Are heroes characters that save the regular people from evil influences or so they attempt to break all conventional themes? I hear an...

Saturday, June 13, 2009. U never know u leave memories and aspects of yoursef with people you've interacted with.till u get this .even in tough times. If you can keep your head when all about you. Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,. If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you. But make allowance for their doubting too,. If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,. Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,. Or being hated, don't give way to hating,. If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster.

Monday, March 16, 2009. The chemist salesperson looked at me strangely when I asked him for a small size diaper pack and home pregnancy test in the same breath.".

Monday, September 26, 2011. And then I understand why grandparents always had ridiculous attachments’ to houses- coz they were filled with memories. Each corner of the house is reminiscent of some emotion. Bathrooms – anger! And how the house grew bigger as the children came into our lives and then too tiny to accommodate us all. Where will the bats and the skates go? Don’t play football in the lobby…where will the kids sleep when guests are around? I need a shoe cupboard for my daughter and me . Everyth...

Dard e Disco: Its a Woman's World...If you Insist
http://bhavnachopra.blogspot.com/2010/09/its-womans-worldif-you-insist.html
Friday, September 24, 2010. Its a Woman's World.If you Insist. We finish the meeting and I need a loo, I have a long drive ahead. It takes me 15 minutes to find one. It reminds me of my Granddad’s loo 30 years ago and I swear it had a chain! Will the ‘Oh she is a woman’ tag always be a liability in the conference room? Or is it something that I must always work with and need to go the extra mile. Can she and I ever free ourselves of our gender and march onwards. Or is it a fine line? Or is it a myth?
