meandering in the vastnesscourtesy – google The O’Brien’s have lost a son. We will never know which, how and when (somewhere in the 1960’s maybe). The gentle, forgiving, loving mother can’t seek the why. She knows life should go on. When you lose someone the whys are the toughest to get an answer for. Such…

I read Pico Iyer’s column which a friend forwarded and suddenly went into the introspective mode. The article and my findings are totally unrelated which is co-incidental.(link here – http://www.deccanchronicle.com/editorial/op-ed/joy-quiet-659)My findings filed in the report below (wow so *work-like*)* The better part of my life till now has been about existential crisis.

N1 said very nonchalantly ‘I always knew I was no good with academics beyond a limit, so I dropped out of the race and did something I could really cope with’. We beamed at her proudly. It takes rare self-awareness at a younger age to arrive at such decisions. Of course her family never objected…

Hmm. Umm. Hmm. 😀 But whatever I said in the…
There is dead skin around us all. In the form of dust. Around 60-70% is my estimate. We shed so much everyday, then it should really be easy to stay anew, afresh, burden free. So I think.Staying with brother is comforting in a lot of ways. With room-mates I have always taken care to not…

Despite the known rebellious attitude, you cannot help but hum the prayers the kids recite everyday during assembly.* You sing the national anthem Jana gana mana everyday. You keep aside any work…
I have a few questions here people! The pooja thali for referenceimage – google First how I arrived at them. Today while the rakhi tying ceremony, I remembered a lot of things Aai used to tell me as a kid. Don’t slouch, bend neatly, rotate the supari (areca nut says wiki..how fancy) and gold ring…
KT and I are childhood friends. We studied in the same primary school, in same class, also belonged to the same ‘group of friends’. After that despite living in the same city and chance meetings, we landed together at engineering college. We are radically different (?) personalities and when we had gotten over all these…
