I had a phone conversation with one of my younger brothers sometime back. He is famous for being Dodo (yeah, that’s his name) as much as for his mischievous behaviors. And of course me and other siblings for being Dodo’s brothers. I am like Dodo’s brother (most of the people do not even know my real name but they know me as Dodo’s elder brother). He got admitted into school very late because of...

Life is a perception of your own reality                                                                                                    ...

I guess for the most part, aside from being able to watch cartoons, going out, reading books, animating, reciting rhymes and lulling them to sleep, one of the best things I am continuously learning from living with children is keeping in touch with this  sense of curiosity... innocence and simplicity... One Sunday, my mom and I gave a wonderful treat to my nieces, belle, who was then...

Were you ever in a circumstance where you were damn right with all the due following of rules and regulations, yet you seem to be getting the least of all you deserve, or even worse, you don’t get at all but in some bizarre fashion, you land up paying the debt. I was telling my friend, other day about how the ideal world, something that should be logically functioning in a honest and true manner,...

Let it go Cause the hardest part is over.Don't you say it Cause I don't want to remember.A little care,Just a message that says, "I'm coming over."A little time,Cause it's you I wish to turn toI'll get by...It's your thought that really matters now.Just one hourIs all I ever needed from you somehow.I'm relaxed,But I'm scared and uncertain.I'm afraid,That you'll cause this heart...

“I think my house is haunted.” Her voice came out in a hoarse whisper. She looked visibly shaken, her face ashen, fingers gripping each other in a fist, nerves standing out. “What makes you think so?” he asked. “Last night…” she could not go on. It was the same as last night. The same terror gripped at her throat, steadfast and sure. “Tell me.” She shook her head. She could not. The cold was still...

Whispers romance the moonlight, you make love through the nightBeads of sweat cool in the breeze, meandering the gaps of embraces tight Beads of sweat cool in the breeze, roving hands naught to ceaseSweet sighs of the sensual lips, tug, nibble, fumble and tease Sweet sighs of the sensual lips, a coming closer of the hipsThe mind blows, bowls, body shudders and my heart flips.

Whoever thought we could progress beyond selfish gains? We that were born of dust, to dust return seeking grief over love and happiness the children burn even before they are born. Image courtesy - Google Images Copyright @San...

She is the pink evening of a sunny day, She is an ocean and I am the Bay, She is the only gift for which I pray, She is the one who takes my pain away, She is the reason of what I am today, She is the brightest colour and the rest is grey, She is the emotion I can't convey, She is the beauty words can't portray, She is the one I could never betray, She is the scent...

She will chase you around for a while, But there's going to be a day when.. She's gonna stop running.. In circles around you She's going to get over you  & That very moment , You are going to wish you had let her catch you...

(This is not for those who cannot digest stories of child abuse) “What are you doing?” she asks her voice wary, cautious and really frightened. “ Shhh! Hush!” he continues to run his coarse fingers over her creamy skin.She is scared. He suddenly looks bigger, more ominous than ever. She begins to shiver, the room dark, a chill running through her five-year old body, goose bumps spreading all over. “I...

I would love to go to India. Nay, I love to go to India.Outside my apartment, the dissonance of bustling traffic soon slowed to a dwindle as night set in, punctuated only by the occasional honking. The scent of freshly-sunned bedsheets enveloped my senses as I snuggled into the warm cosy bed. But I couldn't sleep. My mind had been thinking about travelling to India. I tossed and turned in my bed.  I...

THIS ONE IS FOR MELISSA AND SAM....MAY YOU BOTH ALWAYS FIND LOVE Last night I couldn't sleepBecause of the dreams Dreams of the things we would doCouldn't get you out of my mind Couldn't stop imagining your touchCouldn't sleep because of your lips Lips that would kiss me And caress my every inch Deep in thought all alone  You drift into my dreams.  Wishing I could see you Just to gaze...

When I woke this morning was told it rained… I looked out The skies were grey… I sat in bed sipping scorching hot coffee sighed and wished it was a Sunday… Such glorious days should be spent holding your face to the breeze, talking to the sounds of silences interrupted by rumbles of thunder… Along with those gray clouds my mind wandered… off to the poem… The solitary Reaper… then back again… to...

"When you live from your soul, you don't try to numb yourself from life's sorrows. Nor do you become so overwhelmed by its grimness that you stay engulfed in despair. Instead, face the pain as you soothe and comfort yourself in its midst. And then let it change you, sensitize you, fill you with compassion. Know that it will open you later to deep joy."             ...
