a memoir of etchings and wanderings
I’ve lifted this video and the inspiration to this post off a friend’s blog. How could I not. There are love stories and then there are these. Pixar has and continues to transport us into a world which we might never be able to visit with their imagination and belief in magic. This part of the 2009 animation movie ‘Up’ is beyond words. Eight minutes of living … Continue reading “Paradise Falls” →
Out of the hundreds of songs that we hear over the course of our days, some we groove to, others we add to the ‘Favourites’; some we forget about, others which stay with us; some remind us of a person or a memory, others which are genuinely random. Once, in a while – there is that one song – one voice – one line – that just leave you stunned. I … Continue reading “Language of the Gods…” →
There was a boy. He was everything any girl could dream of. He would do just anything to see her smile. He always had a handkerchief to lend and a shoulder to cry on. He went out of his way – too many times. He would treat her mother as his own. He loved her voice. He would make cards and write letters to her. He knew exactly what could … Continue reading “#TrueStory” →
Although I have not been able to catch the seasons on television, I’ve heard that this season of Coke Studio India has been much more impressive and impactful compared to the debutante edition, which was quite the joke. I continue to be mesmerised by our Pakistani cousins as, season on season they churn out the most beautiful, soulful music. I’ve been listening to Season 5 a lot at the new … Continue reading “Entrancing Highs” →
To think of it, seems like only yesterday that I walked into the office of a rather unknown firm – a R & PM Edelman. I had never heard of them, not before I had begun organising internships for my public relations batch at college. By the end of the college year, in a whirl, I had interviewed with them, got selected and chose Gurgaon as a desired geography. Although … Continue reading “Time Of Our Lives” →
I concur with Mr. Marley. I feel this more than ever because the childhood has been stripped of it. People around me cringe at the sight of an overcast or the rumbling of thunderclouds. The joy I feel is beyond description. So when I stepped out in Calcutta today and it rained cats and dogs, I could not help myself from flinging away the umbrella and soaking up the showers. … Continue reading “Drenched!” →
Over a year ago, I had first heard of Instagram and seen what filters can do to seemingly boring photographs. After my recent rendezvous with the mind-blowing iPhone I have actually spent some quality time with the app and it is safe to say that I’m an Instagram addict! Captures from the season through the #instagram lens 🙂 Droplets! My favourite! View from an auto-rickshaw Rear-view Brolly and wet tiles … Continue reading “Insta!” →
Today marks eighteen years to the day that the bespectacled boy-who-lived, discovered who he was, and there has no looking back ever-since! It has also been a year to the release of the final installment of the cinematic counterpart also came to an epic close. It was a rather emotional moment, causing me to write this post. But the years have passed, and we have been made to believe that Harry is now … Continue reading “Draco Dormiens Nunquam Titillandus” →
No matter how much I write about it, it will never be enough to express how much I love the rains. Almost everyone who knows me even a little knows of the joy I experience to see the cumulonimbus gathering. I missed the first showers of the season and have been waiting anxiously for them to reappear over the last whole week. As I write, the rain is pouring. Children … Continue reading “Showers Of Blessings” →
They call it a crazy little thing called love for a reason. Sometimes it waltzes into your life. Other times you are probably looking for it for eons. Some love is here to stay. Others are momentary like a shooting star. There is the love that you can sing to the world about. And there is the one you would smile to yourself to. Love that is unshakable. Love that breaks … Continue reading “Crazy Little Thing” →
