How Wild It Is, To Let It Be

How Wild It Is, To Let It Be

Boo is resting after her morning walk; her head is on her favourite panda and she seems to be half-asleep, as though she is reluctant to slip into slumber because she wants to include herself in my parents’ conversation. My parents are having their breakfast, listening to some devotional songs, and discussing the beautiful, mundane things in […]

Shifting Roots

Has it ever happened to you that you are having a conversation with someone and even though both of you were speaking the same language you couldn’t really understand a word of what they were saying? Walls of cultural references, upbringing, experiences and age separate you. You could tell them what it was like to […]

Life Lessons In 2013

LOVE AFTER LOVE   The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other’s welcome,                                                                                                                         and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was yourself. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart […]

The Road..

Which side of the road do you walk? There is a parallel line. You look at the road And it gives you a stare right back. The road to home has always looked the same. It offered me a chance to go out and see another roads in the country. Where do you go but […]

And Love Took Over..

And Love Took Over..

I first saw him in jeans and a white shirt, an orange knapsack over one shoulder. He never forgave me for asking if he was a good pilot, that first encounter. He claimed he stood on his toes to get picked for the Republic Day parade, so we could get to know each other in […]

On A Humid Afternoon-1

On A Humid Afternoon-1

It was an unjust and humid afternoon-like most of the afternoons here. The sun was beating down hard upon the city and upon the taxi in which I sat sweating profusely, peeping out of the half rolled glass window. A high rise went in a swift curve past my upright gaze. An old man stood […]
