a memoir of etchings and wanderings
Lyrics dedicated to the state of mind. Who says only love can cause heartbreaks. I’m just on the blue side of lonesomeRight next to the heartbreak hotelIn a tavern that’s known as three teardropsOn a bar stool not doing so well The floor has a carpet of sorrow But no one can weep in the aisle And they say someone broke the bar mirrorWith only the ghost of a smile … Continue reading “Jim Reeves” →
Hugest mistake ever to put your heart into things, more so, be attached to people and hope that they wouldn’t break your heart; Hoping against hope, I make the same mistake over and over to only find the theory proved right, time and again. Trust is dead. Somebody I cared for unconditionally thought me to be a sneak. Several others I thought to be significant misbehave all the time. I … Continue reading “A juvenile, emotional fool” →
Twelve days past the beginning of the year, and I guess the resolutions post should not be delayed further. However, this year’s resolutions are more of a must-achieve than the usual wish list. So here goes: 1. Learn to Drive Mobility has been a bitch. I haven’t been able to meet so many people who I wanted to, and the others who I have managed to meet, have been thanks … Continue reading “I resolve to!” →
It is often heard that no matter how old you get, you have never actually seen enough. The world always has something new to offer which can shock you to the core and people will never disappoint with the new antics they can come up with to surprise you – pleasantly or otherwise. My experiences have been parallel to the thought. And I have never been disappointed. The moment I … Continue reading “Cynical Me” →
At the onset of the New Year, this space deserves a happy thought. Through the past few months, there have been several moments which I would love to rewind and play over and over again and quite a few which I would just like best to forget. So, here we are. At 2011, and inevitably, am recollecting some of the most important things which happened in the previous year: • … Continue reading “MXXI” →
Anger is the point where all sense stops. Have heard of the experience from several people; when angry, most of the things done or said are regretted either immediately or later. But that doesn’t stop people from being angry, for others to be responsible for causing that anger, or at times to egg on the cause. The management of the said anger is the key. How does one control or … Continue reading “( ng g r)” →
The organisation I work for professes a philosophy by the name of ‘Living in Colour’, the crux of which is to be able to maintain one’s work-life balance. Increasingly, over the past few months I have noticed that I am the happiest when I am at work. There could be a variety of reasons as to why. For clarity and as I have always maintained that this is a forum … Continue reading “Living in Colour” →
One of the more eventful weekends that I’ve spent in the past 7 months; more because these are the winters, and I have now sworn to not let my lack of mobility get in my way of meeting people and doing fun stuff! Friday night was the year-end office party! At a venue which was falsely communicated to be ‘Turquoise Cottage’ in Adchini, Delhi and turned out to be a … Continue reading “More Weekend Chronicles…” →
Yes, I graduated. Although I did not get to wear the rented robes, or toss the hat with the tassels or even meet the people I spent two precious years atop a hill. It was a picture in mind that when I would finally post-graduate, the ceremony would be grander; it would all be a little more flashy and different. But I spent the Sunday at home, with the idiot … Continue reading “December” →
Have you ever had the feeling of non-belonging? The very same one which makes you feel as though everything’s lost. That palace of playing cards that you’ve been building for as long as you can remember has just been knocked over by a gush of wind, and it has all been undone. Living in a world where everyone’s a stranger. What it does to your morale when you find yourself … Continue reading “Ramblings of the troubled mind” →
