The Stories Within Stories
We all love to read stories or hear stories or sometimes weave stories. Neil Gaiman once said, “Stories you read when you’re the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you’ll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you, it […]
Dear Diary…
I don’t know exactly what to write today. I wanted to write something because I am feeling slightly bored and depressed so I made a few diary entries. I was surprised to see myself crying at 5: am in the morning. Those salty droplets of water which often unleash repressed feelings just wouldn’t stop until […]
Blaming the chair
It is interesting how parents teach kids to hate and despise anything that hurts them rather than reason out that this too is a part of life. While I waited for by delayed flight back home, I saw a child -two or three years old, whose legs got stuck in the chair. The kid was shocked and screeched […]
Waiting To Be..
Far across the sea I see.. a place waiting to be a place..where the mountains are deep and seas are high. I will be where no one has been… Into the darkness…into the wild, a free man’s place with wonders of its own kind. Flaming jungles like a forest fire, stoking the endless journey of […]
We Are..

Shamshad Begum: The Voice Of Abandon
The thing about the past is that it never comes back and yet never really leaves. Shamshad Begum for instance is not just a Wikipedia note with a birthday and a death day. She is a memory for those of us who grew up with her songs. Though for all purposes, the woman who sang […]
The Absoluteness Of Truth
There is an extensive blue sky stretching out above you. You have been taught to believe it is the atmosphere that wraps the earth protectively, cradling it in its arms. You look at the sky and see clouds drifting by, a few birds flit across. You see dust motes floating in the air before they […]
The League of Extraordinary Actors
The Delhi Police Commissioner Neeraj Kumar missed his vocation in life. He should have been a performer. From what little we can make out from his wooden expression, whenever he appears on television to participate in well orchestrated press conferences, he would have turned out to be a terrible actor. But how does that […]
Vanished..
Seven years of marriage were enough to attune them to each other’s energy rhythms; Ratan, an early bird while wife Meeta observed owlish hours. He would be winding down at dinner time when she would go amber, ready to turn green as night fell. ** “I missed my walk today. What’s the time?” he looked across […]
