A friend shared this poem with me. I think this is a superb take on fairytales-the ones that we've left far behind. Here's to revision... *** Any Prince to Any Princess ~ by Adrian Henri August is coming and the goose, I’m afraid, is getting fat. There have been no golden eggs for some months... Continue Reading →
Unlikely Friendships
I've been meaning to write about the driver of my office bus for a long time now. He deserves a mention somewhere, and since I have a blog, I should mention him here. I've been traveling by the office bus for over 2 years now. The driver who I'm mentioning here was recruited (I guess)... Continue Reading →
My Equine Fondness
The horse has been my favourite animal for as long as I can remember. I simply love this animal. My current wallpaper theme is that of horses. My absolute favourite is this image, and it makes me very, very happy! :-) The 'Horses' theme for Windows 7 can be downloaded here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/A/D/1AD70045-D933-4ABA-BC84-84C6F7165F38/Horses.themepack

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 →
Trying
Tries. Hundreds of them. Some result in winning, some in spirit-crushing losing and rancid hopes that lie on your wooden table in the verandah. Some let you hair fall on your dirt-smeared forehead while some bring you up to the cliff of the mountains– in your head. Some infuse in you the smoke of the... Continue Reading →
A little cheese, please?
I saw Ishaqzaade the previous weekend. Contrary to the comic strip exploits that ripped apart the insides of the movie, I quite liked it. Yes, I did. It did have a wayward storyline, but it managed to keep me waiting for what happened next. Although I did know, that the hero and heroine die in... Continue Reading →
Somewhere to go to…
Long, long ago, when I didn't even know what a sanctuary meant, I decided to make a house for myself. One that would have all those things that I love and all the material things I rightly owned. It was never a juvenile dream, nor was it a childhood fantasy. It has been a solid... Continue Reading →
