The Derailed Desire
Clasping wasn’t passion anymore, but a routine. Carnal needs and desires hitchhiked to a state of arousal, and sunk in an unfamiliar state of eerie silence. The breaths deceived. When pacing, they puffed of someone else’s lovemaking skills. When gasping, they panted of a fulfilled orgasm but unsatiated needs. When hushed, the breathings murmured se... more...

Kalingini, the Story.
No one knows what lies ahead, and because curiosity is greater than fear, and truth is stranger than fiction, we all are searching, like our predecessors. Actually trying hard to face the future. Just like buying an umbrella on the onset of black clouds hovering upon the mauve sky like the ghosts of the 18th century. 18th century. What a period in ... more...

Nothing (Bakwaas)
  There was always a subject on my mind which I wanted to elaborate while doing nothing. A subject very close to my heart. Okay ladies and not-so-gentle men, hold your breath, the subject is ‘nothing’. It’s quite an elaborative subject on which reams could be written, provided someone is doing nothing. But then, everyone is doing something or the o... more...

Irony in my Diary
  The day before. What a day. It’s been an eventful day in my life. Too much happened in those frenzy moments. I’ve never felt so special in my life. So special, so wanted. If I was to start my life yet again, I’d juxtapose every day in a manner that resembled yesterday.  The day before. What a day. It’s been an eventful day in my life. Too much ha... more...

Belonging
 Unwanted foetus. Yet survives the drudgery of birth. The womb’s horrific dream comes true, it’s a girl child. Abandoned, the baby’s fresh red blood mixes devilishly with the grey mire of the sewer. Fate unconfirmed, hunger gives company. The whole world is hers. And she belongs to the whole world. A scant girl now. Not much in her share of joy or ... more...

Somewhere down the line when you look at the past, you realize that it played a big part in shaping your psyche, your outlook.
