Hi Thanks you guys
What if love comes calling.......
Commented on Aarini's review
Definitely an RoTD from me for the beautiful piece.
If you find yourself in love with someone who does not love you, be gentle with yourself. There is nothing wrong with you. Love just didn’t choose to rest in the other person’s heart. If you find someone else in love with you and you don’t love him/her, feel honoured that love came and called at yo read more...

Congrats for the ROTD. This is always a sad situation. Hyderabadi Biryani in Delhi has nothing Hyderabadi about it; Amritsari fish tikka is a sad fish from the Yamuna; Bong dishes are mixed with Paneer! and heaven forbid, I even saw an omlette dosa being advertised.

Way to go Meghna. You may yet become a great success. Guys who plan all the time sometimes get entangled in the small details and loose the big picture. By the way, were you in the CGW team :). Everything happened at the last moment and went quite well too. Bye and keep smiling.

Child Labour
The two photographs attached to this diary show a very familiar and unremarkable scene of Delhi.

Congrats for FP Can sympathise with you. I too hate mehandi but not for the same reason as yours. My 7 yr old son hates mehandi and does not let his mother (my best half) cook when she has mehandi in her hair or hands. So the cooking is done by me on that day - the problem is, I have to eat it too.

Spineless Netas Hi Deepak, Your angst is shared by all us 'common wealth giving' tax payers.
