The Haunted Street of Ahmedabad!
We all have been in a ghost situation once in our life. However, mine are uncountable; what can I do? I'm just their FAVOURITE. So, let me take you to that cold movement of summer 2016. Due to the excitement of sleeping on our new penthouse's terrace, my Dad, me and little brother didn't go to my Masi's place.
The Not-So-Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani Manali Trip
Hey folks, listen up! First things first, I’m not some influencer or celebrity getting free sponsored trips—let’s clear that air. My story is a little different. So, let’s rewind to the pre-COVID era, back when sanitisers weren’t something we carried in our pockets (correct me if I’m wrong!). It’s November 5th, 2018, exactly the day after our third semester exams wrapped up. That’s when the big Announcement made me more popular! Our department dean casually announced, "So, you all need to plan an excursion trip and Adya will lead you all."

Ghosts in the Hostel? Funny Horror Stories You Won't Believe
"Qrrrrrr…"The door clamps screeched. Oh no, not again."Riya, did you hear that?!" I whispered, tugging at her blanket, heart pounding like I had just failed an exam. "I think it's her again."Riya, my ever-chilled-out roommate, barely opened an eye. "Yaa, Sohini, it’s just the wind. Sone de," she muttered. But I knew better. Ever since that one night, we were convinced—humare hostel mein bhoot hai.
The Great College Car Heist: When I ‘Borrowed’ Dad's Wheels
We all have been in vehicle-related situations in college, whether a show-off, accident, trip or something else. As a founder of SOY College’s Car Community Mumbai (due to copyright issues, I can’t disclose the real name), I feel obliged to share a fantastic incident from the day I took my dad’s car to college.
The Comedy Side of Indian Parents’ Unending Expectations
I’m sure all of us, especially those who grew up in the 90s, can relate to this one universal truth – Indian parents and their never-ending, all-encompassing wish list for their children. Whether you’re Sunu, Munu, Dugu, or the countless other affectionate nicknames we’ve been blessed with, the scene in every home remains the same: our mothers. Yes, the quintessential Indian mother with her daily ritual of prayers and endless “manifestations” for our future success.
Dimples: The Charm That Changed My Smile
Now that I have one, I believe that having dimples makes a person extremely cute and attractive, like me 😉 I said, 'Now that I have one,' that's because the God has been funny; thus, I took after Sasta Shahrukh (IYKWIM)😝.
