A blanket with doodles of greying edifices, sleeping fields and dotted streetlights folds in several places where the roads meet and the streets part. The earth-a blanket when the night sky comes out to watch. I'm a tiny speck moving on the rough sketch when all is silent, everyone is asleep and I'm travelling. I... Continue Reading →
The Truth
I wonder how many times we go through moments of severe longing for something. An intense want for something to go right, someone to pull through, some day to dawn upon us, some time to come to us and someone inside us to win. I wonder how many times we have that feeling where we're... Continue Reading →
Fight Club – “The” Book
(FC = Fight Club) You're in office. Your boss hands you reports to analyze. You've been reading FC while you could. Your boss, your girlfriend, the coffee machine; all of them are like bees buzzing outside your head. Last night you weren't in town. No one knows that. Last night you were in town. Everyone...

Slowly and steadily, creating a form that once did not exist. Watching... Continue Reading →

I've been living in a city for some time now. The city I have lived in, is like any other—busy, crowded, pseudo-purposeful, full of chaos, and hurried. While no one looks at the clouds above in a city, they exist. Even though no one acknowledges the forgotten trees that abound, they stand quietly in the... Continue Reading →
Waiting…
You're in a train. You're in an auto. You're at work. You wake up while you can. You're in a fleeting moment of serenity. You're in a phase of waiting. You're waiting for the dusk to fall. You're waiting for someone inside you to come home. You're in a bus. You're in traffic. You're in... Continue Reading →
Lounging Around
It's my second post in the "month of love" and it makes me wonder if I should be talking about love. And now, that this post has begun, I'll just digress from the first line. I just needed to break the ice between me and my dashboard's "New Post" tab. There's no intended, coherent reason for writing... Continue Reading →
