Boredom sinks in. As usual. You vicious thing! The same story. The same conversation. Pretentious attentiveness, on a downhill journey. A slow one. Not fast enough to kill the boredom. Not too slow to go unnoticed. I lose track, of words and sentences. Mere words flashing in front of the eyes, no relation, no attachment. One sided affection. A ...
A read though all the good mornings, the good nights, and the nastiness of the last emails. Not ignoring the thin line between love and hate, a one that is fine, hurtful nevertheless. I read, I delete. Memories of happiness, at times pain, sometimes affection hidden somewhere within. Delete, one by one. Read, delete. Not relive, not relapse. Delete. ...
Life is in circles, of cycles. I start, I walk, and I return to the same starting point (of no point). Similar people, in search of temporary ego boosts of affection. Much predictable, them and I( No surprise!) Life moves, I move, from things, people and the person (the usual, shutting myself out. Hide away from trouble! Run! Run! Run! ...
Photo by Magdalena Roeseler I like to wait, at times. Not to say how I feel, wait for the most appropriate moment, (which at most times never comes) to make that grand announcement. I wait to say sorry, I say I need to tell him sorry when we meet. But he of course forgets (has in his mind things of ...
Words do not come easy for me, Not anymore. Not to express what I feel, how I feel. I venture, lost between expressions, thoughts, and chains of images, flowers, candles, cobbled roads and boots with heels, (annoying ones.) Expressions sweep in, different voices, different places. I walk along in my heels, in silence, with occasional complains. Within words come in ...
It was my wedding day. As usual my x husband was late. While everyone was panicking, and I was assuming that the man was being his usual self, Harshu decides to comfort my mother. I hear later that he had volunteered to play the mock groom in case the one who should play the real groom did not turn up. ...
(c) creative commons I was once in a relationship that I thought was a “relationship”. I had made my time for him, and decided his time was more important than mine. I would wait for him till he finished his work, till he would decide whether he would meet me. I would stay up hoping there would be a message, ...

I like to believe that there is a reason why people do things. A reason which might not be obvious but, despite its lack of visibility still existed. Deep down that existed. One might have to look super hard to find it, but then you do, still you do. And I choose to believe so. I once asked my ...

I woke up this morning, and knew it was time. I had explained a lot, over the years, moved on, moved back, then been floating around knowing not what I should be doing. Sometimes emotions become stronger than one expected, and you end up stuck without regrets, without plans and without any expectations. I look at the tell-tale signs, the ...

I watch him. I do it too often. I would stare at his face, him smiling with eyes closed until the eyes opened to find me staring at him. A quizzical expression or a smile would follow and he would pull me closer and I would snuggle up next to him in silence. One of those routines of ours I ...
(Photo courtesy wikipedia) Recently a video which was shared by a Sri Lankan on his Facebook managed to grab a lot of attention. Why? Many reasons. One probably being that some people liked watching cruelty to animals, the other due to a petition which was launched against the video, requesting that the man be punished for cruelty he inflicted ...
I type in the dark, with the company of mosquitos, and close to a rambutan tree which has become an inside joke of the family since it is a reminiscent or a reference to my ex-husband who claimed he had estates of the particular fruit (which of course I had not laid my eyes on). My sister comes out of ...
