Adjustment's : a daily part of our life


“Adjust” this is one word that ever Indian relates to. When a kid is born in an Indian family one thing the parents will for sure teach the kid is "beta adjust kar lo" When my parents told me this I never knew that this word would become a part of my FOREVER.... Be it as a kid when we where taught things which didn't make sense (ps: the sun rises in the east and set in the west..duh the sun never sets but things were different when we where kid's) Be it the hot summer afternoon's when going to school in that much heat was an achievement, each day when we have to breathe all kinds of unhealthy gases that cars release, day’s where for a single ticket you have to stand for hour's in huge Que ,day's where you are nothing but surprised when the local  train's are on time ... All these years each day we have all done one thing daily and that is ADJUST..people in India adjust with everything be it when people with influence get their work done faster in a government office or at times when you have scored high percentage still you can't get admission in a particular college cause someone else is given preference cause he belongs to the student quota for that college. If you ask me which adjustment I like the most it has to be adjusting oneself on the fourth seat of the local train which technically is made for just three people but what to do "this much at least we should adjust"  .Frankly speaking NO I wouldn't want the further generation to be like us,people who are willing to adjust even when they know its wrong. I want a generation that can question every wrong thing and stand for their rights who can realize Adjustment is a choice and not a Compulsion. People say India is a developing country and yes indeed it is but are we all walking on the path of development is a question we should ask our self and work together for building an adjustment free India.

Airport Romance- Chapter 9

“Hi Richard.” “Hi Kim, so much for being busy. I know you were hosting a lunch, but how hard is to pick and say I am busy.” “I am so sorry Richard,I am still not used to having a cellphone and I totally forgot that it wasn’t on me and like a stupid person I was wondering why you haven’t called yet?” “I will forgive you after all you were waiting for my call .” “So?” “So?” “Come on Richard, how was the food?” “Oh the food, Sorry I haven’t tried it yet.” “Don’t be silly. I am sure you must be swamped with work.” “Totally, this workshop is super tiring, but it has got me so excited to be back and get things going and Sarah got this amazing salad from this organic farmers market down the road and it was to die for, you should come try it someday.” “ I would love too, Richard there is someone at the door I need to go.” “I can stay on the line, I want to tell you all about the workshop and Sarah my co-star.” “Sounds exciting, I haven’t been  so excited about any...

Airport Romance- Chapter Five

It has been a whole day since I am back home and I haven’t managed to do anything productive, forget productive I haven’t left my bed yet.  “Hey boss, how was your vacation?” saying this Karl has entered my room. Karl I think is one person who I love and hate the most at the same time. Karl is a childhood friend turned manager who hates when I take vacation, but here he is pretended to show interest in my travel stories. “For one don’t call me boss, I officially hate that word and two get out of here I am in no mood to do any work today or for a few days to come.” “Boss? what is wrong with boss now?

Airport Romance - Chapter four

Chapter Three:  https://rubinac.blogspot.com/2018/03/airport-romance-chapter-three.html They say you know a person better when you travel with them and I couldn’t agree more.So on this four hour not so smooth flight from Barra to London Heathrow I have learnt these things about Kim, she is super polite with everyone, she loves to flash that big smile of hers  too everyone who passes by her which makes the other person smile too.  She could talk to anyone and everyone with no hesitation, but not the small talks kind. She is one of  those people who talks to you and the next minute you are discussing your life stories with them, those too noisy people that I personally couldn’t  ever stand, but as you know already this one is different, with her everything makes sense.  As we land at London Heathrow,  the feeling that I never left has started to settle in, the same hustle, people rushing to catch their flights and a few turned heads, yes still ...
