#30to30: Ma is my shooting star

It is beyond beautiful that a period of nine months can bring about life. But if there is something I know of, as in fact the most beautiful phenomenon of life,is how in these nine months is born, the most flawless, perfect, selfless and all encompassing human being- the mother. I cannot help but be…

#30to30 : Keep your wonder alive

There is one thing I can say with certainty from all these years. There is nothing, absolutely nothing that can be at par with the feeling that accompanies the simple pleasures of life. To soak in the sounds of the sea, the silence of the sky, the serenity of the sand. All the speed of…

Today, I am food-ie-d.

  Of all descriptions, I never described myself a foodie.

To me, food was something I denied myself, often deliberately because the calories counted to be…

As calm as her pink lipstick

  Death, I assume is insanely, tranquil. Just as calm as her beautiful pink lipstick.

Now,look at our CVs.We just start looking all the same all of a…

He lived.He died.Nothing otherwise

I want to be Buson’s butterfly.

“Perched upon the temple bell,the butterfly sleeps” Stillness,Buson trapped in the lines. I sit on the corner of my couch.Just a minute back, the temple bell pictured in my mind as capable of making lesser reverberations than my two bedroom apartment. For just this moment I want to be that butterfly.
