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...

A Typical Special Night
As they were walking holding each other’s hand, playing with fingers, brushing shoulders, she stopped. He couldn’t keep the momentum, and stopped with a jerk from her hand. She still in her notorious mood blurted, “It’s going to rain. Wanna hug under the bare sky or take shelter under that bus-stop with a coffee?” He had enough of her by now, her s... 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.

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...
