a memoir of etchings and wanderings
This has happened to me before. The getting overtly attached to people and places. Watching them inch away and stare helplessly. And then doing it all over again. In the past two years, TV series have sort of replaced my social life. The characters have become friends – faces that I look forward to seeing everyday. I laughed aloud at their silly pranks. And sobbed quietly when they hurt and … Continue reading “Euphoria…” →
Yesterday I made a spur-of-the-moment decision to go out with my colleague, Abdullah. He lives by himself and drives to the UAE almost every weekend – and when he doesn’t – he asks if we would like to do something, but my laziness and driving guilt have always engulfed me.

The rains have arrived in India. And in the world. What a beautiful time of the year. Yes, I will never tire of writing about them.

There would be no need for the fan and Shankar Bhaiya at office would be requested to bring in the lemon tea first thing in the morning. The huge glass windows of Vatika Triangle would probably be all foggy in the mornings … Continue reading “Winter Deprived” →
Somehow it has already been a week at the new workplace and somehow I have to get used to the fact that Wednesday is the new Friday. So evidently the weekend is here and I have to catch up on my sleep for the last five days. Did I mention that I wake up at 7 am and take a shared cab to be at work at 8? Yes, … Continue reading “Wednesday” →
