    Editing a grammar-nerd!

    by
    It was with great pride that an acquaintance tagged me in an FB post. It was a pondering on a famous painting that depicted an epic mythological scene. This particular scene shows when exactly the turning point happened in the story and how after this moment, nothing would ever remain the same. I agreed with […]

    Negative and negative equals positive!?

    by
    “Poets take the weather personally” I read somewhere… It’s true though. Now, as I sit by my window and feel the chilly wind rattle the shutters and the wayward raindrops wetting the floor, I have no other choice than to feel nostalgic. It’s mandatory. It’s mandatory. All those wistful thoughts and wishes rise up and […]

    Beautiful Beauty Parlor?

    by
    This beauty parlor/salon was one of the well-known ones. However, it had been many months since I had been there. While driving to the place, I remembered fondly the warm staff and warm head massages. I used to go there for the one-hour head massages that would make you ooze bliss from every pore. As […]

    Decisions

    by
    There is a time when you have to make a potentially life-altering choice. When the people around you are already happy about it even before you decide, you get a nasty feeling in your gut. Something inside keeps saying “No…no….no…no…” It may be a great opportunity. It may be something that anyone would crave. Even […]

    I fell in love…

    by
    One single look is all it took. I looked and was endlessly mesmerized. I could feel my soul just yearn and sigh. An arm’s length apart and yet I felt I was absorbed. I could make out a thousand colours and a thousand meanings in those depths… For a while, my ears remained deaf to […]

    Crazy schedules and calm winds

    by
    The weather is perfect for just nuzzling and burrowing into the warm depths of your blanket, wearing sweaters and hoodies and covering your ears and blowing off steam from a hot cup of milk. Pressing the snooze button with complete confidence is my latest dream… One of the lessons learnt while doing an MBA is […]

    The Chennai Heat – Part 1

    by
    Occasion: The Great Debate by British Council Venue: Chennai What happened? Were we the team who would go to UK on a completely sponsored study tour? No, because we only got till the semi-finals. Despite the lack of preparation and the lighthearted attitude towards the debate, being chosen as the top 6 out of 26 colleges is […]

    Camera-less in heaven

    by
    The sad cry of the soul still echoes. Profusely I wished I had the sense to bring my trusty D40. It was Day Zero and a very famous violinist was mesmerizing the audience. The lights danced in and around the mist surrounding the figures on the stage. A million times I was horrified because I […]

    Swimming in a new pool

    by
    We buy fishes for our home and put them in the tanks we buy for them and they start swimming. As long as you provide the essentials, they live for as long as 10 years. In essence, they keep swimming in the new pool without any hesitation. At least that’s what I think. What about […]

    Trains and trips

    by
    When you go on trips, there always some things that you’ll never forget. Whether it be the snoring guy across the aisle or the kid who thinks of you as a drum, and my personal favourite is the dedicated employee, whose paperwork and next day work everybody knows since he kindly shouts it through the […]

    Everyday Happiness

    by
    Sometimes you really feel the need to get away. What if you got an opportunity to just take two weeks off and pack and go somewhere where you have to do nothing.  It would be a godsend, especially when you have that pressing feeling in your gut to just unload. For someone who dreams of […]

    One Afternoon in Nairobi

    by
    It was around 11 AM and the sky was still overcast. The entire scenery was a dull grey colour. The dew had not yet disappeared. In one of the tall cacti, I saw this shot and clicked. It’s not cliche when you say that you knew even before you clicked, the picture would be great.

    In Nairobi

    by
    I knew that Nairobi was green unlike other cities and was quite contrary to the idea of an “African Country”. No, it’s not all dry and deserted. It’s green. It’s very green. I keep saying green because I have no other explanation. Hilly ranges, dark grey clouds overhead, you’re in a car waiting for the […]
