a memoir of etchings and wanderings
I’m usually known to procrastinate specific things in life like exercise, collecting on finances and making phone calls among others, but I feel most guilty when I delay writing travelogues. From personal experience, I feel that the memories and trivia are most fresh within the week of returning from a trip, making it the opportune moment to pen it down for memory’s sake. It has been over two months to … Continue reading “A Ceylon Odyssey” →
Because sometimes in your life, you get swept away by a story. An idea that doesn’t stop your eyes from glinting, even as you grow up. Come every 31st day of the month of July – I am reminded even more of the magic. J.K. Rowling rightly said that some stories stay with us forever. Until the very end. Happy Birthday, Harry Potter.
It’s not every day that one turns twenty six. It is also not common for me to have time on hand to write a proper elaborate birthday post. But this year I do, and I thought I would reflect on how lovely April 08 has been for me, over the years. What better way to do it, than with pictures. Through the years, Ma and Baba went out of their … Continue reading “Special Chabbis!” →
❤ There can never be enough said about what a blessing you are. At 57, you are more fabulous and full of life, as ever. In my prayers, I thank the heavens. And hope that I might be able to become more like you some day.
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” →
A lot of phone calls, a birthday card from Ma-Baba, many blessings later I am twenty five plus two days and floating in the happiness of being given a fabulous Canon 50 mm lens for portraits (Courtesy: Aditya, Ankita, Richa, Milan and Vidha) , a spanking new purple watch (Thank you, Basu), a Jack-in-the-box who says ‘I Love You’, a stuffed toy croc and a lovely FastTrack bag (Thank you, Shoita) , … Continue reading “Happy To Me” →
As the clock turns to twelve and I stepped into the much debated twenty five, I am inundated with a multitude of sentiments. It is true that age is only just a number, but the fact that I will no longer be able to check the 18 to 24 age box is slightly unnerving. Reaching a quarter of a century, I want to make a conscious decision to change for … Continue reading “Two Dozen Plus One” →
Today was one of those days when I feel happy that I am the way I am. Sometimes it doesn’t feel all that stupid to do silly things just because my heart thinks its right. These times, I don’t listen to any other voices and just do what feels right at that moment. A quick cab ride away was a special birthday boy and for once, I didn’t think it … Continue reading “Stupid is good.” →
This post is from a new place, a new computer and a new environment. There are no longer hills with vegetation, no cool breezes in the evenings, not every face I see, I can recognise, neither is there a feeling that ‘Yeah, I’ve been here forever!’ Not that I am complaining. Just that the air is so much more charged wih change – and more is coming, I know it; … Continue reading “A New Place” →
The date changes to March in the calender, and I am already excited. April is my most favourite month, for more than obvious reasons; I was born in it, and so was a nephew and a neice. Plus, I havent met too many unpleasant Arians; we are quite a nice lot! This post, however, is dedicated to the fourth of March. A very special date in my life. The birthday … Continue reading “March, the 4th” →
