Reasons for an arrange marriage for a girl (In India) in early/mid/late 30’s

This is my idea after doing an unofficial research between some friends and acquaintances. It may or may not be the real reason of the world, but this is what I understood. 
Also acquaintances from various income groups were questioned, and this was overall the result!




NOTE: 

This is not an official research, but done for fun sake. So please take it lightly!

If you don’t like the research, too bad! Go do your own research!

Harry Potter & the Cursed Child – My Review



Even though the cover clearly states that it’s a play by J. K. Rowling, Jack Thorne, and John Tiffany; just like millions of other fan boys & fan girls I thought I’d get a book off which a play has been made.

ALAS!!!!! That was not true! After I had filled my mug with coffee and opened a bag of chips to accompany me with my newly received book in the mail, I opened the first page to a script!!! Can you believe it...? A GODDAMNED SCRIPT!!!!!

However, as I gulped my first disappointment with a mouthful of coffee, I proceeded on and stumbled on to my second & biggest disappointment... this was not written by J K Rowling at all... It seemed like the play has been written by 2 great playwrights and J K Rowling let them borrow her name. 

In my past, I’ve read enough fan fictions of Harry Potter to understand that this is just like those well written but not original books.

I am disappointed because of the following;
  • I thought it would be a book when it is a play script (my mistake)
  • The book is more of a fan fiction than a continuation of actual Harry Potter series (their mistake).



My verdict – A good book if you consider it to be any other random witch/wizard novel or play; but pretty much sad if you wanted more of Harry Potter magic.

Villains with a Heart


These villains have tormented the world and the protagonists have gone through trials & tribulations to vanquish these guys. However, do we know that these so called villains or bad guys also had a heart? May be they were misunderstood... may be injustice was dished out to them... that we may never know... but what we do know that these 5 guys were all hearts and we got them wrong!

Voldermort believed in Harry’s education; he always attacked just before the holidays or at the end of the school year.









The Joker only wanted to earn some money and share some jokes. Too bad that people did not get his jokes and labeled him as an evil clown with a broken psyche.










Gabbar Singh was an art appreciating person.  Why else would he ask Basanti to dance for his men? He also appreciated folk dance & music because he seemed elated & appreciative of the performance of “Mehbooba” by the gypsies.




Shakaal was an animal lover! He believed that no matter what, his pet sharks should not be devoid of food! So he brought in food for those lil guys. We really cannot help if the itsy bitsy Sharkey’s favorite food is people.






Agent Smith was just an evolving program doing his job of stopping any loose cannons. It is Neo’s fault actually that he has to go and revolt against the Matrix; but we all know who was termed as the ‘villain’.









If you have an open mind, you’d find more of these guys. All I am saying is… the villains might not be all bad, they may have a heart or a wish or two (just like the next person)… try to look at it from their point of view once in a while!

Is it just me?




Hello again my dear friends!!! Hope you are well! I am well too, Thank you for asking. Now getting on with today’s writing, are you ready? Well... hoping you said yes... here we go!

Today we talk about my dreams… again! The reason why I re-visit this same topic often because I think my dreams are just getting weirder by the nights. I wonder is it just me or do you, my dear friends, have such weird dreams? Do answer below... but only after you've read mine!

The other day I was suffering from a severe migraine, so I popped a pill and slept through the entire day, and I had dreams. They were like short stories and not a novel of a dream.

One such short dream was where my long deceased grandpa (who had a bad leg after an accident at a ripe old age of 70) comes galloping towards me on a giant horse and tells me to make fondue. That was it, the end of my dream sequence 1.

Dream sequence 2 – One of my age old crush, with whom I have no contact what so ever (not even fb stalking happens), dumps a boat load of books in front of me and tells me to read Kafka!!! Dream dissolves as I wake up with Ole fart on my face.

Dream sequence 3 – My husband is cooking prawns for me. What is so weird in this dream you may say... well I hate prawns and HE DOES NOT COOK!!!

Then there were few more that I cannot remember… but seriously guys... is it just me or do you guys also get weird dreams??
