By the Water Cooler !!

Parul from Brining up Adi and now renamed as Radio Parul is all set to launch her second book ” By the water cooler” . If you read her first book”Bringing up Vasu” you would surely know what a laughter riot she created in her first attempt and I am eagerly looking forward to her second book now.

So here is my entry for contest

 When I did my grad..mobiles were not so common so I am not in much touch with my college pals…Its must later I foudn them again on Orkut/FB. For me office is always a place which I can say “Home away from home”..I have such wonderful frens there that I never miss my home in early days when I was in south India (hyd)..and later when I came back to Delhi , found new frens in team members and other ppl on floor. i remember when I spent hours searching for saree to wear in office on ethnic wear day, It was same feeling which I got in college on any occasion.

I m working in same company from last 4.5yrs so you can imagine my attachment to my office. Its like I grow in this office. I got engage, married and later have baby too…and there is so much similarity in my 4best frens at office..We all got married in same yr..have baby also in same  yr..and now enjoy discussion each and every thing abt our babies :-) ..when I got engaged.I once said to my frens that ” why always women have to sacrifice..why not man leave their  house and come and stay with woman’s family” ……Its been 3yrs into marriage and still my frens tease me with word sacrifice :lol: lol:

I go to office once in week/10days…..and its like going for picnic for me..I enjoy dressing up for office, meeting frens, getting all gossip of  last 10days….short coffee brks, pizza parties and evening walks in office lawn :-)

Please Mom :-(

Fiction ->

Ah it look so good to stay here in mom’s tummy…I m sure mom and dad must be too happy to have me in their lives..this place look so comfy.. I m so excited..after 9 months i will be out to play with my elder sis… thank you god for giving me chance to come in this family…. mom cook so yummy food..i can enjoy all inside.and dad’s jokes and short fights with mom  :lol: :lol:

but what is this why both mom and dad looking so serious after doc handed over mom’s ultrasound report..Is it something not ok…I feel quite happy inside so whats the issue.. 

Dad is calling grandparents ..let me try to hear…

Dad – Its again same..i dont want one more in my house..first one is already burden on me..Have i got married to get liabilities in my life

Me  thinking- What they are talking..why i m nt able to understand…….its ok why shd worry..they are parents.whatever they must be thinking..it will be for my benefit only..Afterall parents are next to god. Mom look more tensed now..Oh mommy i luv u so much …plz tell me what happnd..

Dad to mom – I have taken tomm’s  appointment.get ready by 9 …

me – look like mom dad are going out…wow… :-)

Whats this …why i m feeling so much pain..what this doc is doing with me…Oh mom i m feeling scared..please hold me in your arms…mom plz hug me….please lift me up..Mom Dad…i m part of you…why you are not coming to save me..Plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz I want to see this world..i want to enjoy my life with you.. nooooooooooooooo…..

This is girl fetus  talking to herself when her parent decided to get rid of her as they dont want girl second child.  When this will be stopped…abortion based on gender. It boils my anger more when i see educated ppl doing this. Wish our society takes girl child as pride and not liability.

This is my entry for Indus Ladies contest
