Best friend's bday..

Its 12'o clock and she has been waiting for his call.Now its 3:30,still no luck,she was fuming in anger of his irresponsible behavior,how could he?
It was her bday and he didnt wish her. In the morning,the family decided to go to the beach nearby.There was sea,toys,balloons,lots of crowd, food and a lot of other things.But what she missed was just a call from someone,someone special.
She could recollect how be had sent her a cake, gifts and cards on her birthday the previous year and this time there was not even a phone call!
Tears started to crept into her eyes,she missed him badly,or maybe just his voice. She didn't knew.
Finally,11:30 at night she decided to go by herself and visit him.
She booked a cab and typed the location as "Singhania Hospital"!
Now,she was sitting beside a coma patient who is struggling to live.She held his hands and said sorry for being so angry with him,she told him that she wanted him to Wish her the earliest.She wanted him to get a cake,she would blew up the candles and they would celebrate...just like the last year.
But today, her best friend was bed ridden,that too a hospital bed.
Though it was her 17th bday, but the accident 5 weeks ago made her an adult.
All through the night she could only remember him talk and how they fought for last bite of pizza.
Tomorrow,they were removing him from ventilator and they did.
She could feel her hands empty without his,not even his face to look at now..everybody mourning around her,and she was contemplating with the question-Was this her bday gift?Who would call her up at midnight? And was she not supposed to eat cakes from now on?

                                                Pani Puri  On a Wednesday evening i went with my husband to have pani puri, i wasn't much in the mood to have it but the husband wanted to and as he says i am the sarthi to him. We drove off in our WagonR and reached about 5 km away from our place near Birhana Road to have pani puri...oh so delicious pani puri, as my husband would call it. Now as I told you already I was in no mood to have it but I accompanied my husband so as I was standing near the thela of the gorgeous looking Pani Puri instantly my eyes went onto the gigantic hoarding of the marvellous Sonam Kapoor hoarding a necklace worth of crores and beneath that was a women standing in shattered clothes holding her frail daughter. There were at least 10 people gathered near the thela and eating the oh-so-lip-smacking puris but no one cared about that poor mo...

Chetan Bhagat To Local Train.

Before starting to blog,a very important question that demands an answer is,Who Am I?.To start off,my name is Pankhuri Nigam hailing from Kanpur,Uttar Pradesh.Have done a decent amount of education and still doing it.. Well,I was in Mumbai for the year,2017.The city of dreams,the city of wishes.Honestly Speaking,it taught me a lot..i have heard it never sleeps..witnessed it too..things that signify Mumbai are Local trains and Rains,Believe you me,you get your half of the stories either in trains or rains. Or sometimes..both. And very recently While travelling from Kandivali to Dadar i discovered that maybe i could write!,So i got down into Dadar purchased a very classy diary which says "Everyday is an Adventure" Pretty fancy,right? Just by looking at this diary,i felt as if Chetan Bhagat had entered into my body. Yes,imagination ka level!! So,the very night i sit down to write something it was 10:15pm,half an hour later the page was still blank and the eyes...

The Muscles in Disguise.

As a doctor, she had to deal with a varied variety of homo sapiens. Some ill, some terminally ill and rest of them who treated it as a reward of their daily morning walks from their house to the clinic. In the practice of 8 years, Dr. Sonal Jha had seen impeccable people around her and was very much ‘not too shocked ‘ with any kind of adversities her patients exhibit now. Until one day, she sees a man, a big man with a height of 6’2, well built broad structure and biceps nearly equivalent to the doctors meek thighs. He had an old and frail-looking lady in his arms and was very hastily walking towards Jha. Her heart skipped a beat for a second. Na..na..not love, just horror. She was overwhelmed by his speed. The next moment, he entered the clinic said a hie and asked for permission if he should lay her ailing mother to the bed behind the doctor’s chair. To which Jha shyly nodded. She checked on the old woman, was back to her seat and signalled the boys associated for the work t...
