Hello, It’s Been a While

September 20, 2020

Hey, I’m back. It’s been a while. Was it a year ago since I last posted in this space? Maybe you’re wondering where I went to or what I was up to. As for the first question, I’m still stuck in the same city where I was eight years ago. Sometimes I suspect I’ve taken … More Hello, It’s Been a While

A Snippet from My Chaotic Mind

July 29, 2019

It’s curious how some truths creep up on you during the lulls of the day, like how you feel too much and could have easily destroyed yourself, if you let it. How fragile are the threads holding you together, how temporary. How every minute feels like you’re buying time. And sometimes how rare moments, like … More A Snippet from My Chaotic Mind

So Long, Mary Oliver

January 26, 2019

I was scrolling through my IG feed when I stumbled upon a post thanking Mary Oliver. My heart broke a little when I read on and discovered that she died on January 17.

27 Realisations after 27 Revolutions Around the Sun

November 11, 2018

Then and now seem to morph into each other that I sometimes cling madly to each passing moment. Now another year marks my time on earth. The past 12 months have been a rollercoaster ride and they have passed by in one happy blur. I choose happy because even though the lows frequently visited, the … More 27 Realisations after 27 Revolutions Around the Sun

Knowledge: Blessing Or Burden?

October 17, 2018

  From the brilliant mind of Salman Rushdie: Knowledge is both a delight and an explosive minefield; both a liberation and a trap.

Dreaming of Chocolates

October 7, 2018

It’s a slow day. The clock is ticking loudly, magnified by the complete silence that envelops my room on late afternoons. There’s nothing to do here. I’m bored out of my skin.
