		<description><![CDATA[A COUPLE of weeks back a close friend from Mumbai popped down to Delhi for a work trip. Right off the bat I noticed she wasn’t sporting her pristine white Hijab; she donned it some years back as an experiment, felt comfy wearing it. It was here to stay. Or so we thought.

		<description><![CDATA[I set out on a one-day trek to Triund, and guess what? I aborted the mission halfway, and suddenly remembered why I suck, at treks. 
The UV rays of the sun beat down wildly, through the ozone layer, and bored into the skin on my face and arms. This cool weather is deceptive, making me [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Class 8, I wanted to order a copy of Dirty Dancing from the local video library (VCR format!). My mother who paid the video tab did not approve; the title was suggestive, and not appropriate for a 13-year old. But to give her credit, she did not deny me the movie. She  screened it, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I finally watched Gone With The Wind, once again after more than a decade. I spent many waking hours devouring the book during my school days, in the quiet confines of the one and only loo at our flat in Darsait (Oman).
Pop highly disapproved of my hogging precious loo time, to read those ‘novels’. Incidentally, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am REALLY ticked off! An old family friend’s kid surfaced, recently, and added me as a friend on Facebook. I accepted, because his appearance brought back fond memories of our childhood. Playing on the beach. Dinner parties. Christmas, et al.
The other day he shows up on Facebook chat and asks me: ‘Hope you know [...]]]></description>
