Surprises…

The most beautiful and risky aspect about life is the surprises it has to offer. When you find yourself smiling at the time you thought you would have cried bitterly. Laughing at a joke which you always thought was poor in taste. Finding out something about yourself which totally contradicts what you thought about yourself. [...]

Forgot

my password today.. that shows how much I have been ignoring this writing space. Also shows how damn busy I have been.
I can’t remember very well the last hol I enjoyed. Thoroughly. I guess it must be Goa in mid-March. I loved Goa irrespective of my disliking the fact that we didn’t see much there. [...]

Wish you a very Happy Holi!

Happy Holi to colour our lives, our dreams and to colour each other with hopes and joys! 
This year I sent sms to all my friends and family saying Happy Holi. And I wished the rest over phone. I usually don’t send such wishes. I usually don’t even call people. But lately life has taught me [...]

Highlighted senses

I m forcing myself to type something right now. So many posts have already been blown away by the fast wind that crashes on my window sill as the bus runs across the city.  I just want to write something which is not a term paper or an assignment or a draft report or a [...]

Things I wanna do before I turn 30

This time I didn’t make any new year resolutions or celebrations. But circumstances pushed me to dream harder. To make bigger plans. I don’t see much gay or fun in recent present so making long term plans. Less than five years are left before I turn 30, and there are few things I wanna do/have [...]

Musings

Coz I have nothing really to write right now. Its a Murphy-Anu’s law. When you are too busy to type it out there are entire posts, articles which you think and articulate in your mind. And when you sit down to write down something, the words seem to vanish away. I have First Language Pedagogy [...]

At 25!

Birthdays are good. I realised this year only. I talked to my friends with whom I talk only twice a year (on their and my birthdays). I got to know that a school friend is pregnant, and its the best news one can hear on birthday. Its refreshing to hear so many voices [...]

Change

How do you respond when your close friends/family tell you that you have changed? Well.. one is to simply deny – the response which I have come across most often. Another one is to sound apologetic – I am sorry that I have changed. Because change also means the relationship between us would get directly affected. These [...]

Initial Rush

I remember my first few months in Bangalore. Especially the first one when I was living in the guest house. Or living out of a suitcase. I used to make long long calls in the evening to friends. Meet bro and house hunt or go out on bike rides with office aquaintances on weekends.
Its usually the [...]
