Since then I have, unfortunately, witnessed one more death in the family and several others in the extended family and friend circle.

My first job, a summer affair, was as a sales executive for Times of India. The task was to accompany newspaper boys/men on their routes in the narrow lanes of Patel Nagar, Ranjit Nagar and Baljit Nagar, (areas in West Delhi with a heavy Punjabi population) http://priyankas-point.blogspot.com/2022/07/the-psychology-of-sellingmy-takeaways.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Priyanka Khot)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25721020.post-5773173846887504959Mon, 20 Jan 2020 16:16:00 +00002020-01-20T21:55:28.104+05:30engagement 2020Tear droptrishavikrantFor Sachin!      <!--[if gte mso 9]> http://priyankas-point.blogspot.com/2014/03/happy-place.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Priyanka Khot)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25721020.post-5938451503971684024Sun, 19 Jan 2014 18:40:00 +00002014-04-27T07:54:01.403+05:30How she met himHow She met Him While waiting for Him, She read in a book She had picked up, ‘Every broken relationship turns into a story.’ This should have been the first sign. She was too busy laughing and chatting as Delhi glowed in the golden glow of the winter sun to notice any signs. They had met for lunch. Her eyes had widened when He had said, ‘Eating is a waste of time.’ Her first reaction was to scan the room for http://priyankas-point.blogspot.com/2014/01/how-she-met-him.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Priyanka Khot)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25721020.post-1808331157679406941Thu, 02 Jan 2014 16:57:00 +00002014-04-27T08:00:22.865+05:30FriendsGokarnaTravelThe end is near The day had to come. I knew it even when I was planning the trip three months ago and even when I was packing my bags 15 days ago. This day had to come—the last day of the vacation. So we survived the night quite peacefully. SKT and Frooti slept early as usual. I, as usual, was up. I saw Ponyo, a movie recommended by Sweater. I will trust Sweater’s choice even more now.

However, people who would fall in this category would be wrong. We began the day with a Bigg Boss experience. There was an early-morning eviction and we were asked to vacate our room by 6:30 am. We packed our bags, got ready, and then slept till 7:40 am. That’s when the caretaker came to ask us to leave the room http://priyankas-point.blogspot.com/2014/01/interesting-times.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Priyanka Khot)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25721020.post-4682032694516593545Tue, 31 Dec 2013 18:36:00 +00002014-01-01T15:36:03.317+05:30first-time adventuresFriendsGoaHappy New YearAn exciting end to 2013 Before today, I never understood what the quote, ‘live like it’s your last day’ meant. However, if someone was to ask me tomorrow, I would tell them I have lived a day as if it was my last. The fact that it coincided with the last day of the year is just a coincidence. SKT, who is now travelling with me, has put a lot of pressure on me.

Last night’s journey was no different. I got a seat in a half-sleeper-half-seating bus. More than one-third of the bus-seats were converted into sleepers. I, fortunately, had the good sense to book a seating seat. In the sleeper seats two people lay down with each other. Now this business of sharing seats was fine till the time you http://priyankas-point.blogspot.com/2013/12/journey-is-as-important-as-destination.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Priyanka Khot)1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25721020.post-4362693386377129985Sun, 29 Dec 2013 11:06:00 +00002013-12-29T16:36:58.891+05:30Friendshampisolo tripyearly reviewAnd on Sunday, she rested The last five days of running around in the sun and having fun have taken a toll on me. As is a holiday ritual with me, I was badly sunburnt. So today, I decided to celebrate Sunday in a haze of Avil induced sleep. Since you have vicariously enjoyed my holiday, I think it is only fair that you get a dose of details of my sunburnt, itchy skin! I am kind and generous like that.

The day began early, very early. I went to see the sunrise at, wait for it, sunrise point. Santosh had told me to be ready by 5:15 am. I, being me, was up at 4:30 am and ready by 5 am. It was pitch black and windy and cold when we left the warmth of the hotel. The 2 kilometer drive to the sunrise point was one of the longest drives of this trip.
