The empire we wish for!

She could see herself sitting infront of the mirror,all dressed up in red and pink.Her nose ring was about to fall any moment because of her heavy breathing.
There were uncountable number of people in the room,some were busy talking on random things,some about marriage and rest were looking at her,complimenting her about how beautiful she had been looking on the stage.Just 2 hours ago,she was on the dice with the varmala in her hands,she could not even walk because of the outfit she was wearing.With heavy eyelashes she looked at her groom and smiled,he was eagerly waiting for her,only for her since 5 years.They had to convince their parents,the society,everybody.However,convincing the ownself was left behind.They were smiling but their eyes said something else.With trembling hands she did put the garland into his neck and there was sound of clapping all over the stage.Back in the room, she could not only see herself in the mirror but also the desires,aspirations and a very different person whom she has probably taken the decision of leaving behind.Though,it was a love marriage she still had the fear of an 80's arranged marriage bahu.She wasn't afraid of her in-laws or the treatment they would give her but she had the fear of how her ownself would treat her after the marriage afterall she wasn't only leaving her parent's behind but also what she wished for and how she wished for. Yes, she loved the guy but she loved her dreams too.With this thought,she took an excuse with everyone went to her studytable,opened up the locked drawer and took out a sheet of paper which she had written months ago though she could not read it.But she could see her parents,her would be husband,and she knew they loved her immensely.However,eyes were struck on the sheet of paper which i had words on it about how badly she wanted sometime for herself.On that note, she took out another sheet of paper,wrote something on it,folded it and hid it inside her fist.Next,she was seen on the passage of corridor walking upto her fiancee's room.Somebody stopped her too,not bothered she continued to walk until she reached her room.Before knocking,she had all the thoughts of how she will ask him to choose between her right and left fist.And,if he chose the right hand,the wedding will be called off. No matter how filmy it sounded,in her head she was very serious about the situation.Taking a lot of oxygen inside her, she opened the door with heavy heart(whatever the case maybe she loved him),her eyes blinking in shock,she saw her love with someone else in that room and the garland of flowers was thrown on the floor,they were fighting over calling of the wedding.She was in a state of disbelief and didn't know how to react,soon the guy saw her and was now unable to speak.The bride looked at the other woman and signalled her the obvious question that was "What is going on? "
The woman replied "We have been good friends since 3 years now and i was asking him to call off the wedding becuase we love each other. "The bride went closer to the man and this time didn't ask him to choose but straight away gave him the chit......
                       and moved away.
For some reason specifically unknown,she was not anymore shivering or was unsure of her actions.Her actions are going to be the same but now she had a much more socially acceptable reason to give up on this day and walk away for what she always wanted to do.When she was 6,she had tied ghunghroo on her legs the first time and she never stopped herself after that,until this day.Now,she had a strong reason apart from her gut feeling to let go of this marriage and practice the art.Thinking all this,she was walking towards her father...
The groom however, was wanting to say a lot to her but could just open up the chit which said,
"Going to build an empire before buliding a baby.Sorry,calling off the marriage.Take care"

                                                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...

Meethi si Saheli

Rasgullo ki chaashni si, Dahi bhallo ki chatni si, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Bin baat ke hasne waali, Baat baat pe sisakne waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Angrezi me ladne wali, Dil ki baat maatrabhasha me karne waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Ghunghraale baalo me apne pal pal nakhun phasane waali, Hothon ke niche ke til par itraati ithlaane waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Shah Rukh Khan ki deewani wo, Mohobbatein si mohobbat karne waali, End Result me dhoka khake, Devdas si Dev banne waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Dibbe se Sheher me band, Sapne udaano ke bharne wali, Koshishe naakaam ho jaane par bhi, Saahas se ladne waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Practical me panne bharte hue khud ki yaad dilane waali, Exam room me zor zor se mera naam chillane waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. College ke baahar ki laiya chap chap karke khane waali, Ghar par Maggi utne hi pyaar se makkhan daalke banane waali, Meri ek meethi si Saheli.. Mujhe kuch ...
