Dad, I was never your Son!

Image
  You called me Princess, you called me doll & when I was growing up you called me superwoman, I loved it all as it was so much fun, But you never called me your son   You never called me your son As that would have meant that sons are better But for you the difference never mattered   It didn’t matter whether I wear frock or I wear shorts Whether I play with doll or with cars On my graduation, you opened a bottle of scotch from your bar   Whether it was an adventure sport or a trip to Iraq You encouraged me to pursue all the things I didnt see many girls at these places Because it was their fathers who didn’t give them the wings   I don’t say it enough, but I am really thankful For not only giving me this life but letting me live the life I am not your son neither I want to be For you taught me that a good kid is what I should be

Here I go again!

Tap Beer Syndrome

Image
It was a hot n humid September afternoon in Mumbai, I was chilling out with my favorite gang - Amit & Chetal. From GST to politics to cricket to Netflix, I was loving the way we were changing the discussion topics like Mumbai weather. Engrossed in a serious discussion about how India is moving, finally Amit remembered that we are supposed to feed ourselves. On asking my choice - I expressed my desire to have a tap beer. Isnt that too precise and why Tap beer. So, my subconscious mind remembered that it was a dry day. Both laughed as this wasn’t the first time I was asking for something that was unavailable. With a giggle Chetal diagnosed me to be suffering from Tap beer syndrome – basically chasing something what I cant get. That made me think, whether  I feel very needy or maybe greedy in those moments. I am weird and I like that awkwardness. But I am not alone.  "Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can't have," heard Meredith

How far can you go, for the dream, you allowed in your mind to grow! Your   journey will start with a cover of vagueness around Your heart knows where to go, just listen to its sound Guard yourself against the merry go round Of the mediocracy that surrounds. Rising above that is all that counts. Remember, its far where have to go Don’t let the days which are blue, make you feel low… Your perseverance will break the shackles of difficulties, Shattering the clouds of criticalities There shall come a rainbow of possibilities, Keep moving forward with faith in your abilities, Which will help your dreams turn in realities. Challenge yourself & see How far can you go, for the dream, you allowed in your mind to grow! Keep your head above the drowning waters of depression, You are slated to leave behind, a positive impression Enrich your face with a smile & fearless expression Nothing can stop you if you have the never dying passion

Earn good, invest better!

Today, Indian woman earns well, spends well but why doesn’t she invest well? Why the canniest female generation our country has ever witnessed, is dawdling behind in a sphere where there is complete freedom. She relishes her financial independence by siphoning money from her own account to shop, travel, socialize but when it comes to financial investment, she depends on the male member of the family or sticks obdurately to the traditional instruments- FDs, PPFs & Saving accounts in the era of bedrock interest rates. When asked about the next choice of investment, they trust, brick & mortar despite the quantum of outflow, risk level, loan interests and cost of maintaining that asset. It is baffling why well-educated women lack confidence and interest in investing in equities. Is it emotional attachment to the hard earned money, which makes them risk averse or the stigma of uncertainty & complication associated with the equity market that causes repulsion. For age
