I have been away but for a reason. Not negligence, not disinterest. Perhaps, it is self introspection. Back, for good. Not for someone, but for what I am.

2019: Introspection, Tears and Future
‘A picture is worth a thousand words’. And, words encapsulate life. It’s 31 Dec 2019, and my usual ritual of a customary recap of the previous year is now like a Netflix series – a recurring, never ending one, that is. 2019 will go down as one of the most enterprising ones in my life.Continue reading “2019: Introspection, Tears and Future”
Prevailing Disasters
If we meet someone for the first time and we end up asking, ‘What’s your name’, it’s a sensible question to ask. But what follows next, is a recipe for disaster and that’s exactly how our society is built. What we hear is what we percieve. Apocalypse is not a situation for the future, itContinue reading “Prevailing Disasters”
Curious Case of History
Stonehenge has remained a mystery and an enigmatic destination for years and centuries now. But it does invoke resonance and awe in the same breath. Toppled rocks over a precarious design in different sizes placed over a tepid piece of earth – such torrid piece of landmark inviting such crazy anecdotes could only have oneContinue reading “Curious Case of History”
Wild and Close
How would you react if a tiger comes and kisses your car before meeting one of many other tigers for an afternoon cuddle? I remember seeing them, and my 3 year old son’s epic reaction will always remain etched in my memory as the most memorable one. No, he wasn’t scared as he is tooContinue reading “Wild and Close”
Sea of Water
The coastal path of Wales is one of those places that doesn’t leave you even after you have left Wales, for a very long time. We put our tents in Cardiff but it was the blue waters that stayed with us through our uninhibited and refreshing stay in the beautiful land of cliffs, wet landscapesContinue reading “Sea of Water”
A dialogue with God
I ain’t a saint, I understand Karma but am equally susceptible to worldly pleasures and I am not ashamed to admit that I am normally sane and quite easily, overtly ambitious by average human standards. I lost someone very close to my heart earlier this week. He was a more than a friend, a brotherContinue reading “A dialogue with God”
Dost, this was not the plan..
Mamu, yes we did have a lot in our agenda and for our future but this was certainly not recorded in our books. And, as I am left weeping at losing you, I cannot accept the fact that life’s gorgeously fleeting nature has robbed me of a great friend and an amazing human being. IContinue reading “Dost, this was not the plan..”
Stunner of a Sunday
If it was raining glorious passing shots and some brilliant baseline tennis in one corner, the other corner at home celebrated Cricket’s brand new World Champion. And, a cracker of a contest it was! The Wimbledon final was expectedly a long one as I could not expect anything less from the 2 top players battlingContinue reading “Stunner of a Sunday”
When emotions win.
How much ever we try to elude the inevitable question, an India – Pakistan Cricket Match isn’t a Cricket match any more, it never was. More significantly, it’s even more illogically placed if it is a Cricket World Cup. And, that’s exactly what unfolded today. Our emotions were more pertinent than the significance of aContinue reading “When emotions win.”
London, again.
This is my nth time in London. We visit London very often, reasons are plenty. Friends, and I think we really love London. At times, I find London overrated, sometimes so vibrant and exuding energy all the time, with all the people around. I guess, I do love London. Sorry, said that twice now. But,Continue reading “London, again.”
No Blood, Just Death
Not often do I see crime and gangster dramas without a blood splattering show. ‘Siberia’ was one such example. Less (in fact, none at all) blood, fewer dialogues, some steam to get you hot and an insanely predictable end. Love lost, cause lost, not sure why it all started in the first place. Gosh, IContinue reading “No Blood, Just Death”
