shoot away your resolutions in the comment box! My resolution is to make a resolution and stick by it !

Jaideep was the name. He was everything that you wanted him to be. He had a normal childhood, middle class parents, a caring mother, a supportive father, one younger brother, Montessori schooling, an under graduation degree of his choice. Life was like a bunch of roses without any thorns. But then due to the strange quirk of fate, things went drastically wrong.
His father passed away before his completion of his degree, thus forcing him to support his family and the education of his younger brother. His mother; emotionally distraught at the loss; stopped talking to anyone else. Mentally disturbed by all this, Jai was forced to plunge his feet into the dirty business. The job that required him to be ruthless and nonchalant. It demanded him to defy the fundamental ethics that were taught to him. His new profession asked of him to kill - plain brutal murder.

Soon after his life took a hairpin bend, Jai started to get a little nauseated with his work. Who wouldn't? When you had assumed living a life of eternal peace and suddenly, one fine morning you had rob someone of their lives. His first assignment was the house where lived a small family of 4. They reminded him of his own family. The task, however, was quietly completed. More assignments came and his modus operandi became noteworthy amongst his colleagues. He basked in the glory of appreciation. He started to develop an inclination towards his work. He felt if this was what he was destined to do.

Today, after 5 long years, Jaideep was given a status that he truly deserved. All the hard work had paid off at last - he was made the Head of the Pest Control Division.
