Where the matrimonials websites and columns are not the first place to seek life partners from, they are definitely not the last.

So, to put that point across,...

Once there was an idle crow.
Aimless, hopeless, he flew to and fro.
He watched some kids playing some exploring game,
So he thought why he shan’t do the same.
He fled to the nearby hotel where he met Mr. Patrick Cox,
Who fed him bread crumbs and told him to think outside the box.
He kept on flying until he caught a sight desirous.

The sun beats down on you as you traverse through the sand. Sweat trickles down your face, in a desperate attempt to make it to the ground.
There is no soul in sight. Strange insects hover incessantly just out of your reach, waiting expectantly like a vulture on the eve of battle. The island is unforgiving. Surrounded on all sides...
There’s a question which is stuck in my head since a long time: ‘Why all the forms and official documents ask for just my father’s name?’ Why is not the name of my mother given any relevance on most of the official documents?
