A Letter to My Pen Pal

Dear Friend,


I’m Nehemiah Dhariwal from Dhariwal. I’m super curious to know about you and hope you’ll write back soon!  


This morning, as I was sipping my tea, I started wondering—are you a tea lover, or does coffee steal your heart? Honestly, I enjoy both.  


I don’t really believe in zodiac signs, but just for fun—I’m a Cancer. Apparently, Cancers are quite emotional, and I’d say that fits me sometimes! What’s your zodiac sign? Do you think it matches your personality, or are you more practical or analytical?  


Recently, I watched KGF and loved it! Are you into movies or are you more of a cricket fan? I’ve actually never played cricket and wouldn’t know where to start.  


People say I’m a glass-half-full kind of guy. How about you—glass half full or half empty? I have a hunch you’re the optimistic type!  


We haven’t met yet, but I hope we will someday and chat about everything under the sun. Until then, take care of yourself and do write back!

My Unlikely Obsession with Tara Sutaria

My Unlikely Obsession with Tara Sutaria * A Chance Encounter * It was the same year I got married that Tara Sutaria debuted in Bollywood. I remember watching "Student of the Year 2" and being captivated by her beauty and talent. I was curious to know more about her, so I googled "cast of Student of the Year 2" and discovered her name. Little did I know that my life was about to take a dramatic turn, and Tara Sutaria would become a constant source of inspiration. * A Tumultuous Time * My marriage didn't work out due to compatibility issues, and we eventually separated. The divorce process in India can be lengthy, so we lived apart for some time before the formalities were finalized. Those were tough times, and I struggled to cope with the aftermath. Despite putting up a happy facade, I was upset and struggling to find my footing. * Finding Solace in Tara's Movies * It was during this difficult period that I stumbled upon Tara Sutaria's movie "E...

From Rebel to Christmas Star: My Unexpected School Days Memory

As a student, I used to dread school life, thinking I'd never cherish any childhood memories. But, I'm here to share one unforgettable experience that might resonate with fellow "reluctant" students. During my time at United Christian Boys School, an annual Christmas play was a highlight. Each year, a different institution would perform, and when our school's turn came, I was surprised to be chosen as part of the cast. Why? Because I was known for my stand-up comedy skills in school, and apparently, that landed me a role. The play's theme was centered around the birth of Jesus Christ, and I was assigned the role of a person who denied room to Joseph and Mary. It was a comedic relief role, meant to add a lighthearted touch to the serious play. Honestly, I wasn't thrilled about the role – it wasn't the lead, and I wasn't even invested in the play. My motivation? Avoiding boring math classes and having some fun. Despite my initial reluctance, I sho...

Surviving the Sting: A Boy's Brutal Lesson in Hostel Discipline

Trigger Warning: This post describes physical punishment involving intense pain and potential trauma. It reflects on outdated practices once common at United Christian Boys Hostel but since reformed. Reader discretion advised. Based on my direct experience; the study incharge system was abolished years later after seniors, including myself, pushed for changes. ## The Hostel World of Rules and Ranks At United Christian Boys Hostel, during my 5th-grade year, life felt like stepping into a mini-military camp, worlds apart from the day schoolers who commuted from home and knew nothing of our isolated routines. Away from family, 12–14 boys crammed into each sleeping room filled with cots and double-decker beds, sharing tight spaces, whispers, and the weight of unyielding rules. Study hours, bedtimes, and silence after lights out were enforced with iron fists—academic performance was non-negotiable, with each grade having its own "study incharge" appointed by the warden to oversee...
