The wind.

The wind howled consistently. The wind chimes that had once hung peacefully by the edges on the doors and windows, occasionally being pushed around by gusts of wind, wailed loudly. The wooden shutter flipped across the window, depriving for mere seconds the window of its veil, creating a rattling sound as it came [...]

My best wishes and happy birthday!

Where ever you are, what ever you’re doing, I only hope you’re in the best possible health, state, situation. I wish you a happy birthday. I wish you all the success, happiness, and joy in life–for life’s too short, too cruel, too difficult. I wish you all the luck in life that [...]

Winter downpour, and I.

Minutes before midnight, I sit partly drenched in what appears to be the first absolutely chilling downpour of winters this year. Standing on the roof earlier, under a sky covered neatly in a thick albeit somewhat transparent robe, feeling the breeze lashing against every bit of exposed body, I could have sworn I was [...]

Shooting a bird flying high in the blue sky.

Do you believe in destiny? Do you subscribe to the belief that what happens, happens for good, that what bad happens, happens to avert worse from happening? Do you believe that from the point you settle on a decision till the point where you materialise upon it you are in total control of [...]

Hypocrite!

I snapped, withholding my emotions, “Honey, I have done all the crying I had to. I am not going to shed a single tear.”
The letters on the small, luminous screen of the cellphone turned blurry. A tear rolled off the left eye. Then another. And another. With eyes glistening with tears, I pressed the send [...]

It is just not possible, I’m afraid …

It is nature’s way of saying, “I am sorry. I know you two love each like nothing, and that if you were to get together for the rest of your lives, you would lead a wonderful, beautiful life, loving and cherishing each other. But, I am afraid, it is just not possible.”
I don’t know why [...]

A blanket and some thoughts!

Staring into a screen mounted over a desk placed alongside several desks in a computer laboratory in the University on a late Monday morning, exerting undue pressure on mind to cause it to think up of something to blog about, flapping legs in and out sideways in a fit of nervouness, gliding my gaze from [...]

Heart-broken?

How do you console a heart-broken person?  Simple.  You can’t!  You could, say, crack jokes to see them laugh, say something to make them feel special, divert their attention to a totally different thing, etc.  While those might work, in reality, what they end up accomplishing is proving to others that the heart-broken individual feels [...]

Smile!

When I fell ill earlier this year, I almost gave up. I just couldn’t bear it anymore. And if it hadn’t been for mom’s support [and care], it likely would have taken a lot longer for me to recover. Despite having a fickle memory, I clearly remember mom’s words, which she gently expressed when I [...]

Of crushes, love and all.

Having a crush is not a bad thing. Getting obsessed over it, however, is.
If you believe in luck, I’d say you would be damn too lucky if you were to fall in love with a person who turns out to just be, um, the right one for you — if there is any such [...]
