He Sold Love for Rs 500 - Part 3

He Sold Love for Rs 500 - Part 1 He Sold Love for Rs 500 - Part 2 Great huh? I was in a relationship with the man I had been crushing on for 3 years; he is in love with me; and here I was thinking how things are wrong. I’m impossible, I know. The phone had been buzzing continuously; it was elevating my headache. I put my glass of wine down. It was him.  “Yes?” “Baby, where are you? I’ve called you so many times. You weren’t picking up. I’m outside. I’ve been here for the past hour. Are you alright?” Wow, did he just say that in one go, did he even stop for breathing?, I thought.  “I’m just……I just want to be alone right now. Okay? I’m sorry. I’ll talk to you tomorrow?” “You’ve been behaving different since that office retreat.” “What? No. Look, let’s talk tomorrow.” “I know you’re upset with me. I don’t know why, but you are” “No” I sighed. “Let me make everything alright.” “How?” “You’ll see. Tomorrow night, dinner”  My head was throbbing. “Alri

A Weekend in Singapore

I got this box of chocolates, when I was a kid; a souvenir from Singapore. The chocolates came in the shapes of a half lion half fish creature. Other than the taste, which was amazing, of course, I was fascinated by the shape of the chocolate. Apparently, it’s called a Merlion. I was not only curious about the creature but the place that believed in it.  Luckily, for me, I got to visit the Merlion for real. Not real, real, but you get it. It won’t take you more than a weekend to visit the whole of Singapore; literally. I’m not even kidding. It is 42 km if you drive from East to West. I did not know much about Singapore until now, except that it is one of the most expensive places in Asia.  Singapore has a small population of only 6 million people, given its size. You’ll find that most of the population here is Chinese, with one third being Indians and Malay and then, there are some Jews, Caucasians, Arabs, and foreigners, basically a melting pot, but a melting pot that

To The One I Love The Most

I cannot think of a better day than today, to write this to you. It is the 6 th of October, and who can I turn to but the one who brought me in this world, on this very day? I probably don’t say this enough, but thank you; thank you for everything. Then again, no amount of thank yous could ever justify your deeds. But I’m going to try anyway. To my bestest friend, who has listened to all my rambling, my nonsense talks, my made up stories, to the best sleepovers, thank you! Thank you for the snuggliest tuck ins into bed that you gave me. Thank you for fixing my hair before school every single day. Thank you for having my back always, when I was teased a little too much at home. Thank you for the tastiest dishes you’ve made for me.  Thank you for being my shopping partner. Thank you for being my ultimate photographer. Thank you for looking after me when I was sick. Thank you for the days when you knew just how to cheer me up on my lowest points. Thank you fo
