Meet my parents
Enjoy same night time with my friends

It just remind me of a mail msg :

Celebration means……
A winter evening.
Four friends.
One barsaat.
Four glasses of chai.

Celebration means……
Maggi noodles.
A hostel room.
4.25 a.m.

Celebration means……
3 old friends.
3 separate cities.
3 coffee mugs.
1 internet messenger.

Celebration means……
You and mom.
A summer night.
A bottle of coconut oil.
A head massage.
Gossiping about absent family members.

Keep in touch with your loved ones ………

Excellent post Archana! The best I have seen here.

“I do like to have a short term onsite job, but not more than 6 months for sure!! ” –
100% true. Unles you move of your comfort zone, movie out of your home, you’ll never know the true value!
