Its been months since I blogged. And it would have been longer if it wasn’t this little update in my Facebook stream. And from the blogger who blogs multiple times a day (I think!). Thank you, Jack, you are the best!

One of my all time favorite resolutions is reducing the crap I have around me. Or better, not getting more crap. A lot of people tell me that I am a miser and that I think too much before buying but then, I really don’t care what they say.

On the morning of 17th December 2012, I woke up to news of a horrendous crime done yet again. A rape case in Delhi. I have lived in the city for a year, studied there, worked there and a lot of people have telling me to write about it on my blog. So finally, I do it. Just hours after the victim breathed her last.

How long has it been? Over a month? No, but close!

I just un-friended around 40 people on Facebook.
What started this? I logged into FB after five days (gasp!) and saw almost – nude pictures of a baby on the stream. I don’t get it. And anyone sharing nude pictures of their own baby, on a public platform, is just weird in my books.

I was meaning to write this for some time now.

A Monster Under the Bed or On It?
| October 4, 2012 | Posted by Hajra under Children |
As a kid I was terrified of monsters – under my bed, in my room. I always thought they would come eat me up and swallow me whole! I remember knocking on my parents’ door at midnight and snuggling close to them because the “monsters in my room won’t go”. When I grew up, I…

Speaking the Expat Language; a Family Drama
| September 8, 2012 | Posted by Hajra under expat, Languages, World |
Most of you here know that I have lived most of my life in a foreign country – lived the life of an expat. I live in UAE, but I am originally from India. I was born in India, but moved to the UAE when I was 5. Shifted back to India for higher studies and came back to the UAE after seven years of education and work.
