a memoir of etchings and wanderings
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!” →
The latest addiction has been in the form of yet another TV show. My dear friend at work Shonali had often quoted the show to be intelligent and fun but I never really had the opportunity to download and watch them. The newly discovered free Wi-Fi at work has made my last few weeks here rather eventful. Bones is an American crime comedy-drama television series that premiered in 2005. The … Continue reading “Omnia mea mecum porto” →
It’s that day of the year. That day where all households in India get bustling to celebrate siblings. From when I was a child, its has been all a rather exciting affair to me. Sisters tie a thread around their brother’s hands, get gifts, the food is great – whats not to love! I’ve been a little less fortunate when it came to brothers. I have none that share my … Continue reading “Ties” →
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” →
It seems like the rains might finally be here. There is a perpetual overcast and frequent drizzles. I’m in my happiest frame of mind. I’ve also recently discovered ‘Advaita’ – they were playing live at the Olympics Opening Ceremony screened at the British High Commissioner’s Residence. Among the madness, I stood still for a moment and listened to their lead vocalist. This is my recent favourite from them, reflecting the … Continue reading “Engulfed” →
Fiction and fantasy books are much more than some people credit them to be. They let your imaginations run. They make you believe. They make you learn good from bad. They are much more. This post derives inspiration from the much anticipated and recently released final installment of the Batman trilogy. I have not been an ardent a fan of the series – so much that I very recently watched Batman … Continue reading “Rise” →
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” →
And its done. Just like that. Now to deal with the chain reaction.
How would it feel to be made of steel? To glide through life and let nothing slow you down. To remember nothing that made you laugh or cry. To never have a thing to keep in your cupboard of memories. I’ve never felt that way – am always tied down with things the world calls ‘feelings’. How I wish they wouldn’t make me happy. Happy to care. Happy to give. … Continue reading “No Strings Attached” →
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” →
