All truth is either judgement or observation. *** Some people are never happy with anything they have. They can't find in themselves that satisfying feeling which tells them, "Oh yes, this is pretty good. I feel fine." No, they don't. There's never enough. Not enough sugar in tea. Not enough talking over the phone. Not... Continue Reading →
That Beautiful Girl
When I feel something in great measure, I can't react to it. If I'm extremely happy I won't be able to jump and smile in glee and if I'm mourning a loss, you can't get me to cry. Anything in between the swing from euphoria to despair, I can manage to react to. I'm almost... Continue Reading →
Reading Gulzar and Meeting Ghalib
I just finished reading Mirza Ghalib: A Biographical Scenario by Gulzar. There is a lingering sadness that the book came to an end. However, there is also a fulfilling warmth inside.

Of Being Eight and Older…
I am an incorrigible romantic. I think the world is beautiful and every thing that is nice and lovely outweighs the dark and unnecessary. I am hopelessly idealistic. Or I was.

Making it Worthwhile
I wrote this as a guest post for a friend quite some time ago on her blog, here. *** You don’t “take” a vacation. A vacation “takes” you where you need to be. So says me and my recent excursion to Delhi. In the travel-map of my mind, my vacations are not labelled by what... Continue Reading →
