About 

I was born a simpleton. As a kid, I had simple desires – things that I hoped that I would have – a witch’s broom, flying carpet, the genie in the box and a prince charming who would come into my life.

Then I grew up. I started losing my simple desires. Life happened. I ended up in a god-forsaken place, Rourkela, far away from my home in Bangalore. Chemical Engineering was tough, I thought I would evaporate, I tried but I didn’t. Some good friends held me back. God bless them, only after he is done with me. I became a Chemical engineer but I was still wary of chemicals.

With all the chemistry gone awry, I came back home. Life seemed tricky, but I refused to run away. Okay, I tried to run away but I failed. So, I took refuge in astrology and even tried my hand at tarot cards. The equations failed to balance and I became complicated.

Then, life happened to me, well, for the second time. This time for good. Computers came into my life. I liked the fact that it worked just the way I asked it to. I fell in love. Soon, I became many things – graphic designer, trying programmer, sweet girl in the office, happening girl out of office, responsible daughter, loving sister, part time lover and a big time spend thrift. Okay, I paid the bills too.

So that’s been the story so far and – after several seasons, many moons and experiences that I often try and cherish – I am back to being a simpleton. The simple desires have come back. I think I will soon have wings, and I shall fly – like a little bird in a bright blue sky.
