The other day I had to go to work earlier than usual. I don’t know if you’ve walked into an office at an hour when no one is around, but there is a certain sense of calm that is uncharacteristic of these otherwise paced places. In my mind, I was a little happy because I... Continue Reading →
Heads or Tails?
The other day, over breakfast in office, we were talking about human beheading. Yes, extremely gross a topic to talk about over hot and gooey sabudana vada, and I did my best to resist throwing up. We were talking about how human beheading existed in parts of India as a means of worship and how... Continue Reading →
(On your) Mark
I have a few marks on my right cheek. The kinds that girls have if they touched their face with their nails. Yeah, that kind. Until a while back, I did not give a damn. Now, I do. I mean, since the last 3 days I've been noticing them and they're irritating me. They shouldn't be there,... Continue Reading →
G for Gratitude
I almost crashed today. Yes. Yesterday, my status said, “I think I need to stretch myself a little.” And I guess someone up there was listening and he fulfilled my prayer! There was no way in hell that a human being can do the amount of work I have done today in the time span... Continue Reading →

Security
It’s in there. Right there where all those precious treasures you possess belong. It’s been there for as long as you’ve known. No one has put it there. Not anyone that you know of. It lies in a cushioned bed of pink, of red, of blue, of white or any colour of your choice. And... Continue Reading →
The men I know and the man I don’t…
The men I know: I have a lot of guy friends. And some of them happen to be really close. The bull shit you’ve heard that a guy and girl cannot be 'just friends' is just that - bull shit. Anyway, the point is something else; I’ll get to it in a while. For as... Continue Reading →
Silence
It darted in the deep brown woods and clapped and cooed and laughed and croaked. It swooped itself, down to the clovers, and rose high among the aged oaks. When crisp butterflies visited wild flowers, it fluttered beside them, holding its tongue. Secretly it gulped in their myriad colours; not knowing it drank reflections of... Continue Reading →
