Inter-tribe Skating

Date: 18th Feb 2026

Dear Kapish,

Today is going to be a very good and important day for you in school

There is an inter-tribe Skating event today and though you were not part of the Skating class in school, you did try out in the previous rounds and got selected the the Finals today wherein you will be representing Hope Tribe and skate/race against students from other tribes  

Trust me when I say this, representing your tribe or even your school in any event is matter of great pride. I used to try a lot of be part of the Red House when I was in school, but the competition was fierce and I never got an opportunity as such - you, however, were selected in Year-1 and it's an amazing feat

But before the skating finals actually start, we got a notification that you will be one of the 4 students selected to talk about any 1 new event in a creative manner 

We felt it would be good for you to talk about the Indian Women's Cricket team and increase awareness of their recent success. Hence, we prepared a small cutout of the news article and gave you a little readout for you to present

Now, we don't know how well you will present and the appreciation you may receive. We don't even know how well you will do in the Skating Finals. But, I am writing this here to just tell you how proud we are of your achievements today! 

Well done and keep working hard

Cheers,

Dadoo

The Art of Arranged Marraige

This week began with my very dear cousin giving me the best news of the year that he has decided to get married. It all started a few months back. First the families met, which was followed by a few more meetings between the boy and the girl and finally they decided to tie the knot. My cousin is a gem of a person and a true gentleman. My ‘gonna-be-bhabhi’ is a real lucky lady. After all the congratulations, my mind shifted to the scary fact that I would be next in line for the coveted throne called ‘Marriage’. My thoughts go out to my poor ‘gonna-be-wife’. If you happen to read this anytime, I must say sorry in advance. “Arranged Marriage” – Now here is a word that has been redefined with changing times, here in India. Bollywood movies give a guy his very first impression of ‘seeing a girl’. The meeting takes place in the girls’ home. The guy has to sit there with his entire family and first only speak to the girls’ parents and relatives. That’s where they judge if the guy is capable ...

Ebbanad - II

(This is a continuation from Ebbanad - I. Please read that before continuing here) Our next destination was the forest shack where we were to camp that night. It was a 30 minute downhill trek and we were welcomed there with gracious helpings of veg pulao and curd rice. After rejuvenating ourselves, we began the main part of the trek – through the forests. Ever since our guide had joined us, he had kept telling us stories about their encounters with elephants and tigers. It had raised our hopes of catching a glimpse of a few along the way. But the important thing to remember was that the experience of the guides had been accumulated over decades of years and by calculating the average it was obvious that our chances of seeing any animal in one day was very bleak. Yet a walk through the forest was enough inspiration for me to pick up my stuff and start trekking. The entire trek lasted around 3 - 4 hrs. In the process we walked through thick jungle completely surrounded on both sides by s...

A Fairytale....

It was the 4th of July, I was in Mumbai looking forward to what was probably the most important day of my life. It was also the day that the Rain gods showered the might of the rains, on this island city. Little did they know that the rains were the last thing to stop me from meeting the most important girl I had ever known and to express my feelings for her. It had been raining all morning and I had kept my fingers crossed that it would eventually stop. I delayed my departure from my home for an hour in that hope, but at 11am I simply put on my jacket and left. I told her that I would be reaching at around 12:30pm, considering all the delays in the train……and it was real heartening to see her concern for me, as she made sure that I call her multiple times during my train journey from Tilaknagar to Vile-Parle . It took me well over an hour to reach my destination. I know, I know…I choose train station to meet my loved one. Most unromantic…...that too considering that I was half soaked...
