The gap between “is” and “could have been” determines so much of who and what we are. Most of our lives are then spent trying to either overcome the gap or trying to overcome the fact that there is so much of a gap.
For most of my life I have never really wanted [...]
One of the more regrettable losses of my recent life is drifting farther away from my writing. I make half starts now and then, promising myself that I will persuade me to write more often, that the spark still lurks somewhere needing only a bit of gentle pushing, But, as time mercilessly grinds its [...]
Nothing spectacular about this one. It was a 10-day trip to get some errands done in Trivandrum, so it had precious little travel within the state involved in it. Otherwise, it was mostly work and short runs around town. I also got to experience the new Indigo flights to Trivandrum. Flew in on the early [...]
Did a trip with the family in Himachal over 4-days. Since my co-travellers were not accustomed to the kind of cold you are likely to experience in the north, the decision was made to play it safe and keep Kullu as the base. This opens up Manali, Kasol and Jalori as options within a 60 [...]

The past three months were unprecedented. Here I am, trying to find the right words that would fit what I have to say and I can't do any better than to say it like how it was. I normally spend my days cooped up in my own bubble. Most of my thoughts are about things [...]
I do not know if this is some sort of a penance, for crimes that I may have done and crimes that I may not have. In its doing, and under repeated questioning, all I can see is that this is nothing of that sort. There is really no reason behind this other than that [...]
Day and night is the difference between clocks, time zones, the time we go to sleep and the time we wake up. Overriding all of those is the consideration of light, whether it is making its first appearance in the day for the world or if it is its last. I’m listening to a famous [...]
