Venturing out of the house in the evening is a forgotten excursion. Unlike the days when it was an exciting compulsion to go down to play or meet up with school friends who lived close by, current evenings are routinely spent traveling back home from work. Today was an exception. I was at home, and in the... Continue Reading →
Untold
I don't know if living is a lot of awesomeness punctuated by deep misery or if it is a lot of struggle sprinkled with much needed respite. As one grows older, it's hard to tell the difference. Who you once thought were your friends you'd grow old with and have your kids play with theirs,... Continue Reading →
While I Wasn’t Writing
Of late, I haven't been able to write all the nothing I wanted to. I haven't been able to put on paper or on the blog all those poems I think of when I visualize the countryside. Those stories that I want to say about the crumbling society around us, and how there could be... Continue Reading →
Changing Identities
I had a queer dream last night. While it was largely about going somewhere, I remember only a snippet of it. I had carved parabolic lines on dark-brown timber. Someone looked at the curve and said I shouldn't have used a free hand. And because now that they were curved, I should use a scale... Continue Reading →
Surprised much?
Recently, I was in Hyderabad. The first time in a new city is like a clean slate. What impression it casts on you is something you might take away for life.

You're very well surrounded by everything thing that tries to propel you from where you are to somewhere above. They try, you let them, and they even possibly succeed. But sometimes, you're just not... Continue Reading →
Losing My Religion
Ever since I can remember, I have had a God to go to. I have believed in Him more than I did in anything else. Somehow, that hasn't been enough. There is a constant need for me to wear my religious preferences on my sleeve. I could say I am uncomfortable doing so only that... Continue Reading →
Reinforcements
Somehow I'm wary of cocksure people. More so because I am a firm believer in the relativity of everything in this Universe. I don't know many absolutes and I don't mind that. I prefer it actually. If I have learnt anything in my life of 25 years it is this: everything changes. And if there... Continue Reading →
In My Veins
In the final episode of Castle - Season 4, a song plays in the background as Castle's daughter, Alex, talks about goodbyes on her graduation day. The song touched a chord in me (other than the obvious one) and I Googled it. The song is In My Veins by Andrew Belle. Although, it isn't one... Continue Reading →
