Now this is what I call "cake"! It has been a while since I wanted to write about the glorious chocolate addiction of mine, then I was too busy traveling from one end of the world to the other, while living on chocolate to be writing ..though of course the image of the chocolate on arrival was always in mind. ...

“He’s coming. Keep your hands off him” he tells her. She has no intention to have her hands anywhere close to the man, unless otherwise needed to throttle him. Then again, waste of energy to throttle such a wimp. In any case she never gave him credit for his courageous behaviour. How could she? He had none. Well at least ...

I haven’t written in a while, did not see the point of doing so. It seems what I write embarrasses people. I always question why they should be embarrassed reading what I write. What one needs to be embarrassed about is what they do. If one could do it, why try to hide it. If you need to hide it, ...

It’s funny how lot of people have a habit of making a sexual connotation in order to add humour to the conversation they have with another. I, while appreciating humour, do not condone the irrelevant mentioning of some word that has a sexual innuendo that goes rhyming with the word that I would have mentioned. However it seems that many ...

The LAKBIMAnEWS cartoon on Sunday seemed to have ruffled some feathers. Going by the tweets that were critical of the cartoon, I noticed some card-carrying activists of the anti- Sri Lankan lobby, who may have mistaken LAKBIMAnEWS for one of the Sri Lankan government mouthpieces – which LAKBIMAnEWS is not – and decided to make avail of this opportunity to ...

Aiden left this morning. I watched him pack all his clothes into the back pack, without uttering a word. I did not tell him that I would miss him. He already knew that. And I knew he would miss me more, in his new aboard in Milan while trying to connect words to finalise his thesis. We walked to the ...

Copenhagen Skies Last few hours together. I had not finished my packing yet. I needed to get some things from the super market. I ask him to join me on the walk. Three blocks. To walk with me so I could have him near me. He refuses. I ask him a few more times. And he refuses still. I give ...

The bilateral agreement signed on cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy 16th February 2015, envisages transfer and exchange of knowledge, expertise as well as capacity building and training of personnel on several areas relating to the ...

“I love you” he says. She was a stranger to feelings. At a certain point in life, where life was simpler, she believed she loved him, in a very stupid unrealistic way. The way Bollywood movies make people believe. Silence, the norm. “I know you love me” he says. He had decided for her. As usual. “Do I?” “Don’t you?” ...

It was a beautiful wedding. She thought as she went through their wedding photos. He and she were both smiling, and he looked the self she fell in love with, minus the beard. She has her motherly look on him, the one she used to have when he was up to mischief, or was acting cute. She wondered how things ...

Finally at the beach after the rains stopped, heels at hand and “are you for real?” expression on my face. He laughs, he was getting used to the expression over the evening, though having been first worried as to what it meant. The sand was wet from the rain, and the waves that had been rougher than usual. “What does ...

Days are easy to deal with while nights are a little harder. But as long as you get through the night, the sunshine be always a warm welcome. Realized last night that I do miss being hugged to sleep, and waking up in strangle of arms of laziness. Sometimes it is tough, but you still live on. I try. I ...

“If you married him, you better live with him” a typical mum statement though she surprised me with her reactions to my daily lot during the last few weeks. She thinks I should try to make things work, and since yesterday that I should suck it up and pretend to the world. Sounds a lot like what he told me ...

I decide to bug him. It was the usual story, me saying something that was attention grabbing, and he reacting to it with sincerity, followed up by my usual statement “I was kidding”. Yesterday was different. I think he was more tired than usual, or his work-out at the gym was more exhausting than usual, we kept meeting each ...

It’s been a while since I felt this shit. At times you realise you fake a lot of things. Smiles and emotions, happiness and contentment. I of late have become really good at many of those. Including endurance of physical pain. Feeling empty has not been anything new. But I feel it more of late. Sonali tells me I am ...

It’s been years since she last saw his face. In real life or through those photos. The two of them smiling at some random joke or some random awkwardness . It’s been a while, quite a while. But it did not seem the case. There was something about those images, the different places, but the same smile flashing through. She ...

The developed countries rejected the proposals made at last hours of negotiations for the improvements to the UN tax committee, and a global tax body. Developing Country Proposals Rejected On Wednesday key improvements to the language ...

Dating has become virtual of late, with me in one corner of the world and he on the other. “You have the cutest son!” Aiden says. He has got used to seeing my son sleeping, and has formed his own opinion on the little one. Commenting on a statement I made on relationships and marriage, he in his smart-ass mood ...

Yesterday someone pointed out to me that I had skipped a day. Honestly I have no clue what happened to the day. I do recall that the day was lived, but I think I am losing my mind in small doses and I keep falling into oblivion before I would really grasp back little what is left of it. A ...

I haven’t written in a while. I have been busy trying to find out how a man could cheat on his pregnant wife, lie to the world, abandon her and his kid, and never bother to check on either. I have been busy trying to move on from all the suicidal thoughts and the “why me?” thoughts. And I have ...
