About Me

My photo
A 26 year old average Indian girl: the girl next door types. I have nothing extraordinary to differentiate me in the crowd but my job profile does grab some attention. Been an average student till my 12th and wished to be a Vet Doctor because I love the four legged more than the two legged, but the rat race took my toll. Did BSc in Biotechnology and managed to wear those Doctor’s coat, but tasted failure for the first time when flunked in Chemistry. Failure made me realize the mystery of my destiny and sowed a dream of journalism. A pointless journey saw its first point in journey and the dream sprouted as a crime reporter. After topping College kept jumping companies till I became a crime reporter (the blossomed dream). Destiny was kind and in Indian Express Bangalore, my dream bloomed and became a crime reporter within eight months of work. Three years later my name is counted among the few good crime reporters of Bangalore, which was a dream sown five years back. But ugly side of success has placed me where failure had placed me once. In a dream job but in search of a new dream, I write to be heard and to be told. I sow a dream eagerly wait to know what I would reap.

Had that been the law


As everything is going back in time whether it’s the fashion, education system or yogic healing, I think even the law should go behind time and not forward.

I am an average Indian girl, who is independent, strong minded, career oriented and moreover single at 26. I possess all the qualities a father and a brother expect in their daughter and sister, but not in their spouse.

I can’t say if I am single by choice or by force. I am single by choice because, I never looked out for prospective boyfriends around me when I was at the peak of my youth. And I am single by force because, no guy really dared to propose me or even impress me.

Today, although I have been enrolled in every matrimonial site, I am single. Thanks to my qualification and the field of my choice where I work. Even when someone shows interest, my folks reject because he either fails to match my qualification or my looks.

Coming back to the topic of going back in time, I think child marriage should be made legal because you will marry the man even before he becomes “a man”.

Looks don’t matter, as every child looks cute when young, career is not an option as he is still in school, bank balance is not a criteria as the boy’s father is screened and not the boy and fidelity would be rare, I assume.

Seriously, had the old laws been implemented, I am sure I would have been happily married by now. As I was quite cute and lean when I was a child, not too good in studies, not too strong minded but meek. Even today if I upload my details rewinding 15 years of my age, I am sure to be loaded with 100 times the proposals than today.


Had that been the law, people wouldn’t have sympathized my singleton

Had that been the law, my extra weight wouldn’t have been a problem.

Had that been the law, I wouldn’t have garnered many dreams

Had that been the law, career and money wouldn’t have mattered

Had that been the law…..Had that been the law

Had that been the law…. I would be like you and not like me…:) :) :)


Please Note : For all those people who feel sorry for me that I am single... I would like to say that I feel sorry for them who want to go back in time.... while I choose to move ahead.
