This is the story of Rukmini and the many people who flit in and out of her life.

She is ordinary like so many of us. Sometimes beautiful, brash and intelligent. Sometimes dowdy, dull and stupid. One time, she is pretty with brains, a gorgeous boyfriend and a loyal friend. Other times, she is unremarkable with an insipid spouse and a loyal friend.

Life doles out dashes of sweetness and bitterness, and we like they say, are required to make the requisite lemonade.

Rukmini, oh Rukmini, you hold the sugar n spice and the ladle, why do you always make it bitter?

Read away, dear friends, Rukmini's story. No judgments, no fault finding and no expectations for our dear lady please. We are what we are and we do what we do, always.
