Deepa's Kaleidoscope

In the blink of an eye

Elated to announce that this post won the Gold Batom at the October 2012 BAT 32! This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 32 ; the thirty-second edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . The theme for the month is 'An Untold Story' “Your name?” “Yogesh Kamlakar” “Address? Phone number? Given to Constable Kadam?” “Mmm.. Yes Sir, I don’t want any trouble Sir”. “What did you see? State it clearly.” “He was speeding Sir. On his bike. Didn’t stop at the signal. Swerved. Got onto the footpath, hit the man. They started fighting Sir. That man tried to interrupt but .. ” He says, pointing to the injured man being tended to by medical personnel in the ambulance. “Who took out the hockey stick?” “I don’t know Sir.” “If I find out you are lying, I’ll come after you.

10 Reasons Why I Didn't Post

Copyright: www.simplifiedblogging.com The latest post on my blog is dated May 2. It’s been three weeks since I posted anything. Two weeks back, I thought of writing on a particular topic.

I know it is so easy to simply use the block as an excuse but scripting a word and then following it up with another and yet another seemed like a Herculean task!

Six Degrees of Separation

My first cousin’s husband turned out to be my really good friend’s wife’s cousin. A lady I met at a friend’s place turned out to be my ex-manager’s wife. This same ex-manager turned out to be my current colleague’s volleyball team-mate. A good friend from Junior College turned out to be my Mom’s distant relation’s son. My roomate’s husband and a friend of both me and my roommate, turned out to be related. This friend’s wife turned out to be my friend’s relative. My ex-boss’ wife turned out to be my batchmate from our initial training days at work. My friend A’s wife turned out to be my friend B’s good friend. My friend from college and my work acquaintance met later, through an online matrimonial site! A competing team’s member in my husband’s cricket team turned out to be my old work project’s batchmate. Don’t such realizations fascinate you? A reality show contestant turns out to be someone from your childhood playgroup? Your friend’s spouse turns out to be your ...
