This weekend was a case where time just whizzed past me. Saturday evening was a wedding and I spent the first half of Saturday trying to get my clothes organized. I know I should have prepared earlier but it’s almost … Continue reading →

Mornings are just amazing. The time of the day that we get up fresh, free from all the troubles in life. Step out and smell the freshness of the air inhaling every bit of happiness into your lungs. Doing this … Continue reading →

Saturdays!! Mine tend to be pretty lazy since of late. I mean I can go out and do something and keep myself occupied, but I’ve gotten used to this whole stay-at-home-and-avoid-the-world routine. I’ve had extremely hectic weekends in the past … Continue reading →

So here I am sitting in an uncomfortable chair, sleep deprived and watching obnoxious wanderers move into various places. Some are in a hurry. Some just chilling out. Random couples taking the time to stop and kiss each other. Always … Continue reading →

I try to run on a somewhat regular basis, mostly in the mornings whenever I find some time. Waking up early is a real bummer but evenings never work for me, there’s always something or another that takes up my … Continue reading →

Where are you I wonder I feel your presence In all things I feel and see The blooming flowers heavy on the branches of the tree The little birds dancing on the leaves heavy with water Screeching in delight in … Continue reading →

Here I am at home on a work day, a Friday, because it’s raining like crazy. There is no sign of the sun except you know that it’s somewhere out there because it’s not night time. Um well the point … Continue reading →

Another early morning for me. I really don’t know why but this week I have been having trouble with getting myself out of bed. Anyway this morning I managed to drag myself out of bed. Just didn’t want to be … Continue reading →

After reading a piece about Picasso in The Economist I’m completely hooked to the dude’s art. His expressions on paper depicting his emotions are staggeringly beautiful. I must admit I have not been an admirer of Picasso’s art. It’s almost … Continue reading →

I think I’m getting the hang of this. Blogging from odd places with the mobile device. The smallish keyboard and autocompletion need some getting used to though. Once those hurdles are kinda mastered, it’ll become second nature. I’m no where … Continue reading →

Since Frank and Camicazi have already made two attempts at this. Thought I should give it a try too. So here are mine: He could smell the spices being roasted. Chicken curry would be served for dinner. A special meal … Continue reading →

Walked into work today all geared to face the week and then there was no internet. So here I am blogging until the issue is resolved. Yesterday was a good Sunday. It was an absolutely wonderful day. I say this … Continue reading →

I have always considered this blog to be a journal kinda thing. I’ve never been able to keep a journal consistently. I started several journals back then but they kinda grew stale within mere weeks. My sister is a big … Continue reading →

Here are some late night quickies .. In terms of hint fiction of course.  The movie appears to be another heroic flop. The girl next to him laughs annoyingly, hogging the armrest. Entertainment in this country is truly depressing. The … Continue reading →

So here goes my second attempt and coming up with some hint fiction. Kadala karaya stood by his cart watching people, occasionally pouring some kadala into small siri siri bags. Little he did know shrapnel yet to infiltrate. Sirens blaring … Continue reading →

I have been having a lot of trouble with avocados ever since I moved out. I love the fruit, I cannot resist the need to make a smoothie or guacamole every time I see them when they are maroon and … Continue reading →

I close my eyes, to discover what I seeHoping there will be a mysterious answer, hidden somewhereIt’s just dark matter, hollowness I see at firstAnd maybe a bright light, probably from the screen in front of meA small retail shop, … Continue reading →

So I thought I give this hint fiction thing a try. Nothing better to do until I fall asleep. I’m on a tiny keyboard trying out what Dauna did some time ago. Blogging from the phone. Here goes, Darkness falls … Continue reading →

Have not been able to write much this week. It has just been limited to my personal journal. Since the beginning of this year my journal has been my only solace in times of disappointment, loneliness, selfishness, anxiety. Absolutely any … Continue reading →

Came across the invitation for hint fiction on Groundviews, as pointed out by Dauna. It says that prospective writers should base their stories on something very Sri Lankan, to evoke something of this country – something loved, reviled, longed for … Continue reading →
