The Blur and the Bruises
To be honest, my school life seems to be a blur. I can’t seem to remember the details of a lot of things. I don’t remember what we wore on annual day or who topped which subject or who sat beside me in class 8B. But I do remember how I felt. I remember the…

A Journey to Nowhere……….
Have you ever wondered why is it that our memories are sepia toned? I don’t know about others but whenever i look back to the foundation years of my life, everything seems to be in the form of faded black and white. Like old photographs, torn at the edges, crumpled by time and associated with…

Harmonious Notes
Honestly, today’s topic had me flummoxed. The topic does not ask you to write about the three songs that you like most, what it does instead, is ask you the 3 most important songs of your life and their meaning. How do you decide which song is important and which is not. Let me try.…

Girl on the street

Retiring Gently, Not Abruptly
How do you want to retire? I don’t want to retire when I’m tired. I want to retire when I’m ready. Full, not finished. I think about retirement sometimes. Not in spreadsheets or pension plans—but in colours and feelings. I don’t want to retire because a calendar says so. Or because the world has decided…

Acceptance – Part 2

The Armchair Traveller
There’s a quiet kind of travel that doesn’t begin with a boarding pass. It starts with a book. A line in a film. A photograph pinned on someone else’s wall. You find yourself staring at a cobbled street in Prague or the curve of a balcony in Greece, and for a moment—only a moment—you are…

Freedom, Choice and Life
A lot of people have told me that life is full of choices. Is it really, or is it a combination of a lot of other things, luck, fate, spouse, children, parents, responsibilities, liabilities, duties and innate desire. Is anyone free, really? I don’t think there is an easy answer to this question. We all…

Prisoners of our mind….
What would you consider as an accomplishment? Is it when you reach a certain stage in your career, or is it when you get a desired degree, or when you buy certain things you wanted or when you marry the person you love? I mean what is it really? What should be our driving force?…

The long walk….. from anger to happiness
Anger is a futile emotion. It does nothing for you, just burns your heart and makes you cry for revenge. All those endless hours of plotting and saying the right things that should have been said. All the pent-up emotion an a seething rage which is more often than not impotent. Impotent because nothing can…
