• at the crossing

    ,

    In this oh-so-god-damnit-hot summer, I was drudging myself home from the bus stop. It’s a three way junction near my house with the most hopeless traffic situation.So I crossed halfway, waiting for the other half of road to clear up. A bus and a two wheeler almost brushed each other on my left and the bus driver…

  • Find a recent picture of yourself.Settle for something which is decent enough to be cropped and makes you feel good about yourself. (even if its taken in a saree)Go ahead. Put it up.Wait for few hours for people to discover it on their news feed.Get bombarded by the most amusing ‘what’s the deal’, ‘are you…

  • So I was reading Upasna’s post about stories, making connections and it got me thinking. Really thinking. How in life we don’t get to choose stuff, and have to randomly connect dots based on instincts or beliefs. Most of the times, after everything has happened.

  • Flooding 101

    All the comments, observations in this post are all out of jest. I mean no offense to anyone actually experiencing these calamities in the nature’s fury sense.So I was all ready to leave house at 6 in the morning for a short trip to Mumbai. The brother out of a sudden burst of sisterly love,…

  • books I am reading

    I have read some horrendous, some fair enough and some interesting books in the past few weeks. Penning down my few cents on the same. * Don’t lose your mind lose your weight – Rujuta Diwekar Oh! for beginners I am skinny. All the raised eyebrows apart (why do you need to read the book…

  • I do not know if this is what happens with you, but if I am pressed beyond a point regarding anything, I shut myself in my own world. Must be some childhood incident or reaction that I still behave this way. (I think I have watched lots of movies and read enough books which co-relate…
