Missing from my world was that voice I had not heard in a while. In the chaos of the last eight months I did not notice that it had gone missing. Since it is not given to raising itself above others it can't be heard unless you keep an ear open for it. In the [...]

To say the abruptness had a single cause would not be an accurate portrayal of events. To say it had multiple causes would not be accurate either. It is one of those things in the world that stop abruptly because of a death of momentum and a lack of will to attempt motion of any [...]

After the madness of momentum comes its death. As inexplicable as its birth, in its death, it leaves in its wake a feeling and a sense of puzzlement and a weary expectation of its next visit. I have lost count and track, there is no longer the pursuit of seeing and finding patterns. The forfeiture [...]

As expected, it has been a tougher-than-normal winter. As expected, life has gone places where it was least expected to go. There has been much that was sought. There has been much that has been a disappointment – the self being not the least in leading the list. I wish the story was different every [...]

It is a homecoming of sorts. It is a feeling that is familiar. We have much to celebrate. It is a return to a lack of innocence. It is a victory of sorts that smacks of defeat. But you have to cut losses, you have to cut losses, you have to cut losses.

The month is always an interesting one. It brings about the best and worst of things in this little world of mine.

It does not feel like that long ago when I moved into this house. I had had a major fallout with my then flatmate and wanted to end that relationship and strike out on my own. So we (the third flatmate came with me) decided to look for a new place to stay and we [...]

It is hard to put a finger on the feeling. Maybe it is not a feeling at all. Maybe it is just a unified stream of crisscrossing emotions, reactions, resolutions and interactions that goes rushing past. A dip does not grant you anything singular. Then again, you knew that, we already spoke of it as [...]

Since form often constrains than liberates, I will ditch it for the time being and dispense encapsulated bits of substance to summarize the random clumps of thoughts simmering around me. It is indeed odd that after some 5500 kms of travel, I have wound up feeling the most amount of peace in a place where [...]

So, I wonder where am I at? Is this a dream? I can't seriously be here. And, by 'here', I don't mean leaving a trail of billowing dust on a plain that stretches from one corner of your vision to the other, in a place high up above. By 'here' I mean Delhi, the place [...]
