# 10 Cup

The family that eats, sleeps & prays together; stays together. 

An old saying probably it is from ancient christian times. The quote sends a very strong emotional message. Well it says, despite the differences in every individual, a consistently followed routine can build a strong team, a family or a community. It is like everyone is ready to leave out their differences and come forward together for a common cause, a vision or a goal.

The saying can do justice to any group of people who doesn't share the same DNA. The statement states, a routine followed by all the players in the team for a was structured or it should have happened the other way around. Anyway, it is good to practice.
common ground on why it is being followed. For the practice of peace and harmony in the family, during old times, people gather and sit for a meal. Maybe this is how the proverb

And this quote, kept humming in my mind during my trip to “Neverland”. Just like the Peter Pan, I was excited and terrified same time. It was so funny when I felt butterflies like a kid to meet new faces. Brings back my school memories, stepping into a new classroom. The greetings became “Quick Quiz” in matching the voices with the faces. In a matter of minutes, I found this gang is entirely different to my imagination about them; except for the kindness they showed.

Just like the ironic facts, the quiet ones in the calls were the loudest in person. The talkative voices remained invisible in entire trip. Nevertheless, their shared unity is notable. I barely spoke to everybody other than common phrases like, “Could you pass the water bottle?” “When is the breakfast, lunch or dinner?” (I like to eat you see). They were quite a group already, but being an entirely different wavelength person, I did not feel like an alien in the gang. This sends a message, “Being ordinary is the new classic” A team of very ordinary people creating things that are brilliant. Man! How cool it is to just even think about it? 


They proved to be the most humble geeks I have ever met (Well only in earth, because Martians are more clever). Putting arms around each other for protecting, supporting and even for pulling legs seems the fun part. The thought of making a colleague’s birthday as an office party is the sweetest thing and the whole gang is coping up in keeping it as a surprise to him is impressive. And like the bugs we create, there were downsides like when we walked all the way in a wrong direction for a while, played the “Mafia” game with limited fun and the religious strike we experienced; all remained yet adventurous and definitely goes to my memory book.


Oh, yes, there is a strong girl power in the gang and constantly putting the boys down. Yet, kudos to you guys, you are all awesome withstanding and giving it back without mercy (so much fun with this playful rivalries)

From my personal perception (no offense), the MNC office trips I have taken in my career truly sucks. And I believed an office trip will never be fun packed. Well, I have to change my opinion now. This trip remained as a best part of my travel diaries and I am grateful that it happened at the most needed time of my life. I discovered myself, the lost bird was able to identify its wings and ready to step on to the road.
A trip not to be forgotten

#08 Cup

Sun did not rise. Yet she woke up and wondered why did the morning come so fast, why do I have to start so early the day, she rushed to check the mobile, unlocking the phone by swiping the pattern,  she left a sigh,. Her mind was telling, "No messages no missed calls; everybody is fine in home" Yet the mind did not calm down neither did the heart. "Why is this happening always?"  wondered her mind, and she starred the sky through the window. It is not still morning, not in Mexico. Stars shone, the sky was dark, but it is 5 in the morning. "How much difference can time make? I am having a dark night sky while it is morning and mother in India would have a bright late afternoon sky" her thoughts just went after looking at the sky. She rolled over to get back to sleep, but the heart and mind wouldn't let her. She has never had this feel for a long time. The thumping sound in the heart made her to feel scared. And the thoughts were rushing lik...

#09 Cup

Possessive.  I chose this word, also gave a good amount of time on my decision. The person behind this word will remain a mystery. Although, one can guess it from my article, if you have a keen eye for detail.  Were you possessive at any point in your life? I was, but not if it could kill somebody. I think everybody opened that door at least once and gave an excuse to our behaviour, justified the action with the word love. Love has nothing to do with possessiveness or vice versa. They define it in Oxford, as, demanding someone’s total attention or love, while Wikipedia gives a specific meaning to withhold my perception, i.e., strict ownership. Strict Ownership, the term points to a person’s dominant behaviour. Possessiveness is the word chosen by this dominant predators to wear as blanket since it says, “in too much of love”. I agree, because too much of anything could kill you, and so does possessiveness kills the “love”. It all starts with good intention...

I Don't Love You Anymore

It is not because I have chosen someone over you, not because I got bored of you, not because I ran out of love. It is because I have chosen my dignity over you, my self respect over you, my happiness over you. It is because I got tired of the fake promises. I got tired of not telling stuffs and keeping it into heart. I was there sacrificing things at the beginning, when it isn't acknowledged,  yet I did them to a great extent, never worried about the fact that I am being dragged down to a level, lower to my integrity. I simply chose to make me as the most important person in the world. If that world gives me a name "Selfish'' , I am not worried as long as I am happy without hurting a soul, I will be glad that I chose to love me.  It is a simple lie, until you decide to make it complicate. Lie lives everywhere, in every word you utter, in every action you do and in every promise you make. Does it has to be a lie every single time?  Who is telling you not to love...
