Crackers, animal sacrifice & azaan on loudspeakers I have my own take on Diwali crackers, animal sacrifice & azaan on loudspeakers and I have my reasons. Tell me yours.

This is in reference to the latest advertisement of the popular jewellery brand Tanishq, wherein a baby shower function is featured in a Muslim family for a South-Indian daughter-in-law.

So, I have a compatibility issue. And it’s not with my partner. Not even with my mother-in-law. No, not with my dog, which I don’t have! It’s really a battle between my one ability & disability.

Chapter-1 It weren’t lemons but demons that were thrown at us! The lemons that were hurled on this occasion were unwantedly too ripe and too juicy for our enzymes to absorb. At a time, when I wanted them dried
