		<title>The lunch that wasnt</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend called me for lunch yesterday. It was some holiday so it was also a wednesday off from work. I had no plans and was looking forward to a day of pleasant nothingness.

		<title>Dear Karuna</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
You were my favourite senior in college. I thought you were the coolest girl ever who was so nice to everyone around you. I admired everything about you, be it your linguist skills or your absolutely gorgeous smile.

		<title>While we celebrate diwali</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my friends wondered - as to why the festival of light is confused with the festival of sound. I agree wholeheartedly with him.

		<title>Disadvantage in my car</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My one year old Blaupunkt Maui CD player went kaput. CD Error, it kept displaying. All this while, I kept thinking - perhaps those cheap CDs were the reason.

		<title>People can think what they want</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was at the bank sometime back and had nothing to do other than listen in on a most personal conversation between two women, well&#8230; due to lack of having anything else to do.

		<title>We were on a break</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had eleven days off from work, thanks to puja vacations. I decided not to grow roots at home and travel with friends instead. And that is how we headed off into the sunrise, since we started early morning at 7 am.
