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.

When I dream

When I first dreamed big,
I dreamed of a job,
A job so challenging,
Challenging my limits,
Limits with no boundaries,
And boundaries which do not shape me!

The day I realized what is journalism,
Journalism caught on to me like a child.
A child who has just started to recognize faces,
Faces that are new and unknown.
Little known that unknown are much closer than the known.
Known are the ones who mould you.

Times changed but not my dream.
Dream for a change became a reality,
A reality I waited to live
Live a life of Challenges, competition and fear
Fear of loss, fear of failure.
Failure overpowered the fear of death
Death became a routine
Routine of rape, murder, betrayel and theft
A silent theft of a life
A life of respect and values
Values made way for a life never dreamed of.

Every dream has an end
An end with nothing to look ahead
Ahead is  just a route
A route of deviation
Deviations left you with a hope
A hope of living your dream
A dream yet again
Again at the same place where you started the story
A story which always has something from the past
A past with lot of memories and lessons
Lessons learnt to be yourself

Today I want to be a free spirit
Spirit which has no form but just life
Life that has no rules no promises
Promises are really not meant to be broken
Broken promises make way for stronger spirits
A spirit to live, love, survive and dream till you reach!
