Everybody Cheats-The End?
Everybody Cheats-The End? Yup!!You read it right folks, the title. Notice the Q mark at the end umm?? After those eleven chapters I am at a cross road here. This song came much later than Ms.Leo happened to Sid… “Tumko paya hai to jaise khoya hoonKehna chahoon bhi to tumse kya kahon”... It is true , it does seem I have lost or losing something yet ... more...

Everybody Cheats-XI
Everybody Cheats-XII dropped ‘her’ at her home. Drove back home. Dev called after he reached home , missing his flight to Chennai and asked me for lunch with my wife. Mukhi was a bit reluctant initially as on Sundays she wants to sort out the world’s problem around her and she always plans at least hundred errands and paper work on every Sunday. Bu... more...

Everybody Cheats-X
Everybody Cheats-X So easy? How easy is it to start or have an extra-marital affair? Am I falling into an extra-marital affair? So far, this was in books, movies, friends, friends of a friend, distant relatives… but this is me.. My life. Here I am with wife of my best friend, on our way to tread the untread, to do some thing which is generally unap... more...

Everybody Cheats-VIII
Everybody Cheats-VIII …Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from an... more...

Everybody Cheats-VI
Everybody Cheats-VI The call came when I was collecting her clothes from Sheila’s living room. My shrink.. Blah blah, how can I miss a fixed appointment, it’s so difficult to fit me this week. I was not listening; nothing was being registered from cell phone to my brain cells. Next day 11 am sharp she gave me time. Doc- Actually I scheduled some ps... more...

Everybody Cheats-V
Everybody Cheats-V  “Her” head lay on my stomach. Looking at the ceiling, I was having that heavenly cigarette ‘after’. She had long hair. Black. It was spread over my stomach and down wards. Till my knees. I am ticklish there, but never told her. Looked like a bucket of black paint poured over my lower body. She was holding her diary in one hand. ... more...

As a woman, I have been asked - what is it that you look for in a man?It is not an easy question to answer nor is it hard.  Do I go for the dashing looking man?  No - not at all - cause if we went out he would be stealing glances from other women and in turn he would be eyeing them and would have no time for me. Do I go for a moneyed man -  yes if ...  more...

Excerpt from 'The Notebook'
The reason it hurts so much to seperate is because our souls are connected. Maybe they always have been and will be.

That means that this goodbye is both a goodbye for the past ten thousand...  more...
